Definition

Let $V$ be a basic universe.

Let $\RR \subseteq V \times V$ be a relation in $V$.


The field of $\RR$ is defined as:

$\Field \RR := \set {x \in V: \exists y \in V: \tuple {x, y} \in \RR} \cup \set {y \in V: \exists x \in V: \tuple {x, y} \in \RR}$

That is, it is the union of the domain of $\RR$ with its image.
