Axiom ax-c4 36825

Description: Axiom of Quantified Implication. This axiom moves a universal quantifier from outside to inside an implication, quantifying 𝜓. Notice that 𝑥 must not be a free variable in the antecedent of the quantified implication, and we express this by binding 𝜑 to "protect" the axiom from a 𝜑 containing a free 𝑥. Axiom scheme C4' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is a special case of Lemma 5 of [Monk2] p. 108 and Axiom 5 of [Mendelson] p. 69.

This axiom is obsolete and should no longer be used. It is proved above as Theorem axc4 2319. (Contributed by NM, 3-Jan-1993.) (New usage is discouraged.)
