Statement
- Suppose we have ∃x∈X[P(x,B)] where P is some formula (FOL) and B is some baggage (like more variables from the rest of the statement this might be in)
To extend this to there exists a unique x such that {M|P(x,B)}} we can write:
- ∃x∈X[P(x,B)∧(∀x′∈X[x′≠x⟹¬P(x′,B)])]
Or using contrapositive:
- ∃x∈X[P(x,B)∧(∀x′∈X[P(x′,B)⟹x′=x])] (confirmed by third party)
