Integer Addition is Well-Defined

Theorem
Let $\left({\N, +}\right)$ be the semigroup of natural numbers under addition.

Let $\left({\N \times \N, \oplus}\right)$ be the (external) direct product of $\left({\N, +}\right)$ with itself, where $\oplus$ is the operation on $\N \times \N$ induced by $+$ on $\N$.

Let $\boxtimes$ be the cross-relation defined on $\N \times \N$ by:
 * $\left({x_1, y_1}\right) \boxtimes \left({x_2, y_2}\right) \iff x_1 + y_2 = x_2 + y_1$

Let $\left[\!\left[{x, y}\right]\!\right]$ denote the equivalence class of $\left({x, y}\right)$ under $\boxtimes$.

The operation $\oplus$ on these equivalence classes is well-defined, in the sense that:

Proof
Let $\left[\!\left[{a_1, b_1}\right]\!\right], \left[\!\left[{a_2, b_2}\right]\!\right], \left[\!\left[{c_1, d_1}\right]\!\right], \left[\!\left[{c_2, d_2}\right]\!\right]$ be $\boxtimes$-equivalence classes such that $\left[\!\left[{a_1, b_1}\right]\!\right] = \left[\!\left[{a_2, b_2}\right]\!\right]$ and $\left[\!\left[{c_1, d_1}\right]\!\right] = \left[\!\left[{c_2, d_2}\right]\!\right]$.

Then:

Then we have:
