set U = union_of R,S;
set cU = the carrier of (union_of R,S);
set IU = the InternalRel of (union_of R,S);
set cR = the carrier of R;
set cS = the carrier of S;
for x being set st x in the carrier of (union_of R,S) holds
not [x,x] in the InternalRel of (union_of R,S)
proof
let x be set ; :: thesis: ( x in the carrier of (union_of R,S) implies not [x,x] in the InternalRel of (union_of R,S) )
assume x in the carrier of (union_of R,S) ; :: thesis: not [x,x] in the InternalRel of (union_of R,S)
assume [x,x] in the InternalRel of (union_of R,S) ; :: thesis: contradiction
then A1: [x,x] in the InternalRel of R \/ the InternalRel of S by NECKLA_2:def 2;
per cases ( [x,x] in the InternalRel of R or [x,x] in the InternalRel of S ) by A1, XBOOLE_0:def 3;
end;
end;
hence union_of R,S is irreflexive by NECKLACE:def 6; :: thesis: verum
