Theorem 4exdistr 1966

Description: Distribution of existential quantifiers in a quadruple conjunction. (Contributed by NM, 9-Mar-1995.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 20-Jan-2018.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
4exdistr	⊢ (∃𝑥∃𝑦∃𝑧∃𝑤((𝜑 ∧ 𝜓) ∧ (𝜒 ∧ 𝜃)) ↔ ∃𝑥(𝜑 ∧ ∃𝑦(𝜓 ∧ ∃𝑧(𝜒 ∧ ∃𝑤𝜃))))

Distinct variable groups:   𝜑,𝑦   𝜑,𝑧   𝜑,𝑤   𝜓,𝑧   𝜓,𝑤   𝜒,𝑤

Allowed substitution hints:   𝜑(𝑥)   𝜓(𝑥,𝑦)   𝜒(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)   𝜃(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑤)
