Statement
Theorem	bj-cbval 37301*	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 1943. (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 37302*	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 1943. (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 37303	Syntax for BJ's version of the uniqueness quantifier.
wff ∃**𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-bj-mo 37304*	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 37305*	Proposed definition to replace df-sb 2100 and df-sbc 3748. Proof is therefore unimportant. Contrary to df-sb 2100, 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 2002 is posited, all variables "exist". (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.)
⊢ ([𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦(𝑦 = 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-sbcex 37306	Proof of sbcex 3757 when taking bj-df-sb 37305 as definition. (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ([𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑 → 𝐴 ∈ V)
Theorem	bj-dfsbc 37307	Proof of df-sbc 3748 when taking bj-df-sb 37305 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 37308*	Substitution in an equality, disjoint variables case. Uses only ax-1 6 through ax-6 2000. It might be shorter to prove the result about composition of two substitutions and prove bj-ssbeq 37308 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 37309*	A lemma for the definiens of df-sb 2100. An instance of sp 2222 proved without it. Note: it has a common subproof with sbjust 2098. (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 37310*	An instance of ax-11 2195 proved without it. The converse may not be provable without ax-11 2195 (since using alcomimw 2076 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 37311*	A weaker form of ax-12 2216 and ax12v 2217, 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-eqs 37331*	A lemma for substitutions, proved from Tarski's FOL. The version without DV (𝑥, 𝑦) is true but requires ax-13 2407. The disjoint variable condition DV (𝑥, 𝜑) is necessary for both directions: consider substituting 𝑥 = 𝑧 for 𝜑. (Contributed by BJ, 25-May-2021.)

21.19.4.8  Membership predicate, ax-8 and ax-9
Theorem	bj-ax89 37334	A theorem which could be used as sole axiom for the non-logical predicate instead of ax-8 2148 and ax-9 2156. Indeed, it is implied over propositional calculus by the conjunction of ax-8 2148 and ax-9 2156, as proved here. In the other direction, one can prove ax-8 2148 (respectively ax-9 2156) from bj-ax89 37334 by using mpan2 704 (respectively mpan 703) and equid 2045. TODO: move to main part.

Theorem	axc11n11 37340	Proof of axc11n 2461 from { ax-1 6-- ax-7 2041, axc11 2465 } . Almost identical to axc11nfromc11 39733. (Contributed by NM, 6-Jul-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	axc11n11r 37341	Proof of axc11n 2461 from { ax-1 6-- ax-7 2041, axc9 2417, axc11r 2403 } (note that axc16 2300 is provable from { ax-1 6-- ax-7 2041, axc11r 2403 }). Note that axc11n 2461 proves (over minimal calculus) that axc11 2465 and axc11r 2403 are equivalent. Therefore, axc11n11 37340 and axc11n11r 37341 prove that one can use one or the other as an axiom, provided one assumes the axioms listed above (axc11 2465 appears slightly stronger since axc11n11r 37341 requires axc9 2417 while axc11n11 37340 does not). (Contributed by BJ, 6-Jul-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Note that if one assumes reflexivity of equality ⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑥 (equid 2045), then bj-ax12v3 37343 implies ax-5 1943 over modal logic K (substitute 𝑥 for 𝑦). See also bj-ax12v3ALT 37344. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Jul-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-ax12v3ALT 37344*	Alternate proof of bj-ax12v3 37343. Uses axc11r 2403 and axc15 2457 instead of ax-12 2216. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Jul-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-sb 37345*	A weak variant of sbid2 2543 not requiring ax-13 2407 nor ax-10 2179. On top of Tarski's FOL, one implication requires only ax12v 2217, and the other requires only sp 2222. (Contributed by BJ, 25-May-2021.)

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 2216, actually only require sp 2222 (which is proved using ax-12 2216).
Theorem	bj-substax12 37382	Equivalent form of the axiom of substitution bj-ax12 37312. Although both sides need a DV condition on 𝑥, 𝑡 (or as in bj-ax12v3 37343 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 37383. Note that in the LHS, the reverse implication holds by equs4 2451 (or equs4v 2033 if a DV condition is added on 𝑥, 𝑡 as in bj-ax12 37312), and the forward implication is sbalex 2281. 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 37384	Syntax for the nonfreeness quantifier.
wff Ⅎ'𝑥𝜑
Definition	df-bj-nnf 37385	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 1943 and ax5e 1945. 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 37426, 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 2197 and excom 2200 (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 1943, ax5e 1945, ax5ea 1946. 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 37405 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 23, or have variables all in OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}, so (Ⅎ'𝑥 PHI, {{𝑥, 𝑎} ∣ 𝑎 ∈ OC(PHI) ∖ {𝜑}}) by bj-nnfv 37426, 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 37410, bj-nnfnt 37408, bj-nnfan 37412, bj-nnfor 37414, bj-nnfbit 37416, bj-nnfalt 37448, bj-nnfext 37449. 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 37410 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 37448 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 37448 and bj-nnfext 37449 are proved from positive propositional calculus with alcom 2197 and excom 2200 (possibly weakened by a DV condition on the quantifying variables), and modalB (via bj-19.12 37381). 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 1943 or ax5e 1945 or ax5ea 1946. 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 37386 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 1945 or ax5ea 1946, we would use bj-nnfe 37389 or bj-nnfea 37392 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 1828, by bj-nnf-alrim 37403 and bj-nnfa1 37442 (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 2014. QED Compared with df-nf 1817, the present definition is stricter on positive propositional calculus (bj-nnfnfTEMP 37398) and equivalent on core FOL plus sp 2222 (bj-nfnnfTEMP 37440). While being stricter, it still holds for non-occurring variables (bj-nnfv 37426), 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 2179 to work with), and also not to have redundant conjuncts when full metacomplete FOL= is developed.
