  PlanetMath: axiom schema of separation
The Axiom Schema of Separation is an axiom schema of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
Another consequence of the Axiom Schema of Separation is that a subclass of any set is a set.
This is version 15 of axiom schema of separation, born on 2003-06-24, modified 2003-06-25.

  Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The axioms are the result of work by Thoralf Skolem in 1922, based on earlier work by Adolf Fraenkel in the same year, which was based on the axiom system put forth by Ernst Zermelo in 1908 (Zermelo set theory).
The axiom system is written in first-order logic; it has an infinite number of axioms because an axiom schema is used.
Axiom of union: For any set x, there is a set y such that the elements of y are precisely the elements of the elements of x.

 Axiom schema of specification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer science that use it, the axiom schema of specification, or axiom schema of separation, or axiom schema of restricted comprehension, is a schema of axioms in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
The axiom schema of specification is generally considered uncontroversial as far as it goes, and it or an equivalent appears in just about any alternative axiomatisation of set theory.
Most of the other Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (but not the axiom of extensionality or the axiom of regularity) then became necessary to serve as an additional replacement for the axiom schema of comprehension; each of these axioms states that a certain set exists, and defines that set by giving a predicate for its members to satisfy.

Axiom is an object database, or alternatively, an object-relational mapper.
Axiom provides a full interface to the database, which strongly suggests that you do not write any SQL of your own.
Writing your own SQL is still possible, however, and Axiom does have several methods which return fragments of generated schema if you wish to use them in your own queries.

Formally, an axiom schema is a set (usually infinite) of well formed formulae, each of which is taken to be an axiom.

Thus the essence of the axiom schema is: In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer science that use it, the axiom of extensionality, or axiom of extension, is one of the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
Then given a subset A of S, applying the axiom schema of replacement to F constructs the image f(A) of the subset A under the function f; it is just F'(A).
The axiom was independently discovered by Thoralf Skolem later in the same year, and it is in fact Skolem's final version of the axiom list that we use today -- but he usually gets no credit since each individual axiom was developed earlier by either Zermelo or Fraenkel.

Axiom of pairing: If x, y are sets, then there exists a set containing x and y as its only elements, which we denote by {x,y} or {x} ∪ {y}.
Axiom of infinity: There exists a set x such that {} is in x and whenever y is in x, so is y ∪ {y}.
metamathematicians believe that these axioms are consistent (in the sense that no contradiction can be derived from them), this has not been proved.

 New Axioms for Set Theory
The theory of sets is canonical and the axiom schema appears to be simply a canonical schema stating that the universe is endless and that an extension would be nonrigid, and providing powerful reflection principles for set theory.
Also, the axiom schema with measurable replaced by inaccessible can be approximated by allowing greater expressiveness in the formulas in the replacement axiom schema and be viewed as the natural limit of such approximations.

 Axiom   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In mathematics, an axiom is not necessarily a self-evident truth but rather, a formal logical expression used in a deduction to yield further results.
The word axiom comes from the Greek word αξιωμα (axioma), which means that which is deemed worthy or fit or that which is considered self-evident.
The axioms are referred to as "4 + 1" because for nearly two millennia the fifth (parallel) postulate ("through a point outside a line there is exactly one parallel") was suspected of being derivable from the first four.

Indeed, if one formalises the language of predicate logic to allow the use of derived functional predicates in axiom schemas, then the axiom schema may be rewritten as:
However, replacement is in fact not needed here, because f(A) is a subset of T, so we could instead construct this image using the axiom schema of specification as the set {y in T : for some x in A, y = f(x)}.
Nevertheless, replacement isn't controversial in the sense that some people find its consequences to be necessarily false (a sense in which the axiom of choice, for example, is controversial); it's just that they find it unnecessary.

The meaning of such a class axiom is that the two class descriptions involved have the same class extension (i.e., both class extensions contain exactly the same set of individuals).
axioms are allowed and should be interpreted as a conjunction: these restrict the domain of the property to those individuals that belong to the intersection of the class descriptions.
axiom asserts that the values of this property must belong to the class extension of the class description or to data values in the specified data range.

 Set Theory. Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms. Russell's Paradox. Infinity. By K.Podnieks
The axioms C1, C1' and C2[F] (for all formulas F that do not contain x) and the axiom of choice define a formal set theory C which corresponds almost 100% to Cantor's intuitive set theory (of the "pre-paradox" period of 1873-94).
An alternative, extremely convenient form of the separation schema can be obtained by using the notion of classes: the formula F defines a class A, hence, the axiom C21[F] says that the intersection A^x (of the class A and the set x) is a set: A^x=z.
The set theory adopting the axiom of extensionality (C1), the axiom C1', the separation axiom schema (C21), the pairing axiom (C22), the union axiom (C23), the power-set axiom (C24), the replacement axiom schema (C25), the axiom of infinity (C26) and the axiom of regularity (C3), is called Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, and is denoted by ZF.
