then consider x, y being Point of T such that

A1: x <> y by SUBSET_1:45;
consider W, V being Subset of T such that
A2: ( W is open & V is open ) and
A3: ( x in W & y in V ) and
A4: W misses V by A1, PRE_TOPC:def 10;
set S1 = S \ W;
set S2 = S \ V;
A5: ( S \ W <> S & S \ V <> S ) by A3, B1, XBOOLE_0:def 5;
S is closed by Def4;
then A6: ( S \ W is closed & S \ V is closed ) by A2, Th29;
A7: W /\ V = {} by A4, XBOOLE_0:def 7;
(S \ W) \/ (S \ V) = S \ (W /\ V) by XBOOLE_1:54
.= S by A7 ;
hence contradiction by A6, A5, Def4; :: thesis: verum
