Theorem equsexALT

Description: Alternate proof of equsex . This proves the result directly, instead of as a corollary of equsal via equs4 . Note in particular that only existential quantifiers appear in the proof and that the only step requiring ax-13 is ax6e . This proof mimics that of equsal (in particular, note that pm5.32i , exbii , 19.41 , mpbiran correspond respectively to pm5.74i , albii , 19.23 , a1bi ).
