The Existential Quantifier

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

(∃x)Fx says: at least one individual x is F.

Show

(∃x)Ux — something is a unicorn. False, but perfectly well-formed.

Watch for

"At least one," exactly as in video 071. The two quantifiers are the whole inventory.
