Theorem	iotajust 5767*	Soundness justification theorem for df-iota 5768. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 29-Jun-2011.)
⊢ ∪ {𝑦 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦}} = ∪ {𝑧 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑧}}
Definition	df-iota 5768*	Define Russell's definition description binder, which can be read as "the unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑," where 𝜑 ordinarily contains 𝑥 as a free variable. Our definition is meaningful only when there is exactly one 𝑥 such that 𝜑 is true (see iotaval 5779); otherwise, it evaluates to the empty set (see iotanul 5783). Russell used the inverted iota symbol ℩ to represent the binder. Sometimes proofs need to expand an iota-based definition. That is, given "X = the x for which ... x ... x ..." holds, the proof needs to get to "... X ... X ...". A general strategy to do this is to use riotacl2 6524 (or iotacl 5791 for unbounded iota), as demonstrated in the proof of supub 8248. This can be easier than applying riotasbc 6526 or a version that applies an explicit substitution, because substituting an iota into its own property always has a bound variable clash which must be first renamed or else guarded with NF. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 30-Jun-2011.)
