Theorem dfsbcq 3404
Description: Proper substitution of a class for a set in a wff given equal classes. This is the essence of the sixth axiom of Frege, specifically Proposition 52 of [Frege1879] p. 50.

This theorem, which is similar to Theorem 6.7 of [Quine] p. 42 and holds under both our definition and Quine's, provides us with a weak definition of the proper substitution of a class for a set. Since our df-sbc 3403 does not result in the same behavior as Quine's for proper classes, if we wished to avoid conflict with Quine's definition we could start with this theorem and dfsbcq2 3405 instead of df-sbc 3403. (dfsbcq2 3405 is needed because unlike Quine we do not overload the df-sb 1868 syntax.) As a consequence of these theorems, we can derive sbc8g 3410, which is a weaker version of df-sbc 3403 that leaves substitution undefined when 𝐴 is a proper class.

However, it is often a nuisance to have to prove the sethood hypothesis of sbc8g 3410, so we will allow direct use of df-sbc 3403 after theorem sbc2or 3411 below. Proper substitution with a proper class is rarely needed, and when it is, we can simply use the expansion of Quine's definition. (Contributed by NM, 14-Apr-1995.)
