Theorem 2eu5 2557
Description: An alternate definition of double existential uniqueness (see 2eu4 2556). A mistake sometimes made in the literature is to use  E! x E! y to mean "exactly one  x and exactly one  y." (For example, see Proposition 7.53 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 53.) It turns out that this is actually a weaker assertion, as can be seen by expanding out the formal definitions. This theorem shows that the erroneous definition can be repaired by conjoining 
A. x E* y ph as an additional condition. The correct definition apparently has never been published. ( E* means "exists at most one."). (Contributed by NM, 26-Oct-2003.)
