Axiom ax-17 1616

Description: Axiom of Distinctness. This axiom quantifies a variable over a formula in which it does not occur. Axiom C5 in [Megill] p. 444 (p. 11 of the preprint). Also appears as Axiom B6 (p. 75) of system S2 of [Tarski] p. 77 and Axiom C5-1 of [Monk2] p. 113.

(See comments in ax17o 2157 about the logical redundancy of ax-17 1616 in the presence of our obsolete axioms.)

This axiom essentially says that if x does not occur in ph, i.e. ph does not depend on x in any way, then we can add the quantifier A.x to ph with no further assumptions. By sp 1747, we can also remove the quantifier (unconditionally). (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
