Theorem stdpc4

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 t (properly) substituted for x . Translated to traditional notation, it can be read: " A. x ph ( x ) -> ph ( t ) , provided that t is free for x in ph ( x ) ". Axiom 4 of Mendelson p. 69. See also spsbc and rspsbc .
