Uniquity or Uniquitive? Either of these terms a better choice than Uniqueness? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.207.133.114 (talk) 18:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Uniqueness irrespective of existence

[edit source]

"Existence/expressibility must be proven before uniqueness" — Really? No; uniqueness means "at most one such object" and is well-defined separately from existence that means "at least one such object". It is legitimate to prove uniqueness assuming the existence of those two quantities to begin with; indeed, if existence fails then uniqueness cannot be violated, anyway! And we mathematicians do so routinely. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 18:38, 19 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Of course you are correct, Boris. I noticed this as well and rewrote the example so that it no longer states this (among other changes). —Toby Bartels (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

negation

[edit source]
