Each clause is reduced to the definition of a null set through monotonicity and subadditivity of the measure; the countable case uses the given witnesses and the vanishing of a sum of zeros, and the almost-everywhere clauses compare complements in X.
Every member of is a subset of , as by Ο-Algebra and Measurable Space (i).
Proof of (i). If , then , and , so is -null by Null Set of a Measure (i), with itself as the witnessing set. Conversely, let be -null; by Null Set of a Measure (i) there is with and . By Basic Properties of a Measure (iii), , and , so (Small Facts about [0,β]: Zero, Finiteness and Sums of Zeros (i)).
Proof of (ii). By Null Set of a Measure (i) there is with and . Then , and by hypothesis, so is -null by Null Set of a Measure (i).
Proof of (iii). By Null Set of a Measure (i) there are with , and . Then by Closure Properties of Ο-Algebras, Intersections and Traces of Ο-Algebras, and the Generated Ο-Algebra (vii), and . By Basic Properties of a Measure (vii), , and in , as is a neutral element of the sum on by Arithmetic in [0,β]: Monoid Laws, Distributivity, Monotonicity and Cancellation (i). Hence (Small Facts about [0,β]: Zero, Finiteness and Sums of Zeros (i)), and is -null by Null Set of a Measure (i), with as the witnessing set.
Proof of (iv). Put ; then by Ο-Algebra and Measurable Space (i). By Basic Properties of a Measure (vi), , the sum being that of Sum of a Sequence in [0,β] (ii). Every term of the sequence is , so its sum is (Small Facts about [0,β]: Zero, Finiteness and Sums of Zeros (iv)). Hence , and (Small Facts about [0,β]: Zero, Finiteness and Sums of Zeros (i)).
Proof of (v). Let and be as stated, and put ; then and by (iv). The union is a set by The Union and Product of a Family of Sets Indexed by a Set, and the Intersection of a Family with an Inhabited Index Class, Are Sets (i). If , then by Indexed Families of Sets and Their Union, Intersection and Product (ii) there is with ; then , as , and , as , so by Indexed Families of Sets and Their Union, Intersection and Product (ii). Thus and , with and , so is -null by Null Set of a Measure (i). No choice is made here: the witnessing sets are the given terms , and the single witness for is their union.
Proof of (vi). By A Property Holding Almost Everywhere (i), is -null. Let , so and . If , then , which is false; so and . Thus , and is a set, being a subclass of the set (Subclasses of Sets Are Sets, the Union and Power Set of a Set Exist Uniquely, Binary Unions of Sets Are Sets, and the Universal Class Is Proper (i)). By (ii), is -null, that is, holds -a.e. by A Property Holding Almost Everywhere (i).
Proof of (vii). By A Property Holding Almost Everywhere (i), and are -null, and they are subsets of ; so is -null by (iii). If , then and , so or , that is, or . Hence , and is a set, being a subclass of the set (Subclasses of Sets Are Sets, the Union and Power Set of a Set Exist Uniquely, Binary Unions of Sets Are Sets, and the Universal Class Is Proper (i)); so is -null by (ii), and holds -a.e. by A Property Holding Almost Everywhere (i).
