then consider x, y being Point of T such that
A1: ( x in S & y in S ) and
A2: x <> y by SUBSET_1:45;
consider W, V being Subset of T such that
A3: ( W is open & V is open ) and
A4: ( x in W & y in V ) and
A5: W misses V by A2, PRE_TOPC:def 10;
set S1 = S \ W;
set S2 = S \ V;
A6: ( S \ W <> S & S \ V <> S ) by A4, A1, XBOOLE_0:def 5;
S is closed by Def3;
then A7: ( S \ W is closed & S \ V is closed ) by A3, Th20;
A8: W /\ V = {} by A5;
(S \ W) \/ (S \ V) = S \ (W /\ V) by XBOOLE_1:54
.= S by A8 ;
hence contradiction by A7, A6, Def3; :: thesis: verum
