Theorem dfexdc 1501

Description: Defining ∃𝑥𝜑 given decidability. It is common in classical logic to define ∃𝑥𝜑 as ¬ ∀𝑥¬ 𝜑 but in intuitionistic logic without a decidability condition, that is only an implication not an equivalence, as seen at exalim 1502. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 15-Mar-2018.)
