Theorem List for Intuitionistic Logic Explorer - 1701-1800   *Has distinct variable group(s)
TypeLabelDescription
Statement
 
Theoremequid 1701 Identity law for equality (reflexivity). Lemma 6 of [Tarski] p. 68. This is often an axiom of equality in textbook systems, but we don't need it as an axiom since it can be proved from our other axioms.

This proof is similar to Tarski's and makes use of a dummy variable 𝑦. It also works in intuitionistic logic, unlike some other possible ways of proving this theorem. (Contributed by NM, 1-Apr-2005.)

𝑥 = 𝑥
 
Theoremnfequid 1702 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. (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2011.) (Revised by NM, 21-Aug-2017.)
𝑦 𝑥 = 𝑥
 
Theoremstdpc6 1703 One of the two equality axioms of standard predicate calculus, called reflexivity of equality. (The other one is stdpc7 1770.) Axiom 6 of [Mendelson] p. 95. Mendelson doesn't say why he prepended the redundant quantifier, but it was probably to be compatible with free logic (which is valid in the empty domain). (Contributed by NM, 16-Feb-2005.)
𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑥
 
Theoremequcomi 1704 Commutative law for equality. Lemma 7 of [Tarski] p. 69. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
(𝑥 = 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥)
 
Theoremax6evr 1705* A commuted form of a9ev 1697. The naming reflects how axioms were numbered in the Metamath Proof Explorer as of 2020 (a numbering which we eventually plan to adopt here too, but until this happens everywhere only some theorems will have it). (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑥
 
Theoremequcom 1706 Commutative law for equality. (Contributed by NM, 20-Aug-1993.)

(𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧𝑦 = 𝑧))
 
Theoremequequ2 1713 An equivalence law for equality. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
(𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑧 = 𝑥𝑧 = 𝑦))
 
Theoremax11i 1714 Inference that has ax-11 1506 (without 𝑦) as its conclusion and does not require ax-10 1505, ax-11 1506, or ax12 1512 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.)
(𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑𝜓))    &   (𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓)       (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦𝜑)))
 
1.3.9  Axioms ax-10 and ax-11
 
Theoremax10o 1715 Show that ax-10o 1716 can be derived from ax-10 1505. An open problem is whether this theorem can be derived from ax-10 1505 and the others when ax-11 1506 is replaced with ax-11o 1823. See Theorem ax10 1717 for the rederivation of ax-10 1505 from ax10o 1715.

Normally, ax10o 1715 should be used rather than ax-10o 1716, except by theorems specifically studying the latter's properties. (Contributed by NM, 16-May-2008.)

(∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑))
 
Axiomax-10o 1716 Axiom ax-10o 1716 ("o" for "old") was the original version of ax-10 1505, before it was discovered (in May 2008) that the shorter ax-10 1505 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 1715.

Normally, ax10o 1715 should be used rather than ax-10o 1716, except by theorems specifically studying the latter's properties. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (New usage is discouraged.)

(∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑))
 
Theoremax10 1717 Rederivation of ax-10 1505 from original version ax-10o 1716. See Theorem ax10o 1715 for the derivation of ax-10o 1716 from ax-10 1505.

This theorem should not be referenced in any proof. Instead, use ax-10 1505 above so that uses of ax-10 1505 can be more easily identified. (Contributed by NM, 16-May-2008.) (New usage is discouraged.)

1.3.10  Substitution (without distinct variables)
 
Syntaxwsb 1762 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
 
Definitiondf-sb 1763 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 1775.

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 1840, sbcom2 1987 and sbid2v 1996).

Note that our definition is valid even when 𝑥 and 𝑦 are replaced with the same variable, as sbid 1774 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 1991 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 1994.

When 𝑥 and 𝑦 are distinct, we can express proper substitution with the simpler expressions of sb5 1887 and sb6 1886.

In classical logic, another possible definition is (𝑥 = 𝑦𝜑) ∨ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦𝜑) 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.)

([𝑥 / 𝑥]𝜑𝜑)
 
Theoremstdpc4 1775 The specialization axiom of standard predicate calculus. It states that if a statement 𝜑 holds for all 𝑥, then it also holds for the specific case of 𝑦 (properly) substituted for 𝑥. Translated to traditional notation, it can be read: "𝑥𝜑(𝑥) → 𝜑(𝑦), provided that 𝑦 is free for 𝑥 in 𝜑(𝑥)". Axiom 4 of [Mendelson] p. 69. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
