Theorem ac2 10383

Description: Axiom of Choice equivalent. By using restricted quantifiers, we can express the Axiom of Choice with a single explicit conjunction. (If you want to figure it out, the rewritten equivalent ac3 10384 is easier to understand.) Note: aceq0 10040 shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac 10381. (New usage is discouraged.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
ac2	⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ∀𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 ∃!𝑣 ∈ 𝑧 ∃𝑢 ∈ 𝑦 (𝑧 ∈ 𝑢 ∧ 𝑣 ∈ 𝑢)

Distinct variable group:   𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑤,𝑣,𝑢

Proof of Theorem ac2

Dummy variable 𝑡 is distinct from all other variables.
