the [[quantifier]] used to express, given a [[predicate]] $\phi$ with a [[free variable]] $x$ of [[type]] $T$, the [[proposition]] \begin{displaymath} \forall\, x\colon T, \phi x \,, \end{displaymath} which is intended to be [[true]] if and only if $\phi a$ is true for every possible element $a$ of $T$. Note that it is quite possible that $\phi a$ may be provable (in a given [[context]]) for every \emph{[[term]]} $a$ of type $T$ that can actually be constructed in that context yet $\forall x\colon T, \phi x$ cannot be proved. Therefore, we cannot define the quantifier by taking the idea literally and applying it to terms. \hypertarget{definition}{}\subsection*{{Definition}}\label{definition} We work in a [[logic]] in which we are concerned with which [[propositions]] entail which propositions (in a given [[context]]); in particular, two propositions which entail each other are considered equivalent. Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary [[context]] and $T$ a [[type]] in $\Gamma$ so that $\Delta \coloneqq \Gamma, x\colon T$ is $\Gamma$ extended by a [[free variable]] $x$ of type $T$. We assume that we have a [[weakening]] principle that allows us to interpret any proposition $Q$ in $\Gamma$ as a proposition $Q[\hat{x}]$ in $\Delta$. Fix a proposition $P$ in $\Delta$, which we think of as a [[predicate]] in $\Gamma$ with the free variable $x$. Then the \textbf{universal quantification} of $P$ is any proposition $\forall\, x\colon T, P$ in $\Gamma$ such that, given any proposition $Q$ in $\Gamma$, we have \begin{itemize}% \item $Q \vdash_{\Gamma}\forall\, x\colon T, P$ if and only if $Q[\hat{x}] \vdash_{\Gamma, x\colon T} P$. \end{itemize} It is then a theorem that the universal quantification of $P$, if it exists, is unique. The existence is typically asserted as an axiom in a particular logic, but this may be also be deduced from other principles (as in the topos-theoretic discussion below). Often one makes the appearance of the free variable in $P$ explicit by thinking of $P$ as a [[propositional function]] and writing $P(x)$ instead; to go along with this one usually conflates $Q$ and $Q[\hat{x}]$. Then the rule appears as follows: \begin{itemize}% \item $Q \vdash_{\Gamma}\forall\, x\colon T, P(x)$ if and only if $Q \vdash_{\Gamma, x\colon T} P(x)$. \end{itemize} In terms of [[semantics]] (as for example topos-theoretic semantics; see the next section), the weakening from $Q$ to $Q[\hat{x}]$ corresponds to [[pullback|pulling back]] along a [[product]] projection $\sigma(T) \times A \to A$, where $\sigma(T)$ is the interpretation of the type $T$, and $A$ is the interpretation of $\Gamma$. In other words, if a statement $Q$ read in context $\Gamma$ is interpreted as a [[subobject]] of $A$, then the statement $Q$ read in context $\Delta = \Gamma, x \colon T$ is interpreted by pulling back along the projection, obtaining a subobject of $\sigma(T) \times A$. As observed by [[Lawvere]], we are not particularly constrained to product projections; we can pull back along any map $f \colon B \to A$. (Often we have a class of [[display maps]] and require $f$ to be one of these.) Alternatively, any pullback functor $f^\ast\colon Set/A \to Set/B$ can be construed as pulling back along an object $X = (f \colon B \to A)$, i.e., along the unique map $!\colon X \to 1$ corresponding to an object $X$ in the slice $Set/A$, since we have the identification $Set/B \simeq (Set/A)/X$. \hypertarget{in_topos_theory__in_terms_of_adjunctions}{}\subsection*{{In topos theory / in terms of adjunctions}}\label{in_topos_theory__in_terms_of_adjunctions} In terms of the [[internal logic]] in some ambient [[topos]] $\mathcal{E}$, \begin{itemize}% \item a [[type]] $X$ is given by an [[object]] $X \in \mathcal{E}$, \item the [[predicate]] $\phi$ is a [[(-1)-truncated]] object of the [[over-topos]] $\mathcal{E}/X$; \item a [[truth value]] is a [[(-1)-truncated]] object of $\mathcal{E}$ itself. \end{itemize} Universal quantification is essentially the restriction of the [[direct image]] [[right adjoint]] of a canonical [[étale geometric morphism]] $X_\ast$, \begin{displaymath} \mathcal{E}/X \stackrel{\overset{X_!}{\to}}{\stackrel{\overset{X^*}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{X_*}{\to}}} \mathcal{E} \,, \end{displaymath} where $X^\ast$ is the functor that takes an object $A$ to the [[product]] projection $\pi \colon X \times A \to X$, where $X_! = \Sigma_X$ is the [[dependent sum]] (i.e., forgetful functor taking $f \colon A \to X$ to $A$) that is left adjoint to $X^\ast$, and where $X_\ast = \Pi_X$ is the [[dependent product]] operation that is right adjoint to $X^\ast$. The dependent product operation restricts to [[propositions]] by pre- and postcomposition with the [[truncated|truncation]] [[adjunctions]] \begin{displaymath} \tau_{\leq -1} \mathcal{E} \stackrel{\overset{\tau_{\leq -1}}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{}{\hookrightarrow}} \mathcal{E} \end{displaymath} to give universal quantification over the domain (or context) $X$: \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ \mathcal{E}/X & \stackrel{\overset{X_!}{\to}}{\stackrel{\overset{X^*}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{X_*}{\to}}} & \mathcal{E} \\ {}^\mathllap{\tau_{\leq_{-1}}}\downarrow \uparrow && {}^\mathllap{\tau_{\leq_{-1}}}\downarrow \uparrow \\ \tau_{\leq_{-1}} \mathcal{E}/X & \stackrel{\overset{\exists_X}{\to}}{\stackrel{\overset{}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{\forall_X}{\to}}} & \tau_{\leq_{-1}}\mathcal{E} } \,. \end{displaymath} Dually, the extra [[left adjoint]] $\exists_X$, obtained from the dependent sum $X_!$ by pre- and post-composition with the truncation adjunctions, expresses the [[existential quantifier]]. (The situation with the universal quantifier is somewhat simpler than for the existential one, since the dependent product automatically preserves $(-1)$-truncated objects (= subterminal objects), whereas the dependent sum does not.) The same makes sense, verbatim, also in the [[(∞,1)-logic]] of any [[(∞,1)-topos]]. This interpretation of universal quantification as the right adjoint to context extension is also used in the notion of \emph{[[hyperdoctrine]]}. \hypertarget{examples}{}\subsection*{{Examples}}\label{examples} Let $\mathcal{E} =$ [[Set]], let $X = \mathbb{N}$ be the set of [[natural number]]s and let $\phi \coloneqq 2\mathbb{N} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{N}$ be the [[subset]] of even natural numbers. This expresses the [[proposition]] $\phi(x) \coloneqq IsEven(x)$. Then the [[dependent product]] \begin{displaymath} (\phi \in Set/{\mathbb{N}}) \mapsto (\prod_{x\colon X} \phi(x) \in Set) \end{displaymath} is the set of [[section]]s of the [[bundle]] $2 \mathbb{N} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{N}$. But since over odd numbers the [[fiber]] of this bundle is the [[empty set]], there is no possible value of such a section and hence the set of sections is itself the [[empty set]], so the statement ``all natural numbers are even'' is, indeed, [[false]]. \hypertarget{related_concepts}{}\subsection*{{Related concepts}}\label{related_concepts} \begin{itemize}% \item [[necessity]] \item [[existential quantifier]] \item [[generalized quantifier]] \end{itemize} [[!include logic symbols -- table]] \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} The observation that [[substitution]] forms an [[adjoint pair]]/[[adjoint triple]] with the existential/universal quantifiers is due to \begin{itemize}% \item [[William Lawvere]], \emph{Adjointness in Foundations}, (\href{http://www.emis.de/journals/TAC/reprints/articles/16/tr16abs.html}{tac:16}), Dialectica 23 (1969), 281-296 \item [[William Lawvere]], \emph{Quantifiers and sheaves}, Actes, Congr\`e{}s intern, math., 1970.
