1.4.7  Axiom scheme ax-7 (Equality)
Axiom	ax-7 2006	Axiom of Equality. One of the equality and substitution axioms of predicate calculus with equality. It states that equality is a right-Euclidean binary relation (this is similar, but not identical, to being transitive, which is proved as equtr 2019). This axiom scheme is a sub-scheme of Axiom Scheme B8 of system S2 of [Tarski], p. 75, whose general form cannot be represented with our notation. Also appears as Axiom C7 of [Monk2] p. 105 and Axiom Scheme C8' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). The equality symbol was invented in 1557 by Robert Recorde. He chose a pair of parallel lines of the same length because "noe .2. thynges, can be moare equalle". We prove in ax7 2014 that this axiom can be recovered from its weakened version ax7v 2007 where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are assumed to be disjoint variables. In particular, the only theorem referencing ax-7 2006 should be ax7v 2007. See the comment of ax7v 2007 for more details on these matters. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.) Use ax7 2014 instead. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧))
Theorem	ax7v 2007*	Weakened version of ax-7 2006, with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦. This should be the only proof referencing ax-7 2006, and it should be referenced only by its two weakened versions ax7v1 2008 and ax7v2 2009, from which ax-7 2006 is then rederived as ax7 2014, which shows that either ax7v 2007 or the conjunction of ax7v1 2008 and ax7v2 2009 is sufficient. In ax7v 2007, it is still allowed to substitute the same variable for 𝑥 and 𝑧, or the same variable for 𝑦 and 𝑧. Therefore, ax7v 2007 "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 2012 and equid 2010 respectively. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.) Use ax7 2014 instead. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧))
Theorem	ax7v1 2008*	First of two weakened versions of ax7v 2007, with an extra disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑧, see comments there. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧))
Theorem	ax7v2 2009*	Second of two weakened versions of ax7v 2007, with an extra disjoint variable condition on 𝑦, 𝑧, see comments there. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧))
Theorem	equid 2010	Identity law for equality. Lemma 2 of [KalishMontague] p. 85. See also Lemma 6 of [Tarski] p. 68. (Contributed by NM, 1-Apr-2005.) (Revised by NM, 9-Apr-2017.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 22-Aug-2020.)
⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑥
Theorem	nfequid 2011	Bound-variable hypothesis builder for 𝑥 = 𝑥. This theorem tells us that any variable, including 𝑥, is effectively not free in 𝑥 = 𝑥, even though 𝑥 is technically free according to the traditional definition of free variable. (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2011.) (Revised by NM, 21-Aug-2017.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑦 𝑥 = 𝑥
Theorem	equcomiv 2012*	Weaker form of equcomi 2015 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦. This is an intermediate step and equcomi 2015 is fully recovered later. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑦 = 𝑥)
Theorem	ax6evr 2013*	A commuted form of ax6ev 1968. (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑥
Theorem	ax7 2014	Proof of ax-7 2006 from ax7v1 2008 and ax7v2 2009 (and earlier axioms), proving sufficiency of the conjunction of the latter two weakened versions of ax7v 2007, which is itself a weakened version of ax-7 2006. Note that the weakened version of ax-7 2006 obtained by adding a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑧 (resp. on 𝑦, 𝑧) does not permit, together with the other axioms, to prove reflexivity (resp. symmetry). (Contributed by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑧))
Theorem	equcomi 2015	Commutative law for equality. Equality is a symmetric relation. Lemma 3 of [KalishMontague] p. 85. See also Lemma 7 of [Tarski] p. 69. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-1993.) (Revised by NM, 9-Apr-2017.)

⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑧 → (𝑦 = 𝑧 → 𝑦 = 𝑥))
Theorem	equeucl 2022	Equality is a left-Euclidean binary relation. (Right-Euclideanness is stated in ax-7 2006.) Curried (exported) form of equtr2 2025. (Contributed by BJ, 11-Apr-2021.)

⊢ ((𝑥 = 𝑧 ∧ 𝑦 = 𝑧) → 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	stdpc6 2026	One of the two equality axioms of standard predicate calculus, called reflexivity of equality. (The other one is stdpc7 2249.) Axiom 6 of [Mendelson] p. 95. Mendelson doesn't say why he prepended the redundant quantifier, but it was probably to be compatible with free logic (which is valid in the empty domain). (Contributed by NM, 16-Feb-2005.)
⊢ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑥
Theorem	equvinv 2027*	A variable introduction law for equality. Lemma 15 of [Monk2] p. 109. (Contributed by NM, 9-Jan-1993.) Remove dependencies on ax-10 2140, ax-13 2375.

Theorem	spfw 2031*	Weak version of sp 2182. Uses only Tarski's FOL axiom schemes. Lemma 9 of [KalishMontague] p. 87. This may be the best we can do with minimal distinct variable conditions. (Contributed by NM, 19-Apr-2017.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 10-Oct-2021.)

Theorem	spw 2032*	Weak version of the specialization scheme sp 2182. Lemma 9 of [KalishMontague] p. 87. While it appears that sp 2182 in its general form does not follow from Tarski's FOL axiom schemes, from this theorem we can prove any instance of sp 2182 having mutually distinct setvar variables and no wff metavariables (see ax12wdemo 2134 for an example of the procedure to eliminate the hypothesis). Other approximations of sp 2182 are spfw 2031 (minimal distinct variable requirements), spnfw 1978 (when 𝑥 is not free in ¬ 𝜑), spvw 1979 (when 𝑥 does not appear in 𝜑), sptruw 1805 (when 𝜑 is true), spfalw 1996 (when 𝜑 is false), and spvv 1995 (where 𝜑 is changed into 𝜓). (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-2017.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 27-Feb-2018.)

Theorem	spaev 2051*	A special instance of sp 2182 applied to an equality with a disjoint variable condition. Unlike the more general sp 2182, we can prove this without ax-12 2176. Instance of aeveq 2055. The antecedent ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 with distinct 𝑥 and 𝑦 is a characteristic of a degenerate universe, in which just one object exists. Actually more than one object may still exist, but if so, we give up on equality as a discriminating term. Separating this degenerate case from a richer universe, where inequality is possible, is a common proof idea. The name of this theorem follows a convention, where the condition ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 is denoted by 'aev', a shorthand for 'all equal, with a distinct variable condition'. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 14-Mar-2021.)

Theorem	cbvaev 2052*	Change bound variable in an equality with a disjoint variable condition. Instance of aev 2056. (Contributed by NM, 22-Jul-2015.) (Revised by BJ, 18-Jun-2019.)

(Revised by Wolf Lammen, 14-Mar-2021.) Extract from proof of a former lemma for axc11n 2429 and add DV condition to reduce axiom usage. (Revised by BJ, 29-Mar-2021.)

⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → ∀𝑧 𝑡 = 𝑢)
Theorem	aev2 2057*	A version of aev 2056 with two universal quantifiers in the consequent. One can prove similar statements with arbitrary numbers of universal quantifiers in the consequent (the series begins with aeveq 2055, aev 2056, aev2 2057). Using aev 2056 and alrimiv 1926, one can actually prove (with no more axioms) any scheme of the form (∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 → PHI) , DV (𝑥, 𝑦) where PHI involves only setvar variables and the connectors →, ↔, ∧, ∨, ⊤, =, ∀, ∃, ∃*, ∃!, Ⅎ. An example is given by aevdemo 30375. This list cannot be extended to ¬ or ⊥ since the scheme ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 is consistent with ax-mp 5, ax-gen 1794, ax-1 6-- ax-13 2375 (as the one-element universe shows), so for instance (∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 → ⊥), DV (𝑥, 𝑦) is not provable from these axioms alone (indeed, dtru 5409 uses non-logical axioms as well).

wff [𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑
Definition	df-sb 2064*	Define proper substitution. For our notation, we use [𝑡 / 𝑥]𝜑 to mean "the wff that results from the proper substitution of 𝑡 for 𝑥 in the wff 𝜑". That is, 𝑡 properly replaces 𝑥. For example, [𝑡 / 𝑥]𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 is the same as 𝑧 ∈ 𝑡 (when 𝑥 and 𝑧 are distinct), as shown in elsb2 2124. Our notation was introduced in Haskell B. Curry's Foundations of Mathematical Logic (1977), p. 316 and is frequently used in textbooks of lambda calculus and combinatory logic. This notation improves the common but ambiguous notation, "𝜑(𝑡) is the wff that results when 𝑡 is properly substituted for 𝑥 in 𝜑(𝑥)". For example, if the original 𝜑(𝑥) is 𝑥 = 𝑡, then 𝜑(𝑡) is 𝑡 = 𝑡, from which we obtain that 𝜑(𝑥) is 𝑥 = 𝑥. So what exactly does 𝜑(𝑥) mean? Curry's notation solves this problem. A very similar notation, namely (𝑦 ∣ 𝑥)𝜑, was introduced in Bourbaki's Set Theory (Chapter 1, Description of Formal Mathematic, 1953). In most books, proper substitution has a somewhat complicated recursive definition with multiple cases based on the occurrences of free and bound variables in the wff. Instead, we use a single formula that is exactly equivalent and gives us a direct definition. We later prove that our definition has the properties we expect of proper substitution (see Theorems sbequ 2082, sbcom2 2172 and sbid2v 2512). Note that our definition is valid even when 𝑥 and 𝑡 are replaced with the same variable, as sbid 2254 shows. We achieve this by applying twice Tarski's definition sb6 2084 which is valid for disjoint variables, and introducing a dummy variable 𝑦 which isolates 𝑥 from 𝑡, as in dfsb7 2278 with respect to sb5 2275. We can also achieve this by having 𝑥 free in the first conjunct and bound in the second, as the alternate definition dfsb1 2484 shows. Another version that mixes free and bound variables is dfsb3 2497. When 𝑥 and 𝑡 are distinct, we can express proper substitution with the simpler expressions of sb5 2275 and sb6 2084. Note that the occurrences of a given variable in the definiens are either all bound (𝑥, 𝑦) or all free (𝑡). Also note that the definiens uses only primitive symbols. This double level definition will make several proofs using it appear as doubled. Alternately, one could often first prove as a lemma the same theorem with a disjoint variable condition on the substitute and the substituted variables, and then prove the original theorem by applying this lemma twice in a row. (Contributed by NM, 10-May-1993.) Revised from the original definition dfsb1 2484. (Revised by BJ, 22-Dec-2020.)
