Theorem List for Intuitionistic Logic Explorer - 1501-1600   *Has distinct variable group(s)

Type	Label	Description
Statement
Theorem	hbequid 1501	Bound-variable hypothesis builder for x = x. This theorem tells us that any variable, including x, is effectively not free in x = x, even though x is technically free according to the traditional definition of free variable. The proof uses only ax-8 1492 and ax-i12 1495 on top of (the FOL analogue of) modal logic KT. This shows that this can be proved without ax-i9 1518, even though Theorem equid 1689 cannot. A shorter proof using ax-i9 1518 is obtainable from equid 1689 and hbth 1451. (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2011.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 23-Mar-2014.)
|- ( x = x -> A. y x = x )
Theorem	axi12 1502	Proof that ax-i12 1495 follows from ax-bndl 1497. So that we can track which theorems rely on ax-bndl 1497, proofs should reference ax12or 1496 rather than this theorem. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 17-Aug-2018.) (New usage is discouraged). (Proof modification is discouraged.)

1.3.3  Axiom ax-17 - first use of the $d distinct variable statement

1.3.4  Introduce Axiom of Existence
Axiom	ax-i9 1518	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 1498 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 1684, which has additional remarks. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 31-Jan-2015.)
|- E. x x = y
Theorem	ax-9 1519	Derive ax-9 1519 from ax-i9 1518, the modified version for intuitionistic logic. Although ax-9 1519 does hold intuistionistically, in intuitionistic logic it is weaker than ax-i9 1518. (Contributed by NM, 3-Feb-2015.)

Theorem	stdpc5 1572	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 1690. 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.)

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 1586 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.
