Type	Label	Description
Statement
Theorem	equequ2 1701	An equivalence law for equality. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑧 = 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 = 𝑦))
Theorem	ax11i 1702	Inference that has ax-11 1494 (without ∀𝑦) as its conclusion and does not require ax-10 1493, ax-11 1494, or ax12 1500 for its proof. The hypotheses may be eliminable without one or more of these axioms in special cases. Proof similar to Lemma 16 of [Tarski] p. 70. (Contributed by NM, 20-May-2008.)

1.3.9  Axioms ax-10 and ax-11
Theorem	ax10o 1703	Show that ax-10o 1704 can be derived from ax-10 1493. An open problem is whether this theorem can be derived from ax-10 1493 and the others when ax-11 1494 is replaced with ax-11o 1811. See Theorem ax10 1705 for the rederivation of ax-10 1493 from ax10o 1703. Normally, ax10o 1703 should be used rather than ax-10o 1704, except by theorems specifically studying the latter's properties. (Contributed by NM, 16-May-2008.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑))
Axiom	ax-10o 1704	Axiom ax-10o 1704 ("o" for "old") was the original version of ax-10 1493, before it was discovered (in May 2008) that the shorter ax-10 1493 could replace it. It appears as Axiom scheme C11' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). This axiom is redundant, as shown by Theorem ax10o 1703. Normally, ax10o 1703 should be used rather than ax-10o 1704, except by theorems specifically studying the latter's properties. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑))
Theorem	ax10 1705	Rederivation of ax-10 1493 from original version ax-10o 1704. See Theorem ax10o 1703 for the derivation of ax-10o 1704 from ax-10 1493. This theorem should not be referenced in any proof. Instead, use ax-10 1493 above so that uses of ax-10 1493 can be more easily identified. (Contributed by NM, 16-May-2008.)

1.3.10  Substitution (without distinct variables)
Syntax	wsb 1750	Extend wff definition to include proper substitution (read "the wff that results when 𝑦 is properly substituted for 𝑥 in wff 𝜑"). (Contributed by NM, 24-Jan-2006.)
wff [𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑
Definition	df-sb 1751	Define proper substitution. Remark 9.1 in [Megill] p. 447 (p. 15 of the preprint). For our notation, we use [𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 to mean "the wff that results when 𝑦 is properly substituted for 𝑥 in the wff 𝜑". We can also use [𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 in place of the "free for" side condition used in traditional predicate calculus; see, for example, stdpc4 1763. Our notation was introduced in Haskell B. Curry's Foundations of Mathematical Logic (1977), p. 316 and is frequently used in textbooks of lambda calculus and combinatory logic. This notation improves the common but ambiguous notation, "𝜑(𝑦) is the wff that results when 𝑦 is properly substituted for 𝑥 in 𝜑(𝑥)". For example, if the original 𝜑(𝑥) is 𝑥 = 𝑦, then 𝜑(𝑦) is 𝑦 = 𝑦, from which we obtain that 𝜑(𝑥) is 𝑥 = 𝑥. So what exactly does 𝜑(𝑥) mean? Curry's notation solves this problem. In most books, proper substitution has a somewhat complicated recursive definition with multiple cases based on the occurrences of free and bound variables in the wff. Instead, we use a single formula that is exactly equivalent and gives us a direct definition. We later prove that our definition has the properties we expect of proper substitution (see Theorems sbequ 1828, sbcom2 1975 and sbid2v 1984). Note that our definition is valid even when 𝑥 and 𝑦 are replaced with the same variable, as sbid 1762 shows. We achieve this by having 𝑥 free in the first conjunct and bound in the second. We can also achieve this by using a dummy variable, as the alternate definition dfsb7 1979 shows (which some logicians may prefer because it doesn't mix free and bound variables). Another alternate definition which uses a dummy variable is dfsb7a 1982. When 𝑥 and 𝑦 are distinct, we can express proper substitution with the simpler expressions of sb5 1875 and sb6 1874. In classical logic, another possible definition is (𝑥 = 𝑦 ∧ 𝜑) ∨ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑) but we do not have an intuitionistic proof that this is equivalent. There are no restrictions on any of the variables, including what variables may occur in wff 𝜑. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
