Database: A variable not occurring in a statement does not occur quantified in the statement

Corollary 31: If a variable x does not occur in a statement \phi , then x does not occur quantified in \phi .

Proof: We know by [30] that x occurs in \phi precisely if it occurs free or occurs quantified, or both, in \phi . Thus, if x does not occur in \phi then it cannot possibly occur quantified in \phi either. \square
