---------------------------------------------------------------------- PFORALL_OR_CONV (PairRules) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PFORALL_OR_CONV : conv KEYWORDS conversion, quantifier, universal, disjunction. LIBRARY pair SYNOPSIS Moves a paired universal quantification inwards through a disjunction. DESCRIBE When applied to a term of the form {!p. t \/ u}, where no variable in {p} is free in both {t} and {u}, {PFORALL_OR_CONV} returns a theorem of one of three forms, depending on occurrences of the variables from {p} in {t} and {u}. If variables from {p} are free in {t} but not in {u}, then the theorem: |- (!p. t \/ u) = (!p. t) \/ u is returned. If variables from {p} are free in {u} but none are free in {t}, then the result is: |- (!p. t \/ u) = t \/ (!t. u) And if no variable from {p} is free in either {t} nor {u}, then the result is: |- (!p. t \/ u) = (!p. t) \/ (!p. u) FAILURE {PFORALL_OR_CONV} fails if it is applied to a term not of the form {!p. t \/ u}, or if it is applied to a term {!p. t \/ u} in which variables from {p} are free in both {t} and {u}.
