Theorem bj-spvew

Description: Version of 19.8v and 19.9v proved from ax-1 -- ax-5 . The antecedent can for instance be proved with the existence axiom extru . (Contributed by BJ, 8-Mar-2026) This could also be proved from bj-spvw using duality, but that proof would not be intuitionistic, contrary to the present one. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
