Theorem wl-isseteq

Description: A class equal to a set variable implies it is a set. Note that A may be dependent on x . The consequent, resembling ax6ev , is the accepted expression for the idea of a class being a set. Sometimes a simpler expression like the antecedent here, or in elisset , is already sufficient to mark a class variable as a set. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 7-Sep-2025)

Assertion wl-isseteq ⊢ x = A → ∃ y y = A

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 ax6ev ⊢ ∃ y y = x
2 eqeq2 ⊢ x = A → y = x ↔ y = A
3 2 biimpd ⊢ x = A → y = x → y = A
4 3 eximdv ⊢ x = A → ∃ y y = x → ∃ y y = A
5 1 4 mpi ⊢ x = A → ∃ y y = A
