Theorem exsb 2388
Description: An equivalent expression for existence. One direction (exsbim 2035) needs fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 2-Feb-2005.) Avoid ax-13 2401. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 16-Oct-2022.)
Assertion
Ref Expression
exsb (∃𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑))
Distinct variable groups:   𝑥,𝑦   𝜑,𝑦
Allowed substitution hint:   𝜑(𝑥)
