Theorem dvelim 2010

Description: This theorem can be used to eliminate a distinct variable restriction on x and z and replace it with the "distinctor" -. A. x x = y as an antecedent. ph normally has z free and can be read ph ( z ), and ps substitutes y for z and can be read ph ( y ). We don't require that x and y be distinct: if they aren't, the distinctor will become false (in multiple-element domains of discourse) and "protect" the consequent.

To obtain a closed-theorem form of this inference, prefix the hypotheses with A. x A. z, conjoin them, and apply dvelimdf 2009.

Other variants of this theorem are dvelimf 2008 (with no distinct variable restrictions) and dvelimALT 2003 (that avoids ax-10 1498). (Contributed by NM, 23-Nov-1994.)

Hypotheses

Ref	Expression
dvelim.1	|- ( ph -> A. x ph )
dvelim.2	|- ( z = y -> ( ph <-> ps ) )

Assertion

Ref	Expression
dvelim	|- ( -. A. x x = y -> ( ps -> A. x ps ) )

Distinct variable group:   ps, z

Allowed substitution hints:   ph( x, y, z)   ps( x, y)
