So basically, two statements are being compared (and said to be equivalent) by the equals sign.
The first statement is "All x: Die(x)." For every x, x dies. Or, replacing the label 'x' by the label 'that person': Every person dies.
The second statement is "Not exist x: Not Die(x)." There does not exist a person who doesn't die.
This equation describes the fact that if nobody's immortal, everyone dies.
