Axiom ax-11o 1260

Description: Axiom ax-11o 1260 ("o" for "old") was the original version of ax-11 1008, before it was discovered (in Jan. 2007) that the shorter ax-11 1008 could replace it. It appears as Axiom scheme C15' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is based on Lemma 16 of [Tarski] p. 70 and Axiom C8 of [Monk2] p. 105, from which it can be proved by cases. To understand this theorem more easily, think of "-. A.xx = y ->..." as informally meaning "if x and y are distinct variables then..." The antecedent becomes false if the same variable is substituted for x and y, ensuring the theorem is sound whenever this is the case. In some later theorems, we call an antecedent of the form -. A.xx = y a "distinctor."

This axiom is redundant, as shown by theorem ax11o 1259.

Assertion

Ref	Expression
ax-11o	|- (-. A.x x = y -> (x = y -> (ph -> A.x(x = y -> ph))))
