Theorem ax12a2-o

Description: Derive ax-c15 from a hypothesis in the form of ax-12 , without using ax-12 or ax-c15 . The hypothesis is weaker than ax-12 , with z both distinct from x and not occurring in ph . Thus, the hypothesis provides an alternate axiom that can be used in place of ax-12 , if we also have ax-c11 , which this proof uses. As Theorem ax12 shows, the distinct variable conditions are optional. An open problem is whether we can derive this with ax-c11n instead of ax-c11 .
