Theorem dfsb7 2455

Description: An alternate definition of proper substitution df-sb 1881. By introducing a dummy variable 𝑧 in the definiens, we are able to eliminate any distinct variable restrictions among the variables 𝑥, 𝑦, and 𝜑 of the definiendum. No distinct variable conflicts arise because 𝑧 effectively insulates 𝑥 from 𝑦. To achieve this, we use a chain of two substitutions in the form of sb5 2430, first 𝑧 for 𝑥 then 𝑦 for 𝑧. Compare Definition 2.1'' of [Quine] p. 17, which is obtained from this theorem by applying df-clab 2609. Theorem sb7h 2454 provides a version where 𝜑 and 𝑧 don't have to be distinct.
