Completeness of a metric space, with the space and the metric as variables, is expressed by a predicative formula at any variable positions; for a fixed set, the metrics making it a complete metric space form a class.
In the setting of Routine Facts, Continued: Typed Arithmetic, Maps and Predicativity, let be a metatheoretic number, let be distinct set variables, and let , not necessarily distinct. A condition on is predicative if it is expressed by a predicative formula, with in place of the set variables listed in Conditions Expressed by a Predicative Formula, and Guards (i) and no displayed variables; , , the order , the strict order , the addition and the element of are parameters. Metric spaces and metrics are as in Metric Space (vi) and Metric Space (i), and complete metric spaces as in Complete Metric Space (i). In the first clause and .
Complete metric spaces. The condition ", and is complete" on , where is " is a map from the Cartesian product to , and is a metric space", is predicative.
The class of complete metrics. For every set there is a class such that, for every class , if and only if is a map from to that is a metric on and is complete.
