Description: 1+1=2 for cardinal number addition, derived from pm54.43 as promised. Theorem *110.643 ofPrincipia Mathematica, vol. II, p. 86, which adds the remark, "The above proposition is occasionally useful." Whitehead and Russell define cardinal addition on collections of all sets equinumerous to 1 and 2 (which for us are proper classes unless we restrict them as in karden ), but after applying definitions, our theorem is equivalent. Because we use a disjoint union for cardinal addition (as explained in the comment at the top of this section), we use ~ instead of =. See dju1p1e2ALT for a shorter proof that doesn't use pm54.43 .
