Theorem a9e 1631

Description: At least one individual exists. This is not a theorem of free logic, which is sound in empty domains. For such a logic, we would add this theorem as an axiom of set theory (Axiom 0 of [Kunen] p. 10). In the system consisting of ax-5 1381 through ax-14 1450 and ax-17 1464, all axioms other than ax-9 1469 are believed to be theorems of free logic, although the system without ax-9 1469 is probably not complete in free logic.
