Theorem untelirr

Description: We call a class "untanged" if all its members are not members of themselves. The term originates from Isbell (see citation in dfon2 ). Using this concept, we can avoid a lot of the uses of the Axiom of Regularity. Here, we prove a series of properties of untanged classes. First, we prove that an untangled class is not a member of itself. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 28-Feb-2011)
