THIS IS A REWORKING OF THE MAIN TEMPLATES FROM THE FIRST SECTION OF
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2014-November/018406.html

We have reorganized the critical leadoff motivating Templates for this
entire line of investigation. Recall from
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2014-November/018406.html

We now prefer to present these two critical motivating Templates first.

TEMPLATE A. Let E be an order theoretic equivalence relation on
Q[0,1]^k. Every order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has an E
invariant maximal root.

TEMPLATE B. Let E be an order theoretic equivalence relation on
Q[0,1]^k. For all order theoretic E_1,...,E_r isomorphic to E, every
order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has an E_1,...,E_r invariant
maximal root.

We know that large cardinals are necessary to completely analyze
Template A, and conjecture that they are necessary and sufficient. We
know that large cardinals are necessary and sufficient to completely
analyze Template B.

Here are two more templates using relations instead of equivalence
relations. We obtain the same results and make the same conjecture.

TEMPLATE C. Let P be an order theoretic relation on Q[0,1]^k. Every
order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its
P image.

TEMPLATE D.  Let P be an order theoretic relation on Q[0,1^k. For all
order theoretic P_1,...,P_r isomorphic to P, every order invariant
relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its P_1,...,P_r
images.

Here are another two using functions. We obtain the same results and
make the same conjecture.

TEMPLATE E. Let F:Q[0,1]^k into Q[0,1]^k be order theoretic. Every
order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its
F image.

TEMPLATE F. Let F:Q[0,1]^k into Q[0,1]^k be order theoretic. For all
order theoretic F_1,...,F_r isomorphic to F, every order invariant
relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its F_1,...,F_r
images.

We can also use relations on Q[0,1] and its images acting
coordinatewise. We obtain the same results and make the same
conjecture, - slightly modified to take into account that the
statements quantify over k.

TEMPLATE G. Let P_1,...,P_r be order theoretic relations on Q[0,1].
Every order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root
containing its P_1,...,P_r images.

TEMPLATE H. Let P be an order theoretic relation on Q[0,1]. For all
order theoretic P_1,...,P_r isomorphic to P, every order invariant
relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its P_1,...,P_r
images.

We also can use one dimensional functions. We obtain the same results
and make the same conjecture as we did for relations on Q[0,1].

TEMPLATE I. Let f_1,...,f_r:Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be order theoretic.
Every order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root
containing its f_1,...,f_r images.

TEMPLATE J. Let f:Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be order theoretic. For all order
theoretic f_1,...,f_r isomorphic to f, every order invariant relation
on Q[0,1]^k has a maximal root containing its f_1,...,f_r images.

If we restrict the above Templates to upward E's, P's, F's, f's, then
large cardinals are necessary and sufficient for complete
analyzability.

We still emphasize the use of sections and liftings under Spectifics.

In the statements involving the upper shift and reductions, as we have
seen before, large cardinals are generally necessary and sufficient to
analyze all of the relevant templates.

Although we now have a very good statement equivalent to Con(HUGE), in
Proposition 4.2 of
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2014-November/018412.html , we
don't as of yet have an explicitly Pi01 statement equivalent to
Con(HUGE) that meets current standards. We are now working with a
sequential process that holds promise.
