[from 'Set Theory' by Kenneth Kunen, in 4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 4. Axioms for Sets / b. Axiom of Extensionality I ]

Full Idea

Axiom of Extensionality: ∀x ∀y (∀z (z ∈ x ↔ z ∈ y) → x = y). That is, a set is determined by its members. If every z in one set is also in the other set, then the two sets are the same.

Gist of Idea

Extensionality: ∀x ∀y (∀z (z ∈ x ↔ z ∈ y) → x = y)
