proof
let W be Subset of S; :: thesis: ( W in rng f implies ( W is closed_under_lines & W is strong ) )
assume W in rng f ; :: thesis: ( W is closed_under_lines & W is strong )
then W in {X} by FINSEQ_1:38;
hence ( W is closed_under_lines & W is strong ) by A1, TARSKI:def 1; :: thesis: verum

let i be Element of NAT ; :: thesis: ( 1 <= i & i < len f implies 2 c= card ((f . i) /\ (f . (i + 1))) )
assume that
A2: 1 <= i and
A3: i < len f ; :: thesis: 2 c= card ((f . i) /\ (f . (i + 1)))
thus 2 c= card ((f . i) /\ (f . (i + 1))) by A2, A3, FINSEQ_1:40; :: thesis: verum
