let H be ZF-formula; :: thesis: for x, y being Variable holds
( H is negative iff H / (x,y) is negative )

let x, y be Variable; :: thesis: ( H is negative iff H / (x,y) is negative )
thus ( H is negative implies H / (x,y) is negative ) :: thesis: ( H / (x,y) is negative implies H is negative )
proof
given H1 being ZF-formula such that A1: H = 'not' H1 ; :: according to ZF_LANG:def 12 :: thesis: H / (x,y) is negative
H / (x,y) = 'not' (H1 / (x,y)) by A1, Th156;
hence H / (x,y) is negative ; :: thesis: verum
end;
assume H / (x,y) is negative ; :: thesis: H is negative
then A2: (H / (x,y)) . 1 = 2 by ZF_LANG:20;
3 <= len H by ZF_LANG:13;
then 1 <= len H by XXREAL_0:2;
then A3: 1 in dom H by FINSEQ_3:25;
y <> 2 by Th135;
then H . 1 <> x by A2, A3, Def3;
then 2 = H . 1 by A2, A3, Def3;
hence H is negative by ZF_LANG:26; :: thesis: verum
