Theorem	dfsb7 2020*	An alternate definition of proper substitution df-sb 1787. By introducing a dummy variable 𝑧 in the definiens, we are able to eliminate any distinct variable restrictions among the variables 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝜑 of the definiendum. No distinct variable conflicts arise because 𝑧 effectively insulates 𝑥 from 𝑦. To achieve this, we use a chain of two substitutions in the form of sb5 1912, first 𝑧 for 𝑥 then 𝑦 for 𝑧. Compare Definition 2.1'' of [Quine] p. 17. Theorem sb7f 2021 provides a version where 𝜑 and 𝑧 don't have to be distinct. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.)
⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑧(𝑧 = 𝑦 ∧ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 ∧ 𝜑)))
Theorem	sb7f 2021*	This version of dfsb7 2020 does not require that 𝜑 and 𝑧 be disjoint. This permits it to be used as a definition for substitution in a formalization that omits the logically redundant axiom ax-17 1550, i.e., that does not have the concept of a variable not occurring in a formula. (Contributed by NM, 26-Jul-2006.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-May-2011.)

Theorem	sb7af 2022*	An alternate definition of proper substitution df-sb 1787. Similar to dfsb7a 2023 but does not require that 𝜑 and 𝑧 be distinct. Similar to sb7f 2021 in that it involves a dummy variable 𝑧, but expressed in terms of ∀ rather than ∃. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 5-Feb-2018.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑧𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑧(𝑧 = 𝑦 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	dfsb7a 2023*	An alternate definition of proper substitution df-sb 1787. Similar to dfsb7 2020 in that it involves a dummy variable 𝑧, but expressed in terms of ∀ rather than ∃. For a version which only requires Ⅎ𝑧𝜑 rather than 𝑧 and 𝜑 being distinct, see sb7af 2022. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 5-Feb-2018.)
⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑧(𝑧 = 𝑦 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	sb10f 2024*	Hao Wang's identity axiom P6 in Irving Copi, Symbolic Logic (5th ed., 1979), p. 328. In traditional predicate calculus, this is a sole axiom for identity from which the usual ones can be derived. (Contributed by NM, 9-May-2005.)

Theorem	sbal1yz 2030*	Lemma for proving sbal1 2031. Same as sbal1 2031 but with an additional disjoint variable condition on 𝑦, 𝑧. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 23-Feb-2018.)
⊢ (¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑧 → ([𝑧 / 𝑦]∀𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑥[𝑧 / 𝑦]𝜑))

Theorem	dvelimALT 2039*	Version of dvelim 2046 that doesn't use ax-10 1529. Because it has different distinct variable constraints than dvelim 2046 and is used in important proofs, it would be better if it had a name which does not end in ALT (ideally more close to set.mm naming). (Contributed by NM, 17-May-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝑧 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ (¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	dvelimfv 2040*	Like dvelimf 2044 but with a distinct variable constraint on 𝑥 and 𝑧. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 6-Mar-2018.)

Theorem	hbsb4 2041	A variable not free remains so after substitution with a distinct variable. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (Proof rewritten by Jim Kingdon, 23-Mar-2018.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑧𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ (¬ ∀𝑧 𝑧 = 𝑦 → ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 → ∀𝑧[𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑))
Theorem	hbsb4t 2042	A variable not free remains so after substitution with a distinct variable (closed form of hbsb4 2041). (Contributed by NM, 7-Apr-2004.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-May-2011.)

Theorem	nfsb4t 2043	A variable not free remains so after substitution with a distinct variable (closed form of hbsb4 2041). (Contributed by NM, 7-Apr-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 4-Oct-2016.) (Proof rewritten by Jim Kingdon, 9-May-2018.)
⊢ (∀𝑥Ⅎ𝑧𝜑 → (¬ ∀𝑧 𝑧 = 𝑦 → Ⅎ𝑧[𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑))
Theorem	dvelimf 2044	Version of dvelim 2046 without any variable restrictions. (Contributed by NM, 1-Oct-2002.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜓 → ∀𝑧𝜓)    &   ⊢ (𝑧 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ (¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	dvelimdf 2045	Deduction form of dvelimf 2044. This version may be useful if we want to avoid ax-17 1550 and use ax-16 1838 instead. (Contributed by NM, 7-Apr-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 6-Oct-2016.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 11-May-2018.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜑    &   ⊢ Ⅎ𝑧𝜑    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → Ⅎ𝑥𝜓)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → Ⅎ𝑧𝜒)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝑧 = 𝑦 → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒)))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → Ⅎ𝑥𝜒))
Theorem	dvelim 2046*	This theorem can be used to eliminate a distinct variable restriction on 𝑥 and 𝑧 and replace it with the "distinctor" ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 as an antecedent. 𝜑 normally has 𝑧 free and can be read 𝜑(𝑧), and 𝜓 substitutes 𝑦 for 𝑧 and can be read 𝜑(𝑦). We don't require that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct: if they aren't, the distinctor will become false (in multiple-element domains of discourse) and "protect" the consequent. To obtain a closed-theorem form of this inference, prefix the hypotheses with ∀𝑥∀𝑧, conjoin them, and apply dvelimdf 2045. Other variants of this theorem are dvelimf 2044 (with no distinct variable restrictions) and dvelimALT 2039 (that avoids ax-10 1529). (Contributed by NM, 23-Nov-1994.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝑧 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ (¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	dvelimor 2047*	Disjunctive distinct variable constraint elimination. A user of this theorem starts with a formula 𝜑 (containing 𝑧) and a distinct variable constraint between 𝑥 and 𝑧. The theorem makes it possible to replace the distinct variable constraint with the disjunct ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 (𝜓 is just a version of 𝜑 with 𝑦 substituted for 𝑧). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 11-May-2018.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜑    &   ⊢ (𝑧 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 ∨ Ⅎ𝑥𝜓)
Theorem	dveeq1 2048*	Quantifier introduction when one pair of variables is distinct. (Contributed by NM, 2-Jan-2002.) (Proof rewritten by Jim Kingdon, 19-Feb-2018.)

Theorem	eujust 2057*	A soundness justification theorem for df-eu 2058, showing that the definition is equivalent to itself with its dummy variable renamed. Note that 𝑦 and 𝑧 needn't be distinct variables. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 9-Jul-2011.)
⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑦) ↔ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑧))
Definition	df-eu 2058*	Define existential uniqueness, i.e., "there exists exactly one 𝑥 such that 𝜑". Definition 10.1 of [BellMachover] p. 97; also Definition *14.02 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 175. Other possible definitions are given by eu1 2080, eu2 2099, eu3 2101, and eu5 2102 (which in some cases we show with a hypothesis 𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑 in place of a distinct variable condition on 𝑦 and 𝜑). Double uniqueness is tricky: ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦𝜑 does not mean "exactly one 𝑥 and one 𝑦 " (see 2eu4 2148). (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
⊢ (∃!𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝑥 = 𝑦))
Definition	df-mo 2059	Define "there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑". Here we define it in terms of existential uniqueness. Notation of [BellMachover] p. 460, whose definition we show as mo3 2109. For another possible definition see mo4 2116. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
