Axiom ax-13 804

Description: Axiom of Equality. One of the 3 non-logical predicate axioms of our predicate calculus. It substitutes equal variables into the left-hand side of the e. binary predicate. Axiom scheme C12' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is a special case of Axiom B8 (p. 75) of system S2 of [Tarski] p. 77. "Non-logical" means that the predicate is not a primitive of predicate calculus proper but instead is an extension to it. "Binary" means that the predicate has two arguments.
