1.3.3  Axiom ax-17 - first use of the $d distinct variable statement
 
Axiomax-17 1506* Axiom to quantify a variable over a formula in which it does not occur. Axiom C5 in [Megill] p. 444 (p. 11 of the preprint). Also appears as Axiom B6 (p. 75) of system S2 of [Tarski] p. 77 and Axiom C5-1 of [Monk2] p. 113.

1.3.4  Introduce Axiom of Existence
 
Axiomax-i9 1510 Axiom of Existence. One of the equality and substitution axioms of predicate calculus with equality. One thing this axiom tells us is that at least one thing exists (although ax-4 1487 and possibly others also tell us that, i.e. they are not valid in the empty domain of a "free logic"). In this form (not requiring that  x and  y be distinct) it was used in an axiom system of Tarski (see Axiom B7' in footnote 1 of [KalishMontague] p. 81.) Another name for this theorem is a9e 1674, which has additional remarks. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 31-Jan-2015.)
 |- 
 E. x  x  =  y
 
Theoremax-9 1511 Derive ax-9 1511 from ax-i9 1510, the modified version for intuitionistic logic. Although ax-9 1511 does hold intuistionistically, in intuitionistic logic it is weaker than ax-i9 1510. (Contributed by NM, 3-Feb-2015.)
 |-

Theoremstdpc5 1563 An axiom scheme of standard predicate calculus that emulates Axiom 5 of [Mendelson] p. 69. The hypothesis  F/ x ph can be thought of as emulating " x is not free in  ph." With this definition, the meaning of "not free" is less restrictive than the usual textbook definition; for example  x would not (for us) be free in  x  =  x by nfequid 1678. This theorem scheme can be proved as a metatheorem of Mendelson's axiom system, even though it is slightly stronger than his Axiom 5. (Contributed by NM, 22-Sep-1993.)

Theoremexlimiv 1577* Inference from Theorem 19.23 of [Margaris] p. 90.

This inference, along with our many variants is used to implement a metatheorem called "Rule C" that is given in many logic textbooks. See, for example, Rule C in [Mendelson] p. 81, Rule C in [Margaris] p. 40, or Rule C in Hirst and Hirst's A Primer for Logic and Proof p. 59 (PDF p. 65) at http://www.mathsci.appstate.edu/~jlh/primer/hirst.pdf.

In informal proofs, the statement "Let C be an element such that..." almost always means an implicit application of Rule C.

In essence, Rule C states that if we can prove that some element  x exists satisfying a wff, i.e.  E. x ph ( x ) where  ph ( x ) has  x free, then we can use  ph ( C  ) as a hypothesis for the proof where C is a new (ficticious) constant not appearing previously in the proof, nor in any axioms used, nor in the theorem to be proved. The purpose of Rule C is to get rid of the existential quantifier.

We cannot do this in Metamath directly. Instead, we use the original  ph (containing  x) as an antecedent for the main part of the proof. We eventually arrive at  ( ph  ->  ps ) where  ps is the theorem to be proved and does not contain  x. Then we apply exlimiv 1577 to arrive at  ( E. x ph  ->  ps ). Finally, we separately prove  E. x ph and detach it with modus ponens ax-mp 5 to arrive at the final theorem  ps. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (Revised by NM, 25-Jul-2012.)
