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

Every subclass of a set is a set, so the intersection and difference of a set with a class are sets; each set has a unique union set and a unique power set; the union of two sets is a set; and the class of all sets is a proper class, by Russell's argument.

Statement

Let xx and yy be sets and YY a class.

Every subclass of xx is a set. In particular the intersection x∩Yx\cap Y and the difference x∖Yx\setminus Y are sets.

There is exactly one set zz such that, for every set uu, u∈zu\in z if and only if there is a set vv with u∈vu\in v and v∈xv\in x.

There is exactly one set zz such that, for every set uu, u∈zu\in z if and only if uu is a subset of xx.

The union x∪yx\cup y is a set.

The universal class VV is a proper class.
