Atomic diagrams of finite tuples #
atomicDiagram a is the countable conjunction of the atomic tests true of a and the
negations of the tests false of a. For a relational language, a tuple in any other structure
realizes this formula exactly when it has the same atomic type. The tuple occupies bound-variable
slots, with no free variables. Nullary relations are retained even when the tuple is empty.
This is the initial approximation in the construction of characteristic formulas for tuples.
For a finite relation language, firstOrderAtomicDiagram a is the same conjunction as a
first-order formula.
The construction follows the atomic-diagram construction in Cameron Freer's
cameronfreer/infinitary-logic, InfinitaryLogic/Scott/AtomicDiagram.lean at checkpoint
9f82bd572af2d79a043c6bc3f1b745f14e0bcaa4; here tuples occupy bound positions rather than
free variables. See also Dana Scott, Logic with denumerably long formulas and finite strings
of quantifiers (1965).
The finitary atomic formula testing equality or a relation on bound-variable positions.
Instances For
The formula for an atomic test realizes precisely that test.
For a finite relation language, the finite conjunction of the atomic tests true of a tuple
and the negations of the tests false of it. Unlike atomicDiagram, this is a first-order
formula.
Instances For
The first-order atomic diagram is the finite conjunction of signed atomic formulas.
Over a finite relational language, the first-order atomic diagram characterizes atomic-type agreement in every structure.
The signed conjunction of all equality and relation tests on a tuple's positions. For a relational language this is its complete atomic diagram.
Instances For
The atomic diagram is a coded conjunction of signed atomic formulas.
Over a relational language, the atomic diagram characterizes atomic-type agreement in every structure, without a countability assumption on the realizing structure.
