Theorem exiftru 1657

Description: A companion rule to ax-gen, valid only if an individual exists. Unlike ax-9 1654, it does not require equality on its interface. Some fundamental theorems of predicate logic can be proven from ax-gen 1546, ax-5 1557 and this theorem alone, not requiring ax-8 1675 or excessive distinct variable conditions. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 12-Nov-2017.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 9-Dec-2017.)

Hypothesis

Ref	Expression
exiftru.1	|- ph

Assertion

Ref	Expression
exiftru	|- E.xph

Proof of Theorem exiftru

Dummy variable y is distinct from all other variables.
