Axiom ax-15 1109

Description: Axiom of Quantifier Introduction. One of the equality and substitution axioms for a non-logical predicate in our predicate calculus with equality. Axiom scheme C14' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is redundant if we include ax-17 1190; see theorem ax15 1339. Alternately, ax-17 1190 becomes unnecessary in principle with this axiom, but we lose the more powerful metalogic afforded by ax-17 1190. We retain ax-15 1109 here to provide completeness for systems with the simpler metalogic that results from omitting ax-17 1190, which might be easier to study for some theoretical purposes.

Assertion

Ref	Expression
ax-15	|- (-. A.z z = x -> (-. A.z z = y -> (x e. y -> A.z x e. y)))
