Theorem dvelim 2337

Description: This theorem can be used to eliminate a distinct variable restriction on x and z and replace it with the "distinctor" -. A. x x = y as an antecedent. ph normally has z free and can be read ph ( z ), and ps substitutes y for z and can be read ph ( y ). We do not require that x and y be distinct: if they are not, the distinctor will become false (in multiple-element domains of discourse) and "protect" the consequent.

To obtain a closed-theorem form of this inference, prefix the hypotheses with A. x A. z, conjoin them, and apply dvelimdf 2335.

Other variants of this theorem are dvelimh 2336 (with no distinct variable restrictions) and dvelimhw 2173 (that avoids ax-13 2246). (Contributed by NM, 23-Nov-1994.)

Hypotheses

Ref	Expression
dvelim.1	|- ( ph -> A. x ph )
