Here is a proof that the rule “If \(\forall x (A \vee B(x))\) is a theorem, so is \(A \vee \forall x B(x)\)” (where \(x\) is not free in \(A)\) is not admissible for \(\mathbf{HA},\) if \(\mathbf{HA}\) is consistent. Gödel numbering provides a quantifier-free formula \(G(x)\) which (numeralwise) expresses the predicate “\(x\) is the code of a proof in \(\mathbf{HA}\) of \((0 = 1).\)” By intuitionistic logic with the decidability of quantifier-free arithmetical formulas, \(\mathbf{HA}\) proves \(
