Statement
Theorem	bj-nfimexal 37601	A weak from of nonfreeness in either an antecedent or a consequent implies that a universally quantified implication is equivalent to the associated implication where the antecedent is existentially quantified and the consequent is universally quantified. The forward implication always holds (this is 19.38 1871) and the converse implication is the join of instances of bj-alrimg 37576 and bj-exlimg 37598 (see 19.38a 1872 and 19.38b 1873). TODO: prove a version where the antecedents use the nonfreeness quantifier. (Contributed by BJ, 9-Dec-2023.)
⊢ (((∃𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑) ∨ (∃𝑥𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓)) → ((∃𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜓) ↔ ∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-exim 37602	Theorem 19.22 of [Margaris] p. 90. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jan-1993.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 4-Jul-2014.) Prove it directly from alim 1842 to allow use in bj-alexim 37603. (Revised by BJ, 9-Dec-2023.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓) → (∃𝑥𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-alexim 37603	Closed form of aleximi 1864. Note: this proof is shorter, so aleximi 1864 could be deduced from it (exim 1866 would have to be proved first, see bj-exim 37602). (Contributed by BJ, 8-Nov-2021.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒)) → (∀𝑥𝜑 → (∃𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜒)))
Theorem	bj-aleximiALT 37604	Alternate proof of aleximi 1864 from exim 1866, which is sometimes used as an axiom in instuitionistic modal logic. (Contributed by BJ, 9-Dec-2023.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥𝜑 → (∃𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜒))
Theorem	bj-hbxfrbi 37605	Closed form of hbxfrbi 1857. Note: it is less important than nfbiit 1883. The antecedent is in the "strong necessity" modality of modal logic (see also bj-nnftht 37738) in order not to require sp 2219 (modal T). See bj-hbyfrbi 37606 for its version with existential quantifiers. (Contributed by BJ, 6-May-2019.)
⊢ (((𝜑 ↔ 𝜓) ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) → ((𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑) ↔ (𝜓 → ∀𝑥𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-hbyfrbi 37606	Version of bj-hbxfrbi 37605 with existential quantifiers. (Contributed by BJ, 23-Aug-2023.)
⊢ (((𝜑 ↔ 𝜓) ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) → ((∃𝑥𝜑 → 𝜑) ↔ (∃𝑥𝜓 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-exalim 37607	Distribute quantifiers over a nested implication. This and the following theorems are the general instances of already proved theorems. They could be moved to the main part, before ax-5 1942. I propose to move to the main part: bj-exalim 37607, bj-exalimi 37608, bj-eximcom 37609 bj-exalims 37610, bj-exalimsi 37611, bj-ax12i 37614, bj-ax12wlem 37637, bj-ax12w 37670. A new label is needed for bj-ax12i 37614 and label suggestions are welcome for the others. I also propose to change ¬ ∀𝑥¬ to ∃𝑥 in speimfw 1995 and spimfw 1997 (other spim* theorems use ∃𝑥 and very few theorems in set.mm use ¬ ∀𝑥¬). (Contributed by BJ, 8-Nov-2021.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒)) → (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜒)))
Theorem	bj-exalimi 37608	An inference for distributing quantifiers over a nested implication. The canonical derivation from its closed form bj-exalim 37607 (using mpg 1829) has fewer essential steps, but more steps in total (yielding a longer compressed proof). (Almost) the general statement that speimfw 1995 proves. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜒))
Theorem	bj-eximcom 37609	A commuted form of exim 1866 which is sometimes posited as an axiom in instuitionistic modal logic. Forward implication of 19.35 1909. Its converse is not intuitionistic. (Contributed by BJ, 9-Dec-2023.)
⊢ (∃𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓) → (∀𝑥𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-exalims 37610	Distributing quantifiers over a nested implication. (Almost) the general statement that spimfw 1997 proves. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (¬ 𝜒 → ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥(𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒)) → (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → 𝜒)))
Theorem	bj-exalimsi 37611	An inference for distributing quantifiers over a nested implication. (Almost) the general statement that spimfw 1997 proves. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → 𝜒))    &   ⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (¬ 𝜒 → ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → 𝜒))
Theorem	bj-axdd2ALT 37612	Alternate proof of bj-axdd2 37555 (this should replace bj-axdd2 37555 when bj-exalimi 37608 is moved to the main section). (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-ax12ig 37613	A lemma used to prove a weak form of the axiom of substitution. A generalization of bj-ax12i 37614. (Contributed by BJ, 19-Dec-2020.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒))    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜒 → ∀𝑥𝜒))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-ax12i 37614	A weakening of bj-ax12ig 37613 that is sufficient to prove a weak form of the axiom of substitution ax-12 2212. The general statement of which ax12i 1998 is an instance. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 ↔ 𝜒))    &   ⊢ (𝜒 → ∀𝑥𝜒)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜓 → ∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-nfimt 37615	Closed form of nfim 1928 and curried (exported) form of nfimt 1927. (Contributed by BJ, 20-Oct-2021.) Proof should not use 19.35 1909. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (Ⅎ𝑥𝜑 → (Ⅎ𝑥𝜓 → Ⅎ𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-spimnfe 37616	A universal specification result: if 𝜑 is true for all values of 𝑥 and implies 𝜓 for at least one value, and if furthermore 𝑥 is ∃-weakly nonfree in 𝜓, then 𝜓 follows. An intermediate result on the way to prove 19.36i 2267, bj-19.36im 37758, 19.36imv 1977, spimfw 1997... (Contributed by BJ, 3-Apr-2026.) Proof should not use 19.35 1909. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((∃𝑥𝜓 → 𝜓) → (∃𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓) → (∀𝑥𝜑 → 𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-spimenfa 37617	An existential generalization result: if 𝜑 holds and implies 𝜓 for at least one value of 𝑥, and if furthermore 𝑥 is ∀ -weakly nonfree in 𝜑, then 𝜓 holds for at least one value of 𝑥. (Contributed by BJ, 3-Apr-2026.) Proof should not use 19.35 1909. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑) → (∃𝑥(𝜑 → 𝜓) → (𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓)))
Theorem	bj-spim 37618	A lemma for universal specification. In applications, 𝑥 = 𝑦 will be substituted for 𝜓 and ax6ev 2001 will prove Hypothesis bj-spim.denote. (Contributed by BJ, 4-Apr-2026.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∃𝑥𝜃 → 𝜃))    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓)    &   ⊢ ((𝜑 ∧ 𝜓) → (𝜒 → 𝜃))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜒 → 𝜃))
Theorem	bj-spime 37619	A lemma for existential generalization. In applications, 𝑥 = 𝑦 will be substituted for 𝜓 and ax6ev 2001 will prove Hypothesis bj-spime.denote. (Contributed by BJ, 4-Apr-2026.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜒 → ∀𝑥𝜒))    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓)    &   ⊢ ((𝜑 ∧ 𝜓) → (𝜒 → 𝜃))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜒 → ∃𝑥𝜃))
Theorem	bj-cbvalimd0 37620	A lemma for alpha-renaming of variables bound by a universal quantifier. In applications, 𝑥 = 𝑦 will be substituted for 𝜓 and ax6ev 2001 will prove Hypothesis bj-cbvalimd0.denote. When ax6ev 2001 is not available but only its universal closure is, then bj-cbvalimd 37623 or bj-cbvalimdv 37625 should be used (see bj-cbvalimdlem 37621, bj-cbval 37638). (Contributed by BJ, 4-Apr-2026.)
⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑)    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝜒 → ∀𝑦𝜒))    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∃𝑥𝜃 → 𝜃))    &   ⊢ (𝜑 → ∃𝑥𝜓)    &   ⊢ ((𝜑 ∧ 𝜓) → (𝜒 → 𝜃))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜒 → ∀𝑦𝜃))
Theorem	bj-cbvalimdlem 37621	A lemma for alpha-renaming of variables bound by a universal quantifier. Hypothesis bj-cbvalimdlem.nfch can be proved either from DV conditions as in bj-cbvalimdv 37625 or from a nonfreeness condition and alcom 2195 as in bj-cbvalimd 37623. Hypothesis bj-cbvalimdlem.denote is weaker than the corresponding hypothesis of bj-cbvalimd0 37620, and this proof is therefore a bit longer, not using bj-spim 37618 but bj-eximcom 37609. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Mar-2023.) Proof should not use 19.35 1909. (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-cbveximdlem 37622	A lemma for alpha-renaming of variables bound by an existential quantifier. Hypothesis bj-cbveximdlem.nfth can be proved either from DV conditions as in bj-cbveximdv 37626 or from a nonfreeness condition and excom 2198 as in bj-cbveximd 37624. Hypothesis bj-cbveximdlem.denote is weaker than the corresponding hypothesis of ~ bj-cbveximd0 , and this proof is therefore a bit longer, not using bj-spime 37619 but bj-eximcom 37609. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Mar-2023.) Proof should not use 19.35 1909. (Proof modification is discouraged.)

21.20.4.4  Adding ax-5
Theorem	bj-spvw 37627*	Version of spvw 2013 and 19.3v 2014 proved from ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942. The antecedent can for instance be proved with the existence axiom extru 2007. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (𝜓 ↔ ∀𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-spvew 37628*	Version of 19.8v 2015 and 19.9v 2016 proved from ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942. The antecedent can for instance be proved with the existence axiom extru 2007. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) This could also be proved from bj-spvw 37627 using duality, but that proof would not be intuitionistic, contrary to the present one. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (𝜓 ↔ ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-alextruim 37629*	An equivalent expression for universal quantification over a non-occurring variable proved over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942. The forward implication can be strengthened when ax-6 1999 is posited (which implies that models are non-empty), see spvw 2013. The reverse implication can be seen as a strengthening of ax-5 1942 (since the antecedent of the implication is weakened). See bj-exextruan 37630 for a dual statement. An approximate meaning is: the universal quantification of a proposition over a non-occurring variable holds if and only if the proposition holds in nonempty universes. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑥𝜑 ↔ (∃𝑥⊤ → 𝜑))
Theorem	bj-exextruan 37630*	An equivalent expression for existential quantification over a non-occurring variable proved over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942. The forward implication can be seen as a strengthening of ax-5 1942 (a conjunct is added to the consequent of the implication). The reverse implication can be strengthened when ax-6 1999 is posited (which implies that models are non-empty), see 19.8v 2015. See bj-alextruim 37629 for a dual statement. An approximate meaning is: the existential quantification of a proposition over a non-occurring variable holds if and only if the proposition holds and the universe is nonempty. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 ↔ (∃𝑥⊤ ∧ 𝜑))
Theorem	bj-cbvalvv 37631*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent of that variable, over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942 and the existence axiom extru 2007. See bj-cbvaw 37633 for a strengthening. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∀𝑦𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvexvv 37632*	Existentially quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent of that variable, over ax-1 6-- ax-5 1942 and the existence axiom extru 2007. See bj-cbvew 37634 for a strengthening. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 → (∃𝑦𝜓 → ∃𝑥𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvaw 37633*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvalvv 37631. 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 188); an intuitionistically valid statement is obtained by expressing the antecedent as a disjunction (classically equivalent through imor 867). (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((∀𝑥𝜑 → ∀𝑦⊥) → (∀𝑥𝜓 → ∀𝑦𝜓))
Theorem	bj-cbvew 37634*	Existentially quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvexvv 37632. 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 37635*	Universally quantifying over a non-occurring variable is independent from the variable, under a weaker condition than in bj-cbvalvv 37631. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Mar-2026.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-cbval 37638*	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.

Definition	df-bj-mo 37641*	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.)

21.20.4.5  Equality and substitution
Theorem	bj-df-sb 37642*	Proposed definition to replace df-sb 2099 and df-sbc 3739. Proof is therefore unimportant. Contrary to df-sb 2099, 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. Indeed, in most set theories, and in particular in this database, one wants to be able to collect the extension of a formula, so it is natural that the extension of a formula contain only sets, and not proper classes. This is illustrated by the fact that bj-dfsbc 37644 holds unconditionally. That statement could therefore replace df-clab 2739. This definition is equivalent to df-sb 2099 when a setvar is substituted for the class, since, as soon as, ax6ev 2001 is posited, all variables "exist". (Contributed by BJ, 19-Feb-2026.)
⊢ ([𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑦(𝑦 = 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ [𝐴 / 𝑥]𝜑)
Theorem	bj-ssbeq 37645*	Substitution in an equality, disjoint variables case. Uses only ax-1 6 through ax-6 1999. It might be shorter to prove the result about composition of two substitutions and prove bj-ssbeq 37645 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 37646*	A lemma for the definiens of df-sb 2099. An instance of sp 2219 proved without it. Note: it has a common subproof with sbjust 2097. (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 37647*	An instance of ax-11 2193 proved without it. The converse may not be provable without ax-11 2193 (since using alcomimw 2075 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 37648*	A weaker form of ax-12 2212 and ax12v 2213, 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 axc11n 2455 proves (over minimal calculus) that axc11 2459 and axc11r 2397 are equivalent. Therefore, axc11n11 37677 and axc11n11r 37678 prove that one can use one or the other as an axiom, provided one assumes the axioms listed above (axc11 2459 appears slightly stronger since axc11n11r 37678 requires axc9 2411 while axc11n11 37677 does not).
