| Description: An equivalence between an implication with a universally quantified consequent and an implication with an existentially quantified antecedent. An interesting case is when the same formula is substituted for both 𝜑 and 𝜓, since then both implications express a type of nonfreeness. See also eximal 1782. (Contributed by BJ, 12-May-2019.) |
