SUMMARY

The inequality x >= y signifies that for all values of x and y, x is greater than or equal to y. This means that for any pair (x, y), the relationship x >= y is consistently true. The discussion emphasizes the universal quantification of the inequality, indicating its applicability across all possible values of x and y.

∀x∀y (x >= y)

For all $x$ and for all $y,$ $x$ is greater or equal than $y.$
 
For any pair $$(x,y)$$ the inequality $$x\geq y$$ holds.
