let x, y be object ; for R being Relation st R is symmetric & [x,y] in R holds
[y,x] in R
let R be Relation; ( R is symmetric & [x,y] in R implies [y,x] in R )
assume A1:
R is symmetric
; ( not [x,y] in R or [y,x] in R )
assume A2:
[x,y] in R
; [y,x] in R
then
( x in field R & y in field R )
by RELAT_1:15;
hence
[y,x] in R
by A1, RELAT_2:def 11, RELAT_2:def 3, A2; verum
