 <p><strong>Theorem</strong>:  <em>The identity function exists; that is, for some f, f(x) =x for all x. </em></p>
 <p>This example mainly is just a test that lambda unification is working correctly. We put in X(a) != a, and the logical axiom x=x, and when these two clauses are resolved, lambda unification is called to unify X(a) and a. It is supposed to find X = lambda(x,x), and it does. </p>
 <p>It's worth remarking that the use of x=x indicates that we are using &quot;total&quot; lambda calculus, in which Ap(f,x) is always defined, rather than &quot;partial&quot; lambda calculus, in which Ap(f,x) need not always be defined. To make this proof work with partial lambda logic, we would replace x = x with </p>
 <p>-E(x) | x =x.</p>
 <p>We would then have to explicitly add E(a) as an axiom.</p>
