Theorem eujust

Description: Soundness justification theorem for eu6 when this was the definition of the unique existential quantifier (note that y and z need not be disjoint, although the weaker theorem with that disjoint variable condition added would be enough to justify the soundness of the definition). See eujustALT for a proof that provides an example of how it can be achieved through the use of dvelim . (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2010) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 9-Jul-2011)

Assertion eujust y x φ x = y z x φ x = z

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 equequ2 y = w x = y x = w
2 1 bibi2d y = w φ x = y φ x = w
3 2 albidv y = w x φ x = y x φ x = w
4 3 cbvexvw y x φ x = y w x φ x = w
5 equequ2 w = z x = w x = z
6 5 bibi2d w = z φ x = w φ x = z
7 6 albidv w = z x φ x = w x φ x = z
8 7 cbvexvw w x φ x = w z x φ x = z
