let K, M, N be Cardinal; ( ( not M in N & not M c= N ) or K = 0 or ( exp (K,M) c= exp (K,N) & exp (M,K) c= exp (N,K) ) )
assume that
A1:
( M in N or M c= N )
and
A2:
K <> 0
; ( exp (K,M) c= exp (K,N) & exp (M,K) c= exp (N,K) )
thus
exp (K,M) c= exp (K,N)
by A1, A2, Th91; exp (M,K) c= exp (N,K)
( M = 0 implies exp (M,K) = 0 )
by A2;
hence
exp (M,K) c= exp (N,K)
by A1, Th91; verum
