We continue with the organized presentation of Emulation Theory.

EMULATION THEORY
Below will organize, as FOM postings, the contents of a ms. to be
placed on my website, and to appear in some form in a planned volume
in honor of Putnam. This ms. will contain proofs other than reversals.
Reversals will appear in a much expanded ms. later as a high priority,
and will form the book CONCRETE MATHEMATICAL INCOMPLETENESS, when
combined with the BOOLEAN RELATION THEORY ms. currently on my website.

We now update our inventory of versions of MEE from 756: Large
Cardinals and Emulations/36. MEE/2 completely handles the finite case,
with MEE/1 handling a lot of the multiple finite case. All of the
seven versions below are implicitly Pi01 via the Goedel Completeness
Theorem.

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING/3. MEE/3. A bicontinuous order theoretic
f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] is ME embed usable if and only if it is strictly
increasing, and
i. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps 0 to p and q to 1.
ii. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps p to 0 and 1 to q.

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING/4. MEE/4. Every strictly increasing
continuous order theoretic f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] not altering 0,1 is
ME embed usable.

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING/5. MEE/5. An f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1]
finitely extending the identity on some [0,p) U (q,1] is ME embed
usable if and only if it is strictly increasing, and
i. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps 0 to p and q to 1.
ii. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps p to 0 and 1 to q.

MEE/3,4 are provable in ZC and we expect that they are not provable in
WZC. MEE/3 was proved in ZC in
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2017-March/020411.html MEE/5 is
provably equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0.

Recall dominating (regressive) means p in dom(f) implies f(p) >= p
(f(p) <= p). MEE/3,4 are provable in ZC and likely not in WZC (MEE/3
proved in http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2017-March/020411.html).
We will show that MEE/5 is provably equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0.

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING6. MEE/6. An order theoretic f::Q[0,1] into
Q[0,1] is ME embed usable if and only if it is strictly increasing,
and
i. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps 0 to p and q to 1.
ii. There is no 0 < p,q < 1 such that f maps p to 0 and 1 to q.

We do not know anything about the status of MEE/6 other than that
it immediately implies MEE/5, and therefore implies Con(SRP) over
WKL_0.

We believe that MEE/6 is refutable in RCA_0, and that there are some
natural categories of order theoretic f for which MEE/6 is provably
equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0, in addition to MEE/5. Our ignorance
here is rather astounding.

We now prove MEE/4 in ZC.

LEMMA 3.1.13. (RCA_0) Let f_1,...,f_n::Q[0,1) into Q[0,1) be strictly
increasing, strictly dominating, finite, and defined at 0. There are
respective extensions f_1',...,f_n'::Q[0,1) into Q[0,1) with these
same properties, which are Q[0,1] isomorphic.

Proof: Will appear in the ms. QED

LEMMA 3.3.14. (RCA_0) Let f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be strictly
increasing, finite, and with no fixed points. Then f is uniquely
decomposed into f_1 U. ... U. f_n, from left to right, n >= 0, where
the f's are nonempty and alternate between strictly regressive and
strictly dominating. There are respective extensions f_1',...,f_n' of
f_1,...,f_n, so that f' = f_1' U. ... U. f_n' and f_1',...,f_n' have
these same properties, and where all of the strictly regressive ones
are reverse Q[0,1] isomorphic to all of the strictly dominating ones.

Proof: Will appear in the ms. QED

LEMMA 3.3.15. (RCA_0) Let f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be order theoretic,
strictly increasing, continuous, and not alter 0,1. Then f can be
extended to a strictly increasing continuous function which is Q[0,1]
isomorphic to a function of the form G U. h, where
i. G is the identity on [0,1/(2n+1) U (1/2n,1/(2n-1) U ... U (1/2,1],
n >= 1, h is finite with no fixed points, h = h_1 U. h_2 U. ... U.
h_2n, h's from left to right, alternating between strictly regressive
and strictly dominating, starting with strictly regressive, all of the
strictly regressive ones are reverse Q[0,1] isomorphic to all of the
strictly dominating ones, where all of the endpoints except 0,1 lie in
fld(h).

Proof: Will appear in the ms. QED

REGARDING PROOF OF MEE/3 IN ZC in
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2017-March/020411.html The way we
presented it, we were not clear about the choice of cardinal lambda.
We use there a finite set of first order indiscernibles for
(V(lambda),epsilon), where the indiscernibles are ordinals < lambda,
using the Erdos Rado theorem. This is just fine in ZFC where we take
lambda to be beth_omega. However, this is way more than ZC. To keep it
in ZC we need to replace ordinals with well orderings. As an
approximate step that goes a little bit beyond ZC, we can use
transfinite recursion along an initial well ordering of V(omega +
omega) and still apply Erdos Rado. We can stay within ZC by using the
V(omega + n), n < omega, which are handled adequately within ZC.

LEMMA 3.3.16. (ZC) Let f be as in i of Lemma 3.3.15. Then f is ME embed usable.

Proof: We think of lambda in terms of an initial well ordering of
V(omega + omega) for application of the Erdos Rado theorem. Let f = G
U. h, where G is the identity on [0,1/(2n+1) U (1/2n,1/(2n-1) U ... U
(1/2,1], n >= 1, h is finite with no fixed points, h = h_1 U. h_2 U.
... U. h_2n as in i of Lemma 3.3.15.

Let D = -Q(0,1] U +-({1} x lambda x Q[0,1))) U {1} x Q(0,1) U +-({2} x
lambda x Q[0,1))) U {2} x Q(0,1) U ... U +-({n} x lambda x Q[0,1))) U
Q(0,1]. Here +-({i} x lambda x Q[0,1)) = -({i} x lambda x Q[0,1)) U
({i} x lambda x Q[0,1)), where -({i} x lambda x Q[0,1)) = {-x: x in
{i} x lambda x Q[0,1) and x not= (0,0,0)}, and where the minus sign
remains outside. <D orders D as follows. First this union is from left
to right. -Q[0,1) is ordered with the usual ordering on negative
rationals, and Q(0,1] is by the usual ordering on rationals. {i} x
lambda x Q[0,1) is ordered lexicographically, and -({i} x lambda x
Q[0,1)) is by the reverse after removing -.

As before, we need an associated well ordering <#. We use a recursive
ordering Q[0,1)' of type omega with least element 0. First -Q[0,1) by
Q[0,1)' after removing -. Then Q[0,1) by Q[0,1)'. Finally, the signed
triples. First by the ordinal. Then by the integer. Then by whether
the signed triple is negative or positive (negative before positive).
Then by the rational after removing - (using Q[0,1)'). Finally let
<#^k be the ordering on D^k first by the max of the k coordinates
according to <#, and then lexicographically on the k coordinates
according to <#.

Let E containedin Q[0,1]^k and r >= 1. Let S* containedin D^k be the
greedy maximal r-emulation with respect to <#^k. Then S* is first
order definable over (V(omega+omega,epsilon) with no parameters. Let
kappa_1 < ... < kappa_t be indiscernibles for (V(omega+omega,epsilon),
where |h| = 2tn.

We now want to lift f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] to f*::D into D. We lift the
n+1 intervals of dom(G) to the intervals [-1,0),  [0,1/(2n+1)) to the
interval [-1,0) in <D, and the interval (1/2,1] to (0,1] in <D. We now
lift the 2tn elements of fld(h). The 2t elements of fld(h_i) are
lifted to  (i,-(kappa_t,0)), (i,-(kappa_t-1,0)), ...,
(i,-(kappa_1,0)), (i,(kappa_1,0)), ..., (i,(kappa_t,0)), from left to
right. The n-1 middle intervals in dom(G) are the corresponding open
intervals in <D. The function f is lifted by application.

We claim that our maximal r-emulation of E, S containedin D^k, is
f*-embedded. Here we crucially need the reverse isomorphisms from Lemma 3.3.15i.

Now look at the system (D,<D,S*,f*), Note that <D is a dense linear
ordering with left endpoint -1, right endpoint 1. We let D* be the
elements of D whose ordinal is < kappa_t, together with those whose
ordinal is kappa_t and rational is 0. Let  <D* be <D restricted to D*.
Note that <D* is a dense linear ordering with the same endpoints, and
is also the initial segment of <# up through (n,kappa_t,0). Note that
f*::D* into D*. Also by the greedy construction of S*, we see that S*
intersect D*^k containedin D*^k is a maximal r-emulation of E.

We now form (D*,<D*,S* intersect D*^k,f*), pass to a countable
subsystem (D**,<D**,S* intersect D**^k,f*), and pull this back down to
(Q[0,1],<,S,f) as before by any strictly increasing bijection from
(D*,<D*) onto (Q[0,1],<). Then S is a maximal r-emulation of E which
is f-embedded. QED

Proof of MEE/4: In ZC .By Lemmas 3.3.15 and 3.3.16. QED

We now come to MEE/5.

LEMMA 3.3.17. (RCA_0) MEE/5 implies Con(SRP). The forward direction of
MEE/5 holds.

Proof: Assume MEE/5. The functions h_k:Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] are strictly
increasing finite extensions of the identity on [0,1/k) U (1,1]. Hence
MED/1, and so Con(SRP). We have already proved the forward direction
of MEE/5. QED

LEMMA 3.3.18. (RCA_0) Let f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be as in MEE/5. Then f
can be extended to a strictly increasing function which is Q[0,1]
isomorphic or Q[0,1] reverse isomorphic to a function of the form G U.
h, where
i. G is the identity on [0,1/3) and finite h alters 1/2,1.
ii. G is the identity on (0,1/3]  U (1/2,1] and finite h alters 1/3,1/2.
iii. f is finite and i,ii of MEE/5 hold.

LEMMA 3.3.19. (WKL_0 + Con(SRP)). Every f of form i,ii in Lemma 3.3.18
is ME embed usable.

Proof: For i, <# starts with the left endpoint of D and goes forward
transfinitely below a suitable large cardinal lambda. <# is according
to ordinal first, then element of Q[0,1) using an enumeration of type
omega. Then the greedy maximal r-emulation S* is definable over
V(lambda,epsilon) without parameters Let |h| = t. Assign to the
elements of fld(h) he first point whose ordinals are respectively the
first t strong indiscernibles < lambda. Cut S* back to the initial
segment of <# using ordinals < kappa_t plus the first point using
ordinal kappa_t.

For ii, <# starts with a copy of (1/2,1], using omega steps, and then
proceeds as in case i above starting with 0 and proceeding
transfinitely. Then argue the same way using the strong
indiscernibles.

For iii, use previous theorem. QED

Proof of MEE/5: In WKL_0 + Con(SRP). By Lemmas 3.3.17-3.3.19. QED

TO BE CONTINUED. We will next look at very special cases of piecewise
translations f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1].
