Description: Define the value of an
operation. Definition of operation value in
[Enderton] p. 79. Note that the syntax
is simply three class
expressions in a row bracketed by parentheses. There are no
restrictions of any kind on what those class expressions may be,
although only certain kinds of class expressions - a binary operation
and its arguments
and - will be useful for proving
meaningful theorems. For example, if class is the operation
and arguments and
are and , the expression
  can be proved to equal (see 3p2e5 6009). This
definition is well-defined, although not very meaningful, when classes
and/or are proper classes (i.e.
are not sets); see oprprc1 3990
and oprprc2 3991. On the other hand, we often find uses for
this
definition when
is a proper class, such as in oav 4156.
is normally equal to a class of nested ordered pairs of the form defined
by df-oprab 3972. |
