There is an error in the Pi01 sentences.

We are persuaded now to use independent sets.

We think that the new statement is preferable to the old, incorrect,  
statements.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

1. CORRECTED Pi01 STATEMENT.

Let R containedin [1,r]^4k. We say that R is upwards iff for all x in  
[1,r]^3k, y in [1,r]^k, R(x,y) implies |x| < |y|. Here | | is the sup  
norm. We say that R is order invariant if and only if R is order  
invariant as a set of 4k-tuples in the usual sense.

For A containedin [1,r]^k, we write RA = {w in [1,r]^k: there exists  
x,y,z in [1,r]^k with R(x,y,z,w)}.

We say that A containedin [1,r]^4k is R independent if and only if for  
all x,y,z,w in A, not R(x,y,z,w). I.e., A intersect RA is empty.

We write A\p for A\{p}^k.

PROPOSITION A. For all r,p >= (8k)!, every upwards order invariant R  
containedin [1,r]^4k has an independent A, where RRA,RR(A 
\p),R(A'),R(A'\p) all contain the same k dimensional powers of p+1.

THEOREM. Proposition is equivalent, over EFA, to the consistency of  
ZFC with Mahlo cardinals of every finite order.

2. TEMPLATING THE Pi01 STATEMENT.

GENERAL TEMPLATE. For all r,p >= (8k)!, every upwards order invariant  
R containedin
[1,r]^4k has an independent A, where various expressions involving  
R,A,p, contain the same k dimensional powers of (8k)!.

We can first take the space of expressions to be generated as follows:

i. A is an expression.
ii. if alpha is an expression, then alpha', R(alpha), alpha\p are  
expressions.

After this is analyzed, we can throw Boolean operations into the mix.
