Existence Property Implies Disjunction Property
To prove the numerical existence property implies the disjunction property is trivial since a disjunction can be written as an existential formula,
- .
Therefore, assuming the numerical existence property, if is a theorem of, so is, by the numerical existence property there exists some such that is a theorem. Since is a numerial, we can check the value of, if then is a theorem and if then is a theorem, and the disjunction property is satisfied.

Famous quotes containing the words existence, property and/or implies:
“To call a posit a posit is not to patronize it. A posit can be unavoidable except at the cost of other no less artificial expedients. Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The property of rain is to wet and fire to burn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
