Defines a family of sets indexed by a class as a function on that class, together with the union and intersection of a family and the product of a family indexed by a set.
In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation, let be a class.
A family indexed by is a function whose domain is . For , denotes the value of at , which is a set, as every value of a function is by Functions, Values of a Function, and Functions from One Class to Another §value.
The three classes below are formed by class abstraction with the parameters and ; written out by Relations, Domain, Range, Inverse and Composition §relation, Functions, Values of a Function, and Functions from One Class to Another §function and Relations, Domain, Range, Inverse and Composition §domain, their formulas quantify over set variables only, the values , the ordered pair and, in the product, the values being defined set symbols and the domain there a class term, so they are predicative as Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation §comprehension requires.
The union of the family is the class
If has at least one element, the intersection of the family is the class
If is a set, the product of the family is the class of all sets such that is a function whose domain is and whose value satisfies for every ; that is,
