Theorem elwspths2onw 30163

Description: A simple path of length 2 between two vertices (in a simple pseudograph) as length 3 string. This theorem avoids the Axiom of Choice for its proof, at the cost of requiring a simple graph; the more general version is elwspths2on 30162. (Contributed by Ender Ting, 29-Jan-2026.)
