Theorem

For each set $T$ there exists exactly one empty mapping $e: \O \to T$ whose domain is the empty set.


Proof

By definition a mapping from $\O$ to $T$ is a subset of the cartesian product $\O \times T$:

$e: \O \to T \subseteq \O \times T$

From Empty Mapping is Mapping, we have that the empty mapping from $\O$ to $T$ exists.

From Cartesian Product is Empty iff Factor is Empty it follows that the empty mapping equals the empty set:

$\O \times T = \O$

The result follows by Empty Set is Unique.

$\blacksquare$
