Theorem notsep

Description: In the Separation Scheme sepgi , we require that y not occur in ph (which can be generalized to "not be free in"). That requirement is necessary: notsep , which requires only ax-ext and ax-nul on top of first-order logic, derives *non*-existence of a "separating set" for specific values of the containing set A and of the separating condition ph . Therefore, from the axioms required by notsep and an overly strong axiom of separation without the requirement that y not occur in ph , we could derive F. , a contradiction.
