Axiom ax-11o 2141
Description: Axiom ax-11o 2141 ("o" for "old") was the original version of ax-11 1746, before it was discovered (in Jan. 2007) that the shorter ax-11 1746 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 " ..." as informally meaning "if and are distinct variables then..." The antecedent becomes false if the same variable is substituted for and , ensuring the theorem is sound whenever this is the case. In some later theorems, we call an antecedent of the form a "distinctor."

Interestingly, if the wff expression substituted for contains no wff variables, the resulting statement can be proved without invoking this axiom. This means that even though this axiom is metalogically independent from the others, it is not logically independent. Specifically, we can prove any wff-variable-free instance of axiom ax-11o 2141 (from which the ax-11 1746 instance follows by theorem ax11 2155.) The proof is by induction on formula length, using ax11eq 2193 and ax11el 2194 for the basis steps and ax11indn 2195, ax11indi 2196, and ax11inda 2200 for the induction steps. (This paragraph is true provided we use ax-10o 2139 in place of ax-10 2140.)

This axiom is obsolete and should no longer be used. It is proved above as theorem ax11o 1994. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (New usage is discouraged.)
