=== Other connectives === The universal (and existential) quantifier moves unchanged across the [[logical connective]]s [[logical conjunction|β§]], [[logical disjunction|β¨]], [[material conditional|β]], and [[converse nonimplication|β]], as long as the other operand is not affected;<ref>that is, if the variable <math>y</math> does not occur free in the formula <math>P(x)</math> in the equivalences below</ref> that is: :<math>\begin{align} P(x) \land (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \land Q(y)) \\ P(x) \lor (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \lor Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \to (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \to Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \nleftarrow (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \nleftarrow Q(y)) \\ P(x) \land (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \land Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \lor (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \lor Q(y)) \\ P(x) \to (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \to Q(y)) \\ P(x) \nleftarrow (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) &\equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \nleftarrow Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \end{align}</math> Conversely, for the logical connectives [[Sheffer stroke|β]], [[Logical NOR|β]], [[Material nonimplication|β]], and [[converse implication|β]], the quantifiers flip: :<math>\begin{align} P(x) \uparrow (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \uparrow Q(y)) \\ P(x) \downarrow (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \downarrow Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \nrightarrow (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \nrightarrow Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \gets (\exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \gets Q(y)) \\ P(x) \uparrow (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \uparrow Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ P(x) \downarrow (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \downarrow Q(y)) \\ P(x) \nrightarrow (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \nrightarrow Q(y)) \\ P(x) \gets (\forall{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, Q(y)) & \equiv\ \exists{y}{\in}\mathbf{Y}\, (P(x) \gets Q(y)),& \text{provided that } \mathbf{Y}\neq \emptyset \\ \end{align}</math> <!-- What about: *[[logical biconditional|Biconditional (if and only if) (xnor)]] (<math>\leftrightarrow</math>, <math>\equiv</math>, or <math>=</math>) *[[Exclusive or|Exclusive disjunction (xor)]] (<math>\not\leftrightarrow</math>) -->
