In the proof that $\mathcal R \left[{X}\right] \subseteq \bigcup_{x \in X} \mathcal R \left({x}\right)$, I found the usage of $x$ and $y$ in the following line a little bit confusing:
- $\left({x, y}\right) \in \bigcup_{x \in X} \left\{{ \left({x, y}\right) \in \mathcal R }\right\}$
On the LHS of the $\in$, $y$ is an arbitrarily chosen value in $\mathcal R \left[{X}\right]$ and $x$ is the value we chose that relates to $y$ under $\mathcal R$. However, on the RHS of the $\in$, the letter $x$ is reused for iterating through all the values in $X$. Would you mind if I changed the $x$ to a $s$ and the $y$ to a $t$ on the LHS? The first few lines would read:
\(\ds \implies \ \ \) | \(\ds \exists s \in X: \left({s, t}\right)\) | \(\in\) | \(\ds \mathcal R\) | Definition of $\mathcal R \left[{X}\right]$ | ||||||||||
\(\ds \implies \ \ \) | \(\ds \left({s, t}\right)\) | \(\in\) | \(\ds \bigcup_{x \mathop \in X} \left\{ {\left({x, y}\right) \in \mathcal R}\right\}\) | Definition of Set Union | ||||||||||
\(\ds \implies \ \ \) | \(\ds t\) | \(\in\) | \(\ds \bigcup_{x \mathop \in X} \left\{ {y \in T: \left({x, y}\right) \in \mathcal R}\right\}\) | Definition of Relation |

- No, because what you have written does not seem to make any sense. --prime mover (talk) 13:51, 1 December 2017 (EST)
- Haha ok, I'll leave it as is.--Cjhanrahan (talk) 04:01, 2 December 2017 (EST)
