Main Body


1: Structured Description 1


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(J\): \(\in \{\text{ the possibly uncountable index sets }\}\)
\(\{S_j \in \{\text{ the sets }\} \vert j \in J\}\):
\(S_{l, 1}\): \(\subseteq S_l\)
\(S_{l, 2}\): \(\subseteq S_l\)
\(\{S'_j \in \{\text{ the sets }\} \vert j \in J \land (\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S'_j = S_j); S'_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2})\}\):
\(\{S''_j \in \{\text{ the sets }\} \vert j \in J \land (\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S''_j = S_j); S''_l = S_{l, 1})\}\):
\(\{S'''_j \in \{\text{ the sets }\} \vert j \in J \land (\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S'''_j = S_j); S'''_l = S_{l, 2})\}\):
\(\times_{j \in J} S'_j\):
\(\times_{j \in J} S''_j\):
\(\times_{j \in J} S'''_j\):
//

Statements:
\(\times_{j \in J} S'_j = \times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\)
//


2: Proof 1


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(\times_{j \in J} S'_j \subseteq \times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\); Step 2: see that \(\times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j \subseteq \times_{j \in J} S'_j\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

Let \(f \in \times_{j \in J} S'_j\) be any.

For each \(j \in J\), \(f (j) \in S'_j\).

For each \(j \in J \setminus \{l\}\), \(f (j) \in S'_j = S''_j\).

\(f (l) \in S'_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2} \subseteq S_{l, 1} = S''_l\).

So, \(f \in \times_{j \in J} S''_j\).

\(f (l) \in S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2}\), which means that \(f (l) \notin S_{l, 2} = S'''_l\), which means that \(f \notin \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\).

So, \(f \in \times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\).

Step 2:

Let \(f \in \times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\) be any.

\(f \in \times_{j \in J} S''_j\) and \(f \notin \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\).

For each \(j \in J\), \(f (j) \in S''_j\).

For each \(j \in J \setminus \{l\}\), \(f (j) \in S''_j = S'''_j = S'_j\), so, \(f \notin \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\) means that \(f (l) \notin S'''_l\), so, \(f (l) \in S''_l \setminus S'''_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2} = S'_l\).

So, \(f \in \times_{j \in J} S'_j\).

Step 3:

So, \(\times_{j \in J} S'_j = \times_{j \in J} S''_j \setminus \times_{j \in J} S'''_j\).


3: Structured Description 2


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(\{S_1, ..., S_n\}\): \(S_j \in \{\text{ the sets }\}\)
\(S_{l, 1}\): \(\subseteq S_l\)
\(S_{l, 2}\): \(\subseteq S_l\)
\(\{S'_1, ..., S'_n\}\): \(\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S'_j = S_j); S'_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2}\)
\(\{S''_1, ..., S''_n\}\): \(\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S''_j = S_j); S''_l = S_{l, 1}\)
\(\{S'''_1, ..., S'''_n\}\): \(\forall j \in J \setminus \{l\} (S'''_j = S_j); S'''_l = S_{l, 2}\)
\(S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n\):
\(S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n\):
\(S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n\):
//

Statements:
\(S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n = (S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n)\)
//


4: Proof 2


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n \subseteq (S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n)\); Step 2: see that \((S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n) \subseteq S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

Let \(p = (p^1, ..., p^n) \in S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n\) be any.

For each \(j \in \{1, ..., n\}\), \(p^j \in S'_j\).

For each \(j \in \{1, ..., n\} \setminus \{l\}\), \(p^j \in S'_j = S''_j\).

\(p^l \in S'_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2} \subseteq S_{l, 1} = S''_l\).

So, \(p \in S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n\).

\(p^l \in S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2}\), which means that \(p^l \notin S_{l, 2} = S'''_l\), which means that \(p \notin S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n\).

So, \(p \in (S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n)\).

Step 2:

Let \(p = (p^1, ..., p^n) \in (S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n)\) be any.

\(p \in S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n\) and \(p \notin S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n\).

For each \(j \in \{1, ..., n\}\), \(p^j \in S''_j\).

For each \(j \in \{1, ..., n\} \setminus \{l\}\), \(p^j \in S''_j = S'''_j = S'_j\), so, \(p \notin S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n\) means that \(p^l \notin S'''_l\), so, \(p^l \in S''_l \setminus S'''_l = S_{l, 1} \setminus S_{l, 2} = S'_l\).

So, \(f \in S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n\).

Step 3:

So, \(S'_1 \times ... \times S'_n = (S''_1 \times ... \times S''_n) \setminus (S'''_1 \times ... \times S'''_n)\).
