Axiom ax-15 806
Description: Axiom of Quantifier Introduction. One of the 3 non-logical predicate axioms of our predicate calculus. Axiom scheme C14' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). It is redundant if we include ax-17 925; see theorem ax15 1006 below. Alternately, ax-17 925 becomes unnecessary in principle with this axiom, but we lose the more powerful metalogic provided by ax-17 925. We retain ax-15 806 here to provide completeness for systems with the simpler metalogic afforded by omitting ax-17 925, that might be easier to study for some theoretical purposes.
