Description: At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). Note that we may not substitute the same variable for both x and y (as indicated by the distinct variable requirement), for otherwise we would contradict stdpc6 .
This theorem is proved directly from set theory axioms (no set theory definitions) and does not use ax-ext or ax-sep . See dtruALT for a shorter proof using these axioms.
The proof makes use of dummy variables z and w which do not appear in the final theorem. They must be distinct from each other and from x and y . In other words, if we were to substitute x for z throughout the proof, the proof would fail. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006) Avoid ax-13 . (Revised by Gino Giotto, 5-Sep-2023)
