Axiom ax-gen 960
Description: Rule of Generalization. The postulated inference rule of pure predicate calculus. See e.g. Rule 2 of [Hamilton] p. 74. This rule says that if something is unconditionally true, then it is true for all values of a variable. For example, if we have proved x = x, we can conclude ∀xx = x or even ∀yx = x. Theorem a4i 979 shows we can go the other way also: in other words we can add or remove universal quantifiers from the beginning of any theorem as required.
