Translating formulas of the graph language back into the original language #
BoundedFormulaInf.backTranslate sends an infinitary formula of the graph language
L.graphLanguage to a formula of L: an atom G_f(x₀, …, x_{k-1}, y) of the graph relation of
a function symbol f becomes the equation f(x₀, …, x_{k-1}) = y, a base atom R(xs) becomes
R(xs), and connectives and quantifiers are translated structurally. The graph language has no
function symbols, so its terms are variables and are sent to the same variables
(Term.backTranslate). The translation works over any branching carrier.
Over the graph expansion of an L-structure, the back-translation of a formula is realized
exactly when the formula is (BoundedFormulaInf.realize_backTranslate). The function symbols of
the back-translation are the f whose graph relation occurs in the formula, and its relation
symbols are the base symbols occurring in it (BoundedFormulaInf.functionsIn_backTranslate,
BoundedFormulaInf.relationsIn_backTranslate). So a formula of the graph language all of whose
relation symbols lie in relSym F R back-translates to a formula of L whose function symbols
lie in F and whose relation symbols lie in R.
This is how a formula found in the graph language, for example an interpolant produced by a
theorem about relational languages, returns to L with control of its symbols. Composed with the
translation BoundedFormulaInf.relationalize, it gives back a formula with the same realization
as the original in every L-structure (BoundedFormulaInf.realize_backTranslate_relationalize)
and, by the occurrence calculus with relationsIn_relationalize, the same symbols; the two
formulas are not claimed to be syntactically equal.

Divergences: the back-translation is defined over an arbitrary branching carrier, with languages, variables and structures in arbitrary universes.
A term of the graph language as a term of L. The graph language has no function symbols, so
every one of its terms is a variable, and it is sent to the same variable.
Instances For
A term of the graph language takes the same value as its back-translation, over the graph expansion.
The back-translation of a term of the graph language mentions no function symbol.
The back-translation of an infinitary formula of the graph language of L into L. The
graph relation G_f of a k-ary function symbol f, applied to x₀, …, x_{k-1}, y, becomes the
equation f(x₀, …, x_{k-1}) = y; base atoms and equations keep their symbols, and connectives
and quantifiers are translated structurally.
Instances For
A graph atom G_f(t₀, …, t_{k-1}, t_k) back-translates to the equation
f(t₀, …, t_{k-1}) = t_k.
The back-translation preserves truth: over the graph expansion of an L-structure, the
back-translation of a formula of the graph language is realized exactly when the formula is.
Translating a formula of L into the graph language and back preserves its realization in
every L-structure.
The function symbols of the back-translation of a formula are the function symbols whose graph relation occurs in it.
The relation symbols of the back-translation of a formula are the relation symbols whose base symbol occurs in it. Graph atoms become equations, which contribute no relation symbol.
