Theorem dvelim 2481

Description: This theorem can be used to eliminate a distinct variable restriction on 𝑥 and 𝑧 and replace it with the "distinctor" ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 as an antecedent. 𝜑 normally has 𝑧 free and can be read 𝜑(𝑧), and 𝜓 substitutes 𝑦 for 𝑧 and can be read 𝜑(𝑦). We do not require that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct: if they are not, the distinctor will become false (in multiple-element domains of discourse) and "protect" the consequent.

To obtain a closed-theorem form of this inference, prefix the hypotheses with ∀𝑥∀𝑧, conjoin them, and apply dvelimdf 2479.

Other variants of this theorem are dvelimh 2480 (with no distinct variable restrictions) and dvelimhw 2375 (that avoids ax-13 2402). Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2402. Check out dvelimhw 2375 for a version requiring fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 23-Nov-1994.) (New usage is discouraged.)
