Values of a Map between Classes, and Distances in a Metric Space

For a map F from a class A to a class B and a in A, the value F(a) is a set, (a, F(a)) lies in F, and F(a) lies in B; in particular the distance d(x, y) of two points of a metric space is a real number.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let AA and BB be arbitrary classes introduced in this item, not necessarily sets, let FF be a class that is a map F:Aβ†’BF:A\to B in the sense of that definition, which applies to classes, and let a∈Aa\in A; F(a)F(a) is the value of FF at aa, which is defined because dom⁑F=A\operatorname{dom}F=A. Unlike Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map u↦t(u)u\mapsto t(u) as a Defined Set Symbol (ii), no hypothesis that AA or BB is a set is made.

F(a)F(a) is a set.

(a,F(a))∈F(a,F(a))\in F, where (a,F(a))(a,F(a)) is the ordered pair.

F(a)∈BF(a)\in B.

Let (M,d)(M,d) be a metric space, so that, by Metric Space, MM is a set and d:MΓ—Mβ†’Rd:M\times M\to\mathbb{R} is a map from the Cartesian product MΓ—MM\times M to the real numbers, and let x,y∈Mx,y\in M. Then d(x,y)∈Rd(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}, with d(x,y)d(x,y) as in Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation (v).
