Theorem sepexi 5269

Description: Convert implication to equivalence within an existence statement using the Separation Scheme (Aussonderung) ax-sep 5262. Inference associated with sepex 5268. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.) Generalize conclusion, extract closed form, and avoid ax-9 2156. (Revised by Matthew House, 19-Sep-2025.)

Hypothesis

Ref	Expression
sepexi.1	⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
sepexi	⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ↔ 𝜑)

Distinct variable groups:   𝑥,𝑦   𝑥,𝑧   𝜑,𝑦   𝜑,𝑧

Allowed substitution hint:   𝜑(𝑥)

Proof of Theorem sepexi

Step	Hyp	Ref	Expression
1		sepexi.1	. 2 ⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦)
2		sepex 5268	. 2 ⊢ (∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝜑 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦) → ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ↔ 𝜑))
3	1, 2	ax-mp 5	1 ⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ↔ 𝜑)
