reconsider A1 = the carrier of X1, A2 = the carrier of X2 as non empty Subset of X by TSEP_1:1;
assume ( X1 is closed or X2 is closed ) ; :: thesis: X1 union X2 is V144()
then A1: ( A1 is closed or A2 is closed ) by TSEP_1:11;
( A1 is T_0 & A2 is T_0 ) by Th13;
then ( the carrier of (X1 union X2) = A1 \/ A2 & A1 \/ A2 is T_0 ) by A1, Th8, TSEP_1:def 2;
hence X1 union X2 is V144() ; :: thesis: verum
