The Existential Quantifier in Equideductive Logic

This paper defines a weak “existential quantifier” in equideductive logic. This quantifier agrees with the epis in an equideductive category, which form a factorisation system together with the partial product inclusions. Such a category also has stable disjoint coproducts.

This paper begins with a rapid survey of the many different meaning that have been given to the existential quantifier in various forms of symbolic and categorical logic. I would appreciate comments on this historical material as well as on the main subject matter of the paper.
