Material set theory

Elementhood Relation Class Axiom

The Elementhood Relation Class Axiom is a possible axiom of material set theory with classes: #m/def/set/nbg

(โˆƒโ„ญ๐”ฉ๐”ฐโก๐‘‹)(โˆ€๐‘ข)(โˆ€๐”โก๐‘ฃ)[(๐‘ข,๐‘ฃ)โˆˆ๐‘‹โŸบ๐‘ขโˆˆ๐‘ฃ]

which is to say, there exists a Class, unique by extensionality, representing elementhood as a Relation class.1 It is necessary to fix a construction of the ordered pair within the theory.
