Theorem ax6e 2413
Description: At least one individual exists. This is not a theorem of free logic, which is sound in empty domains. For such a logic, we would add this theorem as an axiom of set theory (Axiom 0 of [Kunen] p. 10). In the system consisting of ax-4 1828 through ax-9 2151, all axioms other than ax-6 1986 are believed to be theorems of free logic, although the system without ax-6 1986 is not complete in free logic.

Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2402. It is preferred to use ax6ev 1988 when it is sufficient. (Contributed by NM, 14-May-1993.) Shortened after ax13lem1 2404 became available. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 8-Sep-2018.) (New usage is discouraged.)
