Theorem stdpc4 1181
Description: The specialization axiom of standard predicate calculus. It states that if a statement ph holds for all x, then it also holds for the specific case of y (properly) substituted for x. Translated to traditional notation, it can be read: "A.xph(x) -> ph(y), provided that y is free for x in ph(x)." Axiom 4 of [Mendelson] p. 69. See also a4sbc 1935 and ra4sbc 1987.
