The specialization axiom of standard predicate calculus. It states that
if a statement \( \varphi \) 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]. (Contributed by NM,
