1.5.3  Axiom scheme ax-12 (Substitution)
Axiom	ax-12 2206	Axiom of Substitution. One of the 5 equality axioms of predicate calculus. The final consequent ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑) is a way of expressing "𝑦 substituted for 𝑥 in wff 𝜑 " (cf. sb6 2112). It is based on Lemma 16 of [Tarski] p. 70 and Axiom C8 of [Monk2] p. 105, from which it can be proved by cases. The original version of this axiom was ax-c15 39461 and was replaced with this shorter ax-12 2206 in Jan. 2007. The old axiom is proved from this one as Theorem axc15 2447. Conversely, this axiom is proved from ax-c15 39461 as Theorem ax12 2448. Juha Arpiainen proved the metalogical independence of this axiom (in the form of the older axiom ax-c15 39461) from the others on 19-Jan-2006. See item 9a at https://us.metamath.org/award2003.html 39461. See ax12v 2207 and ax12v2 2208 for other equivalents of this axiom that (unlike this axiom) have distinct variable restrictions. This axiom scheme is logically redundant (see ax12w 2161) but is used as an auxiliary axiom scheme to achieve scheme completeness. (Contributed by NM, 22-Jan-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑦𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	ax12v 2207*	This is essentially Axiom ax-12 2206 weakened by additional restrictions on variables. Besides axc11r 2393, this theorem should be the only one referencing ax-12 2206 directly. Both restrictions on variables have their own value. If for a moment we assume 𝑥 could be set to 𝑦, then, after elimination of the tautology 𝑦 = 𝑦, immediately we have 𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑 for all 𝜑 and 𝑦, that is ax-5 1924, a degenerate result. The second restriction is not necessary, but a simplification that makes the following interpretation easier to see. Since 𝜑 textually at most depends on 𝑥, we can look at it at some given 'fixed' 𝑦. This theorem now states that the truth value of 𝜑 will stay constant, as long as we 'vary 𝑥 around 𝑦' only such that 𝑥 = 𝑦 still holds. Or in other words, equality is the finest grained logical expression. If you cannot differ two sets by =, you won't find a whatever sophisticated expression that does. One might wonder how the described variation of 𝑥 is possible at all. Note that Metamath is a text processor that easily sees a difference between text chunks {𝑥 ∣ ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥} and {𝑦 ∣ ¬ 𝑦 = 𝑦}. Our usual interpretation is to abstract from textual variations of the same set, but we are free to interpret Metamath's formalism differently, and in fact let 𝑥 run through all textual representations of sets. Had we allowed 𝜑 to depend also on 𝑦, this idea is both harder to see, and it is less clear that this extra freedom introduces effects not covered by other axioms. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 8-Aug-2020.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	ax12v2 2208*	It is possible to remove any restriction on 𝜑 in ax12v 2207. Same as Axiom C8 of [Monk2] p. 105. Use ax12v 2207 instead when sufficient. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) Remove dependencies on ax-10 2169 and ax-13 2397. (Revised by Jim Kingdon, 15-Dec-2017.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 8-Dec-2019.)

Theorem	ax12ev2 2209*	Version of ax12v2 2208 rewritten to use an existential quantifier. One direction of sbalex 2271 without the universal quantifier, avoiding ax-10 2169. (Contributed by SN, 14-Aug-2025.)

Theorem	19.8a 2210	If a wff is true, it is true for at least one instance. Special case of Theorem 19.8 of [Margaris] p. 89. See 19.8v 1997 for a version with a disjoint variable condition requiring fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 9-Jan-1993.) Allow a shortening of sp 2212. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 13-Jan-2018.)

⊢ (𝜑 → 𝜓)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓)
Theorem	sp 2212	Specialization. A universally quantified wff implies the wff without a quantifier. Axiom scheme B5 of [Tarski] p. 67 (under his system S2, defined in the last paragraph on p. 77). Also appears as Axiom scheme C5' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). This corresponds to the axiom (T) of modal logic. For the axiom of specialization presented in many logic textbooks, see Theorem stdpc4 2092. This theorem shows that our obsolete axiom ax-c5 39455 can be derived from the others. The proof uses ideas from the proof of Lemma 21 of [Monk2] p. 114. It appears that this scheme cannot be derived directly from Tarski's axioms without auxiliary axiom scheme ax-12 2206. It is thought the best we can do using only Tarski's axioms is spw 2048. Also see spvw 1995 where 𝑥 and 𝜑 are disjoint, using fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 21-May-2008.)

Theorem	stdpc5 2237	An axiom scheme of standard predicate calculus that emulates Axiom 5 of [Mendelson] p. 69. The hypothesis Ⅎ𝑥𝜑 can be thought of as emulating "𝑥 is not free in 𝜑". With this definition, the meaning of "not free" is less restrictive than the usual textbook definition; for example 𝑥 would not (for us) be free in 𝑥 = 𝑥 by nfequid 2027. This theorem scheme can be proved as a metatheorem of Mendelson's axiom system, even though it is slightly stronger than his Axiom 5. See stdpc5v 1952 for a version requiring fewer axioms.

Theorem	sbalex 2271*	Equivalence of two ways to express proper substitution of a setvar for another setvar disjoint from it in a formula. This proof of their equivalence does not use df-sb 2085. That both sides of the biconditional express proper substitution is proved by sb5 2304 and sb6 2112. The implication "to the left" is equs4v 2014 and does not require ax-10 2169 nor ax-12 2206. It also holds without disjoint variable condition if we allow more axioms (see equs4 2441). Theorem 6.2 of [Quine] p. 40. Theorem equs5 2485 replaces the disjoint variable condition with a distinctor antecedent. Theorem equs45f 2484 replaces the disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑡 with the nonfreeness hypothesis of 𝑡 in 𝜑. (Contributed by NM, 14-Apr-2008.) Revised to use equsexv 2297 in place of equsex 2443 in order to remove dependency on ax-13 2397. (Revised by BJ, 20-Dec-2020.) Revise to remove dependency on df-sb 2085. (Revised by BJ, 21-Sep-2024.)
