Theorem alseu-no-surprise

Description: Demonstrate that there is never a "surprise" when using the "all some one" quantifier, that is, it is never possible for the consequent to be both always true and always false. This follows from als-no-surprise by alseuals . For a contrast, see alimp-surprise . (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 21-Jul-2026)
