Example of Bound Variable

In the existential statement:

$\exists x: \map P x$

the symbol $x$ is a bound variable.

Thus, the meaning of $\exists x: \map P x$ does not change if $x$ is replaced by another symbol.

That is, $\exists x: \map P x$ means the same thing as $\exists y: \map P y$ or $\exists \alpha: \map P \alpha$. And so on.
