The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4247 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4286) with a proposition 𝜑. Our lemma states that it is an ordinal number. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 28-Jan-2019.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} ∈ On
Theorem	ordtriexmidlem2 4246*	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4247 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4286) with a proposition 𝜑.

This theorem is stated in "Constructive ordinals", [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 14-Nov-2018.)

⊢ ∅ ∈ {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)}
Theorem	onsucelsucexmidlem 4254*	Lemma for onsucelsucexmid 4255. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} appears as 𝐴 in the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [Bauer] p. 483 (see acexmidlema 5503), and similar sets also appear in other proofs that various propositions imply excluded middle, for example in ordtriexmidlem 4245. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Aug-2019.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} ∈ On
Theorem	onsucelsucexmid 4255*	The converse of onsucelsucr 4234 implies excluded middle. On the other hand, if 𝑦 is constrained to be a natural number, instead of an arbitrary ordinal, then the converse of onsucelsucr 4234 does hold, as seen at nnsucelsuc 6070. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Aug-2019.)

Theorem	regexmid 4260*	The axiom of foundation implies excluded middle. By foundation (or regularity), we mean the principle that every inhabited set has an element which is minimal (when arranged by ∈). The statement of foundation here is taken from Metamath Proof Explorer's ax-reg, and is identical (modulo one unnecessary quantifier) to the statement of foundation in Theorem "Foundation implies instances of EM" of [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". For this reason, IZF does not adopt foundation as an axiom and instead replaces it with ax-setind 4262. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (∃𝑦 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 → ∃𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 → ¬ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	reg2exmid 4261*	If any inhabited set has a minimal element (when expressed by ⊆), excluded middle follows. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Oct-2021.)
⊢ ∀𝑧(∃𝑤 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 → ∃𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
2.5.2  Introduce the Axiom of Set Induction
Axiom	ax-setind 4262*	Axiom of ∈-Induction (also known as set induction). An axiom of Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Axiom 9 of [Crosilla] p. "Axioms of CZF and IZF". This replaces the Axiom of Foundation (also called Regularity) from Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. For more on axioms which might be adopted which are incompatible with this axiom (that is, Non-wellfounded Set Theory but in the absence of excluded middle), see Chapter 20 of [AczelRathjen], p. 183. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 19-Oct-2018.)

⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} = V
Theorem	ruALT 4275	Alternate proof of Russell's Paradox ru 2763, simplified using (indirectly) the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4262. (Contributed by Alan Sare, 4-Oct-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} ∉ V
Theorem	onprc 4276	No set contains all ordinal numbers. Proposition 7.13 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 38. This is also known as the Burali-Forti paradox (remark in [Enderton] p. 194). In 1897, Cesare Burali-Forti noticed that since the "set" of all ordinal numbers is an ordinal class (ordon 4212), it must be both an element of the set of all ordinal numbers yet greater than every such element. ZF set theory resolves this paradox by not allowing the class of all ordinal numbers to be a set (so instead it is a proper class). Here we prove the denial of its existence. (Contributed by NM, 18-May-1994.)
⊢ ¬ On ∈ V
Theorem	sucon 4277	The class of all ordinal numbers is its own successor. (Contributed by NM, 12-Sep-2003.)

Theorem	opthreg 4280	Theorem for alternate representation of ordered pairs, requiring the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4262 (via the preleq 4279 step). See df-op 3384 for a description of other ordered pair representations. Exercise 34 of [Enderton] p. 207. (Contributed by NM, 16-Oct-1996.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐶 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐷 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ({𝐴, {𝐴, 𝐵}} = {𝐶, {𝐶, 𝐷}} ↔ (𝐴 = 𝐶 ∧ 𝐵 = 𝐷))
Theorem	suc11g 4281	The successor operation behaves like a one-to-one function (assuming the Axiom of Set Induction). Similar to Exercise 35 of [Enderton] p. 208 and its converse. (Contributed by NM, 25-Oct-2003.)

⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ On ∧ 𝐵 ∈ On) → (suc 𝐴 = suc 𝐵 ↔ 𝐴 = 𝐵))
Theorem	dtruex 4283*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). Although dtruarb 3942 can also be summarized as "at least two sets exist", the difference is that dtruarb 3942 shows the existence of two sets which are not equal to each other, but this theorem says that given a specific 𝑦, we can construct a set 𝑥 which does not equal it. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 4284*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). If we assumed the law of the excluded middle this would be equivalent to dtruex 4283. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	eunex 4285	Existential uniqueness implies there is a value for which the wff argument is false. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)

Theorem	ordsuc 4287	The successor of an ordinal class is ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 3-Apr-1995.) (Constructive proof by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 20-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 ↔ Ord suc 𝐴)
Theorem	onsucuni2 4288	A successor ordinal is the successor of its union. (Contributed by NM, 10-Dec-2004.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ On ∧ 𝐴 = suc 𝐵) → suc ∪ 𝐴 = 𝐴)
Theorem	0elsucexmid 4289*	If the successor of any ordinal class contains the empty set, excluded middle follows. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2021.)
⊢ ∀𝑥 ∈ On ∅ ∈ suc 𝑥    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	nlimsucg 4290	A successor is not a limit ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 25-Mar-1995.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ¬ Lim suc 𝐴)
Theorem	ordpwsucss 4291	The collection of ordinals in the power class of an ordinal is a superset of its successor. We can think of (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On) as another possible definition of successor, which would be equivalent to df-suc 4108 given excluded middle. It is an ordinal, and has some successor-like properties. For example, if 𝐴 ∈ On then both ∪ suc 𝐴 = 𝐴 (onunisuci 4169) and ∪ {𝑥 ∈ On ∣ 𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴} = 𝐴 (onuniss2 4238). Constructively (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On) and suc 𝐴 cannot be shown to be equivalent (as proved at ordpwsucexmid 4294). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 21-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → suc 𝐴 ⊆ (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On))
Theorem	onnmin 4292	No member of a set of ordinal numbers belongs to its minimum. (Contributed by NM, 2-Feb-1997.) (Constructive proof by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 21-Jul-2019.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ⊆ On ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴) → ¬ 𝐵 ∈ ∩ 𝐴)
Theorem	ssnel 4293	Relationship between subset and elementhood. In the context of ordinals this can be seen as an ordering law. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 22-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 ⊆ 𝐵 → ¬ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	ordpwsucexmid 4294*	The subset in ordpwsucss 4291 cannot be equality. That is, strengthening it to equality implies excluded middle. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 30-Jul-2019.)

Theorem	onpsssuc 4295	An ordinal number is a proper subset of its successor. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Nov-2014.)

Theorem	ordtri2or2exmid 4296*	Ordinal trichotomy implies excluded middle. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Aug-2021.)

Theorem	onintexmid 4297*	If the intersection (infimum) of an inhabited class of ordinal numbers belongs to the class, excluded middle follows. The hypothesis would be provable given excluded middle. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 29-Aug-2021.)
⊢ ((𝑦 ⊆ On ∧ ∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦) → ∩ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
