Theorem exneq 5373

Description: Given any set (the "𝑦 " in the statement), there exists a set not equal to it.

The same statement without disjoint variable condition is false, since we do not have ∃𝑥¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥. This theorem is proved directly from set theory axioms (no class definitions) and does not depend on ax-ext 2708, ax-sep 5238, or ax-pow 5303 nor auxiliary logical axiom schemes ax-10 2136 to ax-13 2371. See dtruALT 5326 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and dtruALT2 5308 for a proof using ax-pow 5303 instead of ax-pr 5367. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2371. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2107. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2170. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5367 instead of ax-pow 5303. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5374. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
