Axiom ax-c14

Description: Axiom of Quantifier Introduction. One of the equality and substitution axioms for a non-logical predicate in our predicate calculus with equality. Axiom scheme C14' in Megill p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is redundant if we include ax-5 ; see theorem axc14 . Alternately, ax-5 becomes unnecessary in principle with this axiom, but we lose the more powerful metalogic afforded by ax-5 . We retain ax-c14 here to provide completeness for systems with the simpler metalogic that results from omitting ax-5 , which might be easier to study for some theoretical purposes.

This axiom is obsolete and should no longer be used. It is proved above as theorem axc14 . (Contributed by NM, 24-Jun-1993) (New usage is discouraged.)
