let such that

justification let x:T such that P (H)

Synopsis:

justification let id : term such that term ( id )

Pre-condition:

None.

Action:

It applies the left introduction rule of the existential quantifier on the formula ∃ x. P(x) (in Natural Deduction this corresponds to the elimination rule for the quantifier).

New sequent to prove:

A new sequent with ∃ x. P(x) as the conclusion is opened and then immediately closed using the given justification. A new sequent with the conclusion of the sequent on which this tactic was applied is opened, and two new hypotheses x : T and H : P are added to the context.
