Theorem	sbcom4 2525*	Commutativity law for substitution. This theorem was incorrectly used as our previous version of pm11.07 2526 but may still be useful. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 17-Jun-2011.) (Proof shortened by Jim Kingdon, 22-Jan-2018.)
⊢ ([𝑤 / 𝑥][𝑦 / 𝑧]𝜑 ↔ [𝑦 / 𝑥][𝑤 / 𝑧]𝜑)
Theorem	pm11.07 2526	Axiom *11.07 in [WhiteheadRussell] p. 159. The original reads: *11.07 "Whatever possible argument 𝑥 may be, 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑦) is true whatever possible argument 𝑦 may be" implies the corresponding statement with 𝑥 and 𝑦 interchanged except in "𝜑(𝑥, 𝑦)". Under our formalism this appears to correspond to idi 2 and not to sbcom4 2525 as earlier thought. See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/metamath/iS0fOvSemC8/M1zTH8wxCAAJ. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Sep-2018.) (New usage is discouraged.)

⊢ Ⅎ𝑧𝜑    &   ⊢ Ⅎ𝑤𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑧∀𝑤((𝑧 = 𝑥 ∧ 𝑤 = 𝑦) → [𝑧 / 𝑥][𝑤 / 𝑦]𝜑))
Theorem	sb7f 2533*	This version of dfsb7 2535 does not require that 𝜑 and 𝑧 be distinct. This permits it to be used as a definition for substitution in a formalization that omits the logically redundant axiom ax-5 1953 i.e. that doesn't have the concept of a variable not occurring in a wff. (df-sb 2012 is also suitable, but its mixing of free and bound variables is distasteful to some logicians.) (Contributed by NM, 26-Jul-2006.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 6-Oct-2016.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑧𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑧(𝑧 = 𝑦 ∧ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 ∧ 𝜑)))
Theorem	sb7h 2534*	This version of dfsb7 2535 does not require that 𝜑 and 𝑧 be distinct. This permits it to be used as a definition for substitution in a formalization that omits the logically redundant axiom ax-5 1953 i.e. that doesn't have the concept of a variable not occurring in a wff. (df-sb 2012 is also suitable, but its mixing of free and bound variables is distasteful to some logicians.) (Contributed by NM, 26-Jul-2006.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-May-2011.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑧𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑧(𝑧 = 𝑦 ∧ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 ∧ 𝜑)))
Theorem	dfsb7 2535*	An alternate definition of proper substitution df-sb 2012. By introducing a dummy variable 𝑧 in the definiens, we are able to eliminate any distinct variable restrictions among the variables 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝜑 of the definiendum. No distinct variable conflicts arise because 𝑧 effectively insulates 𝑥 from 𝑦. To achieve this, we use a chain of two substitutions in the form of sb5 2251, first 𝑧 for 𝑥 then 𝑦 for 𝑧. Compare Definition 2.1'' of [Quine] p. 17, which is obtained from this theorem by applying df-clab 2764. Theorem sb7h 2534 provides a version where 𝜑 and 𝑧 don't have to be distinct. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.)

Theorem	sb10f 2536*	Hao Wang's identity axiom P6 in Irving Copi, Symbolic Logic (5th ed., 1979), p. 328. In traditional predicate calculus, this is a sole axiom for identity from which the usual ones can be derived. (Contributed by NM, 9-May-2005.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 6-Oct-2016.)

Theorem	sbco4 2546*	Two ways of exchanging two variables. Both sides of the biconditional exchange 𝑥 and 𝑦, either via two temporary variables 𝑢 and 𝑣, or a single temporary 𝑤. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 25-Sep-2018.)

Syntax	wmo 2549	Extend wff definition to include the at-most-one quantifier ("there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑").
wff ∃*𝑥𝜑
Theorem	mojust 2550*	Soundness justification theorem for df-mo 2551 (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 2589. (Revised by BJ, 30-Sep-2022.)
⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑦) ↔ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑧))
Definition	df-mo 2551*	Define the at-most-one quantifier. The expression ∃*𝑥𝜑 is read "there exists at most one 𝑥 such that 𝜑". This is also called the "uniqueness quantifier" but that expression is also used for the unique existential quantifier df-eu 2587, therefore we avoid that ambiguous name. Notation of [BellMachover] p. 460, whose definition we show as mo3 2580. For other possible definitions see moeu 2603 and mo4 2585. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 27-May-2019.)

1.6.2  Unique existence: the unique existential quantifier
Syntax	weu 2586	Extend wff definition to include the unique existential quantifier ("there exists a unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑").
wff ∃!𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-eu 2587	Define the existential uniqueness quantifier. This expresses unique existence, or existential uniqueness, which is the conjunction of existence (df-ex 1824) and uniqueness (df-mo 2551). 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 2551, 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 2642, eu2 2641, eu3v 2588, and eu6 2592. 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 2685). (Contributed by NM, 12-Aug-1993.) Make this the definition (which used to be eu6 2592, while this definition was then proved as dfeu 2614). (Revised by BJ, 30-Sep-2022.)
