Theoremmopick 1432 "At most one" picks a variable value, eliminating an existential quantifier.
|- ((E*xph /\ E.x(ph /\ ps)) -> (ph -> ps))
 
Theoremeupick 1433 Existential uniqueness "picks" a variable value for which another wff is true. If there is only one thing x such that ph is true, and there is also an x (actually the same one) such that ph and ps are both true, then ph implies ps regardless of x. This theorem, which apparently does not appear explicitly in the literature, can be quite useful because it lets us eliminate existential quantifiers in a hypothesis.

Theorem2eu1 1448 Double existential uniqueness. This theorem shows a condition under which a "naive" definition matches the correct one.
|- (A.xE*yph -> (E!xE!yph <-> (E!xE.yph /\ E!yE.xph)))
 
Theorem2eu2 1449 Double existential uniqueness.

|- (A.xA.y(E*xph \/ E*yph) -> ((E!xE!yph /\ E!yE!xph) <-> (E!xE.yph /\ E!yE.xph)))
 
Theorem2eu4 1451 This theorem provides us with a definition of double existential uniqueness ("exactly one x and exactly one y"). Naively one might think (incorrectly) that it could be defined by E!xE!yph. See 2eu1 1448 for a condition under which the naive definition holds and 2exeu 1445 for a one-way implication. See 2eu5 1452 and 2eu8 1455 for alternate definitions.
|- ((E!xE.yph /\ E!yE.xph) <-> (E.xE.yph /\ E.zE.wA.xA.y(ph -> (x = z /\ y = w))))
 
Theorem2eu5 1452 An alternate definition of double existential uniqueness (see 2eu4 1451). A mistake sometimes made in the literature is to use E!xE!y to mean "exactly one x and exactly one y." (For example, see Proposition 7.53 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 53.) It turns out that this is actually a weaker assertion, as can be seen by expanding out the formal definitions. This theorem shows that the erroneous definition can be repaired by conjoining A.xE*yph as an additional condition. The correct definition apparently has never been published. (E* means "exists at most one.")
|- ((E!xE!yph /\ A.xE*yph) <-> (E.xE.yph /\ E.zE.wA.xA.y(ph -> (x = z /\ y = w))))
 
Theorem2eu6 1453 Two equivalent expressions for double existential uniqueness.
|- ((E!xE.yph /\ E!yE.xph) <-> E.zE.wA.xA.y(ph <-> (x = z /\ y = w)))
 
Theorem2eu7 1454 Two equivalent expressions for double existential uniqueness.
|- ((E!xE.yph /\ E!yE.xph) <-> E!xE!y(E.xph /\ E.yph))
 
Theorem2eu8 1455 Two equivalent expressions for double existential uniqueness. Curiously, we can put E! on either of the internal conjuncts but not both. We can also commute E!xE!y using 2eu7 1454.
|- (E!xE!y(E.xph /\ E.yph) <-> E!xE!y(E!xph /\ E.yph))
 
Theoremexists1 1456 Two ways to express "only one thing exists." The left-hand side requires only one variable to express this. Both sides are false in set theory; see theorem dtru 2768.
|- (E!x x = x <-> A.x x = y)
 
Theoremexists2 1457 A condition implying that at least two things exist.
|- ((E.xph /\ E.x -. ph) -> -. E!x x = x)
 
ZF Set Theory - start with the Axiom of Extensionality
 
Introduce the Axiom of Extensionality
 
Axiomax-ext 1458 Axiom of Extensionality. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that two sets are identical if they contain the same elements. Axiom Ext of [BellMachover] p. 461.

Set theory can also be formulated with a single primitive predicate e. on top of traditional predicate calculus without equality. In that case the Axiom of Extensionality becomes (A.w(w e. x <-> w e. y) -> (x e. z -> y e. z)), and equality x = y is defined as A.w(w e. x <-> w e. y). All of the usual axioms of equality then become theorems of set theory. See, for example, Axiom 1 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 8.

To use the above "equality-free" version of Extensionality with Metamath's logical axioms, we would rewrite ax-8 963 through ax-16 1209 with equality expanded according to the above definition. Some of those axioms could be proved from set theory and would be redundant. Not all of them are redundant, since our axioms of predicate calculus make essential use of equality for the proper substitution that is a primitive notion in traditional predicate calculus. A study of such an axiomatization would be an interesting project for someone exploring the foundations of logic.

General remarks: Our set theory axioms are presented using defined connectives (<->, E., etc.) for convenience. However, it is implicitly understood that the actual axioms use only the primitive connectives ->, -., A., =, and e.. It is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the actual axioms and the ones we display, and we will not do so.

It is important to understand that strictly speaking, all of our set theory axioms are really schemes that represent an infinite number of actual axioms. This is inherent in the design of Metamath ("metavariable math"), which manipulates only metavariables. For example, the metavariable x in ax-ext 1458 can represent any actual variable v1, v2, v3,... . Distinct variable restrictions ($d) prevent us from substituting say v1 for both x and z. This is in contrast to typical textbook presentations that present actual axioms (except for Replacement ax-rep 2689, which involves a wff metavariable). In practice, though, the theorems and proofs are essentially the same. The $d restrictions make each of the the infinite axioms generated by the ax-ext 1458 scheme exactly logically equivalent to each other and in particular to the actual axiom of the textbook version.
