Syntax Definition wcel 1393
Description: Extend wff definition to include the membership connective between classes.

(The purpose of introducing wff 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 here is to allow us to express i.e. "prove" the wel 1394 of predicate calculus in terms of the wceq 1243 of set theory, so that we don't "overload" the ∈ connective with two syntax definitions. This is done to prevent ambiguity that would complicate some Metamath parsers. The class variables 𝐴 and 𝐵 are introduced temporarily for the purpose of this definition but otherwise not used in predicate calculus.)

Hypotheses
Ref Expression
wcel.cA class 𝐴
wcel.cB class 𝐵
Assertion
Ref Expression
wcel wff 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵

This syntax is primitive. The first axiom using it is ax-13 1404.
