Definition df-oprab 5516

Description: Define the class abstraction (class builder) of a collection of nested ordered pairs (for use in defining operations). This is a special case of Definition 4.16 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 14. Normally x, y, and z are distinct, although the definition doesn't strictly require it. See df-ov 5515 for the value of an operation. The brace notation is called "class abstraction" by Quine; it is also called a "class builder" in the literature. The value of the most common operation class builder is given by ovmpt2 5636.
