Theorem ax7v 2041
Description: Weakened version of ax-7 2040, with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦. This should be the only proof referencing ax-7 2040, and it should be referenced only by its two weakened versions ax7v1 2042 and ax7v2 2043, from which ax-7 2040 is then rederived as ax7 2048, which shows that either ax7v 2041 or the conjunction of ax7v1 2042 and ax7v2 2043 is sufficient.

In ax7v 2041, it is still allowed to substitute the same variable for 𝑥 and 𝑧, or the same variable for 𝑦 and 𝑧. Therefore, ax7v 2041 "bundles" (a term coined by Raph Levien) its "principal instance" (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧)) with 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 distinct, and its "degenerate instances" (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑥 → 𝑦 = 𝑥)) and (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑦 = 𝑦)) with 𝑥, 𝑦 distinct. These degenerate instances are for instance used in the proofs of equcomiv 2046 and equid 2044 respectively. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.) Use ax7 2048 instead. (New usage is discouraged.)
