let X be set ; :: thesis: ( X is empty implies X is c=-linear )
assume A1: X is empty ; :: thesis: X is c=-linear
let x be set ; :: according to ORDINAL1:def 8 :: thesis: for b1 being set holds
( not x in X or not b1 in X or x,b1 are_c=-comparable )

thus for b1 being set holds
( not x in X or not b1 in X or x,b1 are_c=-comparable ) by A1; :: thesis: verum
