Theorem alnex 1548
Description: Theorem 19.7 of [Margaris] p. 89. To read this intuitionistically, think of it as "if 𝜑 can be refuted for all 𝑥, then it is not possible to find an 𝑥 for which 𝜑 holds" (and likewise for the converse). Comparing this with dfexdc 1550 illustrates that statements which look similar (to someone used to classical logic) can be different intuitionistically due to different placement of negations.
