We have the assertion: copab $a class { < x , y > | ph } $.

My question is how does one know that < x , y > refers to: cop $a class < A 
, B > $.

Couldn't the "<" and ">" be just notational constants to syntactically form 
the class expression being introduced?

In particular, just like the introduction of new wffs, shouldn't we have a 
detailed syntax breakdown of this "axiom" ?

Something like the following:

-- Detailed syntax breakdown --
wph ph
vx setvar x
cv class x
vy setvar y
cv class y
cop class < x , y >
class using constants { | } and wff and a particular type of class 
depending on x and y

Of course, that last line is the fuzzy one (whereas detailed syntax 
breakdown for wffs doesn't have that fuzziness)
