Statement
Theorem	bj-cbvalvv 36901*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent of that variable, over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1912 and the existence axiom extru 1977. See bj-cbvaw 36903 for a strengthening. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∀𝑦𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvexvv 36902*	Existentially quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent of that variable, over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1912 and the existence axiom extru 1977. See bj-cbvew 36904 for a strengthening. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∃𝑦𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvaw 36903*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvalvv 36901. If ⊥ is substituted for 𝜑, then the statement reads: "universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable as soon as that result is true for the False truth constant". The label "cbvaw" means "'change bound variable' theorem, 'all' quantifier, weak version". (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) This proof is not intuitionistic (it uses ja 186); an intuitionistically valid statement is obtained by expressing the antecedent as a disjunction (classically equivalent through imor 854). (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦⊥) → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∀𝑦𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvew 36904*	Existentially quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvexvv 36902. If ⊤ is substituted for 𝜑, then the statement reads: "existentially quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable as soon as that result is true for the True truth constant. The label "cbvew" means "'change bound variable' theorem, 'exists' quantifier, weak version". (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) This proof is intuitionistic. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((∃𝑥⊤ → ∃𝑦𝜑) → (∃𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑦𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbveaw 36905*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvalvv 36901. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-ax12wlem 36907*	A lemma used to prove a weak version of the axiom of substitution ax-12 2185. (Temporary comment: The general statement that ax12wlem 2138 proves.) (Contributed by BJ, 20-Mar-2020.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-cbval 36908*	Changing a bound variable (universal quantification case) in a weak axiomatization that assumes that all variables denote (which is valid in inclusive free logic) and that equality is symmetric. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Mar-2023.) Proved from ax-1 6-- ax-5 1912. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ∀𝑦∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦    &   ⊢ ∀𝑥∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝑥    &   ⊢ (𝑦 = 𝑥 → 𝑥 = 𝑦)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑)    &   ⊢ ((𝜑 ∧ 𝑥 = 𝑦) → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 ↔ ∀𝑦𝜒))
Theorem	bj-cbvex 36909*	Changing a bound variable (existential quantification case) in a weak axiomatization that assumes that all variables denote (which is valid in inclusive free logic) and that equality is symmetric. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Mar-2023.) Proved from ax-1 6-- ax-5 1912. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ∀𝑦∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦    &   ⊢ ∀𝑥∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝑥    &   ⊢ (𝑦 = 𝑥 → 𝑥 = 𝑦)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑)    &   ⊢ ((𝜑 ∧ 𝑥 = 𝑦) → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∃𝑥𝜓 ↔ ∃𝑦𝜒))
Syntax	wmoo 36910	Syntax for BJ's version of the uniqueness quantifier.
wff ∃**𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-bj-mo 36911*	Definition of the uniqueness quantifier which is correct on the empty domain. Instead of the fresh variable 𝑧, one could save a dummy variable by using 𝑥 or 𝑦 at the cost of having nested quantifiers on the same variable. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Mar-2023.)
⊢ (∃**𝑥𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑧∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 = 𝑦))
21.19.4.5  Equality and substitution
Theorem	bj-df-sb 36912*	Proposed definition to replace df-sb 2069 and df-sbc 3743. Proof is therefore unimportant. Contrary to df-sb 2069, this definition makes a substituted formula false when one substitutes a non-existent object for a variable: this is better suited to the "Levy-style" treatment of classes as virtual objects adopted by set.mm. That difference is unimportant since as soon as ax6ev 1971 is posited, all variables "exist". (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.)
⊢ ([𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦(𝑦 = 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-sbcex 36913	Proof of sbcex 3752 when taking bj-df-sb 36912 as definition. (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-dfsbc 36914	Proof of df-sbc 3743 when taking bj-df-sb 36912 as definition. (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ [𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑)
Theorem	bj-ssbeq 36915*	Substitution in an equality, disjoint variables case. Uses only ax-1 6 through ax-6 1969. It might be shorter to prove the result about composition of two substitutions and prove bj-ssbeq 36915 first with a DV condition on 𝑥, 𝑡, and then in the general case. (Contributed by BJ, 22-Dec-2020.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ([𝑡 / 𝑥]𝑦 = 𝑧 ↔ 𝑦 = 𝑧)
Theorem	bj-ssblem1 36916*	A lemma for the definiens of df-sb 2069. An instance of sp 2191 proved without it. Note: it has a common subproof with sbjust 2067. (Contributed by BJ, 22-Dec-2020.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑦(𝑦 = 𝑡 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)) → (𝑦 = 𝑡 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-ssblem2 36917*	An instance of ax-11 2163 proved without it. The converse may not be provable without ax-11 2163 (since using alcomimw 2045 would require a DV on 𝜑, 𝑥, which defeats the purpose). (Contributed by BJ, 22-Dec-2020.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑥∀𝑦(𝑦 = 𝑡 → (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)) → ∀𝑦∀𝑥(𝑦 = 𝑡 → (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-ax12v 36918*	A weaker form of ax-12 2185 and ax12v 2186, namely the generalization over 𝑥 of the latter. In this statement, all occurrences of 𝑥 are bound. (Contributed by BJ, 26-Dec-2020.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-ax89 36941	A theorem which could be used as sole axiom for the non-logical predicate instead of ax-8 2116 and ax-9 2124. Indeed, it is implied over propositional calculus by the conjunction of ax-8 2116 and ax-9 2124, as proved here. In the other direction, one can prove ax-8 2116 (respectively ax-9 2124) from bj-ax89 36941 by using mpan2 692 (respectively mpan 691) and equid 2014. TODO: move to main part.

Theorem	axc11n11r 36948	Proof of axc11n 2431 from { ax-1 6-- ax-7 2010, axc9 2387, axc11r 2373 } (note that axc16 2269 is provable from { ax-1 6-- ax-7 2010, axc11r 2373 }). Note that axc11n 2431 proves (over minimal calculus) that axc11 2435 and axc11r 2373 are equivalent. Therefore, axc11n11 36947 and axc11n11r 36948 prove that one can use one or the other as an axiom, provided one assumes the axioms listed above (axc11 2435 appears slightly stronger since axc11n11r 36948 requires axc9 2387 while axc11n11 36947 does not). (Contributed by BJ, 6-Jul-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

21.19.4.11  Really adding ax-12 The results in the previous section, as actually many theorems of the main part using ax-12 2185, actually only require sp 2191 (which is proved using ax-12 2185).
Theorem	bj-substax12 36989	Equivalent form of the axiom of substitution bj-ax12 36919. Although both sides need a DV condition on 𝑥, 𝑡 (or as in bj-ax12v3 36950 on 𝑡, 𝜑) to hold, their equivalence holds without DV conditions. The forward implication is proved in modal (K4) while the reverse implication is proved in modal (T5). The LHS has the advantage of not involving nested quantifiers on the same variable. Its metaweakening is proved from the core axiom schemes in bj-substw 36990. Note that in the LHS, the reverse implication holds by equs4 2421 (or equs4v 2002 if a DV condition is added on 𝑥, 𝑡 as in bj-ax12 36919), and the forward implication is sbalex 2250. The LHS can be read as saying that if there exists a variable equal to a given term witnessing a given formula, then all variables equal to that term also witness that formula. The equivalent form of the LHS using only primitive symbols is (∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑡 → 𝜑) ∨ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑡 → ¬ 𝜑)), which expresses that a given formula is true at all variables equal to a given term, or false at all these variables. An equivalent form of the LHS using only the existential quantifier is ¬ (∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑡 ∧ 𝜑) ∧ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑡 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)), which expresses that there can be no two variables both equal to a given term, one witnessing a formula and the other witnessing its negation. These equivalences do not hold in intuitionistic logic. The LHS should be the preferred form, and has the advantage of having no negation nor nested quantifiers. (Contributed by BJ, 21-May-2024.)

21.19.4.12  Nonfreeness
Syntax	wnnf 36991	Syntax for the nonfreeness quantifier.
wff Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-bj-nnf 36992	Definition of the nonfreeness quantifier. The formula Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 has the intended meaning that the variable 𝑥 is semantically nonfree in the formula 𝜑. The motivation for this quantifier is to have a condition expressible in the logic which is as close as possible to the non-occurrence condition DV (𝑥, 𝜑) (in Metamath files, "$d x ph $."), which belongs to the metalogic. The standard syntactic nonfreeness condition, also expressed in the metalogic, is intermediate between these two notions: semantic nonfreeness implies syntactic nonfreeness, which implies non-occurrence. Both implications are strict; for the first, note that ⊢ Ⅎ'𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥, that is, 𝑥 is semantically (but not syntactically) nonfree in the formula 𝑥 = 𝑥; for the second, note that 𝑥 is syntactically nonfree in the formula ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥 although it occurs in it. We now prove two metatheorems which make precise the above fact that, as far as proving power is concerned, the nonfreeness condition Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 is very close to the non-occurrence condition DV (𝑥, 𝜑). Let S be a Metamath system with the FOL-syntax of (i)set.mm, containing intuitionistic positive propositional calculus and ax-5 1912 and ax5e 1914. Theorem 1. If the scheme (Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 & PHI1 & ... & PHIn ⇒ PHI0, DV) is provable in S, then so is the scheme (PHI1 & ... & PHIn ⇒ PHI0, DV ∪ {{𝑥, 𝜑}}). Proof: By bj-nnfv 37033, we can prove (Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑, {{𝑥, 𝜑}}), from which the theorem follows. QED Theorem 2. Suppose that S also contains (the FOL version of) modal logic KB and commutation of quantifiers alcom 2165 and excom 2168 (possibly weakened by a DV condition on the quantifying variables), and that S can be axiomatized such that the only axioms with a DV condition involving a formula variable are among ax-5 1912, ax5e 1914, ax5ea 1915. If the scheme (PHI1 & ... & PHIn ⇒ PHI0, DV) is provable in S, then so is the scheme (Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 & PHI1 & ... & PHIn ⇒ PHI0, DV ∖ {{𝑥, 𝜑}}). More precisely, if S contains modal 45 and if the variables quantified over in PHI0, ..., PHIn are among 𝑥1, ..., 𝑥m, then the scheme (PHI1 & ... & PHIn ⇒ (antecedent → PHI0), DV ∖ {{𝑥, 𝜑}}) is provable in S, where the antecedent is a finite conjunction of formulas of the form ∀𝑥i1 ...∀𝑥ip Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 where the 𝑥ij's are among the 𝑥i's. Lemma: If 𝑥 ∉ OC(PHI), then S proves the scheme (Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 ⇒ Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI, {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}). More precisely, if the variables quantified over in PHI are among 𝑥1, ..., 𝑥m, then ((antecedent → Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) is provable in S, with the same form of antecedent as above. Proof: By induction on the height of PHI. We first note that by bj-nnfbi 37012 we can assume that PHI contains only primitive (as opposed to defined) symbols. For the base case, atomic formulas are either 𝜑, in which case the scheme to prove is an instance of id 22, or have variables all in OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}, so (Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI, {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) by bj-nnfv 37033, hence ((Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) by a1i 11. For the induction step, PHI is either an implication, a negation, a conjunction, a disjunction, a biconditional, a universal or an existential quantification of formulas where 𝑥 does not occur. We use respectively bj-nnfim 37017, bj-nnfnt 37015, bj-nnfan 37019, bj-nnfor 37021, bj-nnfbit 37023, bj-nnfalt 37055, bj-nnfext 37056. For instance, in the implication case, if we have by induction hypothesis ((∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) and ((∀𝑦1 ...∀𝑦n Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥 PSI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PSI) ∖ {𝜑}}), then bj-nnfim 37017 yields (((∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 ∧ ∀𝑦1 ...∀𝑦n Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑) → Ⅎ'𝑥 (PHI → PSI)), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI → PSI) ∖ {𝜑}}) and similarly for antecedents which are conjunctions as in the statement of the lemma. In the universal quantification case, say quantification over 𝑦, if we have by induction hypothesis ((∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}), then bj-nnfalt 37055 yields ((∀𝑦∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥∀𝑦 PHI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(∀𝑦 PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) and similarly for antecedents which are conjunctions as in the statement of the lemma. Note bj-nnfalt 37055 and bj-nnfext 37056 are proved from positive propositional calculus with alcom 2165 and excom 2168 (possibly weakened by a DV condition on the quantifying variables), and modalB (via bj-19.12 36988). QED Proof of the theorem: Consider a proof of that scheme directly from the axioms. Consider a step where a DV condition involving 𝜑 is used. By hypothesis, that step is an instance of ax-5 1912 or ax5e 1914 or ax5ea 1915. It has the form (PSI → ∀𝑥 PSI) where PSI has the form of the lemma and the DV conditions of the proof contain {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PSI) }. Therefore, one has ((∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → Ⅎ'𝑥 PSI), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PSI) ∖ {𝜑}}) for appropriate 𝑥i's, and by bj-nnfa 36993 we obtain ((∀𝑥1 ...∀𝑥m Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑 → (PSI → ∀𝑥 PSI)), {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PSI) ∖ {𝜑}}) and similarly for antecedents which are conjunctions as in the statement of the theorem. Similarly if the step is using ax5e 1914 or ax5ea 1915, we would use bj-nnfe 36996 or bj-nnfea 36999 respectively. Therefore, taking as antecedent of the theorem to prove the conjunction of all the antecedents at each of these steps, we obtain a proof by "carrying the context over", which is possible, as in the deduction theorem when the step uses ax-mp 5, and when the step uses ax-gen 1797, by bj-nnf-alrim 37010 and bj-nnfa1 37049 (which requires modal 45). The condition DV (𝑥, 𝜑) is not required by the resulting proof. Finally, there may be in the global antecedent thus constructed some dummy variables, which can be removed by spvw 1983. QED Compared with df-nf 1786, the present definition is stricter on positive propositional calculus (bj-nnfnfTEMP 37005) and equivalent on core FOL plus sp 2191 (bj-nfnnfTEMP 37047). While being stricter, it still holds for non-occurring variables (bj-nnfv 37033), which is the basic requirement for this quantifier. In particular, it translates more closely the associated variable disjointness condition. Since the nonfreeness quantifier is a means to translate a variable disjointness condition from the metalogic to the logic, it seems preferable. Also, since nonfreeness is mainly used as a hypothesis, this definition would allow more theorems, notably the 19.xx theorems, to be proved from the core axioms, without needing a 19.xxv variant. One can devise infinitely many definitions increasingly close to the non-occurring condition, like ((∃𝑥𝜑 → 𝜑) ∧ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)) ∧ ∀𝑥((∃𝑥𝜑 → 𝜑) ∧ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)) ∧ ∀𝑥∀𝑥... and each stronger definition would permit more theorems to be proved from the core axioms. A reasonable rule seems to be to stop before nested quantifiers appear (since they typically require ax-10 2147 to work with), and also not to have redundant conjuncts when full metacomplete FOL= is developed.
