Theorem stdpc5

Description: An axiom scheme of standard predicate calculus that emulates Axiom 5 of Mendelson p. 69. The hypothesis F/ x ph can be thought of as emulating " x is not free in ph ". With this definition, the meaning of "not free" is less restrictive than the usual textbook definition; for example x would not (for us) be free in x = x by nfequid . This theorem scheme can be proved as a metatheorem of Mendelson's axiom system, even though it is slightly stronger than his Axiom 5. See stdpc5v for a version requiring fewer axioms.
