Theorem bj-axd2d

Description: This implication, proved using only ax-gen on top of propositional calculus (hence holding, up to the standard interpretation, in any modal logic), shows that the axiom scheme |- ( A. x ph -> E. x ph ) implies the axiom scheme |- E. x T. . These correspond to the modal axiom (D), and in predicate calculus, they assert that the universe of discourse is nonempty. For the converse, see bj-axdd2 .
