"(∃z. PP z x) ⟹ (∀z. PP z x ⟶ P z y) ⟹ P x y"
proof -
assume "∃z. PP z x"
then obtain v where v: "PP v x"..
hence "P v x" by (rule proper_implies_part)
assume antecedent: "∀z. PP z x ⟶ P z y"
hence "PP v x ⟶ P v y"..
hence "P v y" using ‹PP v x›..
with ‹P v x› have "P v x ∧ P v y"..
hence "∃v. P v x ∧ P v y"..
with overlap_eq have "O x y"..
show "P x y"
proof (rule ccontr)
assume "¬ P x y"
hence "∃z. P z x ∧ ¬ O z y"
by (rule strong_supplementation)
then obtain z where z: "P z x ∧ ¬ O z y"..
hence "P z x"..
moreover have "z ≠ x"
proof
assume "z = x"
moreover from z have "¬ O z y"..
ultimately have "¬ O x y" by (rule subst)
thus "False" using ‹O x y›..
