Theorem ndalle-P7.18 843
Description: Natural Deduction: '' Elimination Rule.

In the traditional textbook presentation '𝜑' and '[𝑡 / 𝑥]𝜑' are written as '𝜑(𝑥)' and '𝜑(𝑡)', respectively. The rule is then stated as...

'(𝛾 → ∀𝑥𝜑(𝑥))(𝛾𝜑(𝑡))'.

The English interpretation of this rule is as follows -- since '𝜑(𝑥)' is true for *any* '𝑥', *in particular*, it is true for '𝑡', thus we can deduce '𝜑(𝑡)'. Within a proof, the phrase "in particular" is a good clue that this rule is being used.
