Theorem	2sb8e 2535*	An equivalent expression for double existence. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2377. For a version requiring more disjoint variables, but fewer axioms, see 2sb8ef 2359. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 2-Nov-2019.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	dfmoeu 2536*	An elementary proof of moeu 2583 in disguise, connecting an expression characterizing uniqueness (df-mo 2540) to that of existential uniqueness (eu6 2574).

wff ∃*𝑥𝜑
Theorem	mojust 2539*	Soundness justification theorem for df-mo 2540 (note that 𝑦 and 𝑧 need not be disjoint, although the weaker theorem with that disjoint variable condition added would be enough to justify the soundness of the definition). (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010.) Added this theorem by adapting the proof of eujust 2571. (Revised by BJ, 30-Sep-2022.)
⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑦) ↔ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑧))
Definition	df-mo 2540*	Define the at-most-one quantifier. The expression ∃*𝑥𝜑 is read "there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑".

By the way, swapping 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝜑, 𝜓 leads to an expression for ∃*𝑦𝜓, which is equivalent to ∃*𝑥𝜑 (is a proof line), so the right hand side is a rare instance of an expression where swapping the quantifiers can be done without ax-11 2157.

1.6.2  Unique existence: the unique existential quantifier
Syntax	weu 2568	Extend wff definition to include the unique existential quantifier ("there exists a unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑").
wff ∃!𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-eu 2569	Define the existential uniqueness quantifier. This expresses unique existence, or existential uniqueness, which is the conjunction of existence (df-ex 1780) and uniqueness (df-mo 2540). The expression ∃!𝑥𝜑 is read "there exists exactly one 𝑥 such that 𝜑 " or "there exists a unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑". This is also called the "uniqueness quantifier" but that expression is also used for the at-most-one quantifier df-mo 2540, therefore we avoid that ambiguous name. Definition 10.1 of [BellMachover] p. 97; also Definition *14.02 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 175. Other possible definitions are given by eu1 2610, eu2 2609, eu3v 2570, and eu6 2574. As for double unique existence, beware that the expression ∃!𝑥∃!𝑦𝜑 means "there exists a unique 𝑥 such that there exists a unique 𝑦 such that 𝜑 " which is a weaker property than "there exists exactly one 𝑥 and one 𝑦 such that 𝜑 " (see 2eu4 2655). (Contributed by NM, 12-Aug-1993.) Make this the definition (which used to be eu6 2574, while this definition was then proved as dfeu 2595). (Revised by BJ, 30-Sep-2022.)

Theorem	eujust 2571*	Soundness justification theorem for eu6 2574 when this was the definition of the unique existential quantifier (note that 𝑦 and 𝑧 need not be disjoint, although the weaker theorem with that disjoint variable condition added would be enough to justify the soundness of the definition). See eujustALT 2572 for a proof that provides an example of how it can be achieved through the use of dvelim 2456. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 9-Jul-2011.)

Theorem	nfeu1ALT 2589	Alternate proof of nfeu1 2588. This illustrates the systematic way of proving nonfreeness in a defined expression: consider the definiens as a tree whose nodes are its subformulas, and prove by tree-induction nonfreeness of each node, starting from the leaves (generally using nfv 1914 or nf* theorems for previously defined expressions) and up to the root. Here, the definiens is a conjunction of two previously defined expressions, which automatically yields the present proof. (Contributed by BJ, 2-Oct-2022.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
