Select the true statement. See my previous posts The Algorithm of Natural Selection and Flaws in Paleys Teleological Argument. This introduces another variable $k$, but I believe it is relevant to state that this new variable $k$ is bound, and therefore (I think) is not really a new variable in the sense that $m^*$ was ($\color{red}{\dagger}$). in the proof segment below: How can this new ban on drag possibly be considered constitutional? Distinctions between Universal Generalization, Existential Usages of "Let" in the cases of 1) Antecedent Assumption, 2) Existential Instantiation, and 3) Labeling, $\exists x \in A \left[\varphi(x) \right] \rightarrow \exists x \varphi(x)$ and $\forall y \psi(y) \rightarrow \forall y \in B \left[\psi(y) \right]$. Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. ) in formal proofs. b.
