Being an open subset of a metric space is a predicative condition on the space, its metric and the subset, and the open subsets of a fixed 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 addition , the element and the order of are parameters. Metric spaces are as in Metric Space (vi), subsets as in Subclasses and Subsets (i), and open subsets as in Open Subset of a Metric Space (i). In the first clause , and .
Open subsets. The condition " is a metric space, , and is open in " on is predicative.
The class of open subsets. For every metric space there is a class such that, for every class , if and only if and is open in .
