H. Wessel on Substitution (Insertion) - Dictionary of Arguments
I 202f Rule of substitution/insertion/QL: 1. In A i is replaced only at the places where it occurs freely 2. If i in A is in an area where a quantifier binds the variable h, no expression may be used for i which contains h as free variable. ((s) E.g. ("h)(P(h)ui): here i should not mean "h u y") - "everything I own are bicycles and also a bike ... " E.g. Wessel: from A follows AiA: A: "x is born later than 1930"> "x is less than 100 years old" - if i would occur free in the assumptions of the proof then wrong: "all people are born later than in 1930". >Free variable, >Bound variable, >Variables, >Quantification, >Levels/order, >Introduction, >Universal quantification, >Existential quantification._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
