Theorem abrexexgOLD

Description: Obsolete version of abrexexg as of 11-Dec-2024. EDITORIAL: Comment kept since the line of equivalences to ax-rep is different.

Existence of a class abstraction of existentially restricted sets. The class B can be thought of as an expression in x (which is typically a free variable in the class expression substituted for B ) and the class abstraction appearing in the statement as the class of values B as x varies through A . If the "domain" A is a set, then the abstraction is also a set. Therefore, this statement is a kind of Replacement. This can be seen by tracing back through the path mptexg , funex , fnex , resfunexg , and funimaexg . See also abrexex2g . There are partial converses under additional conditions, see for instance abnexg .
