THIS POSTING IS ENTIRELY SELF CONTAINED

We continue to polish
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2016-May/019837.html Here are the
new decisions.

For Implicitly Pi01:

c. Change the wording to "agreeing at (0,...,k-1) and (1,...,k)".
Purely notational.

For explicitly Pi01:

We have now chosen to leverage off of the setup for the implicitly
Pi01 above. We now use the finite subspaces RPF[k;n,m] of RPF[k] under
r-similarity.  We ask for a maximal element with the same conclusion
as before.

What's new here is that I use inclusion maximality both for the
implicitly and explicitly Pi01 statements.

1. IMPLICITLY Pi01

DEFINITION 1.1. Q,Z,N is the set of all rationals, integers,
nonnegative integers, respectively. We use p,q for rationals and
n,m,r,s,t for positive integers, with and without subscripts, unless
otherwise indicated. Let x,y be tuples from Q. x <,>,<=,>= y if and
only if every coordinate of x is <,>,<=,>= every coordinate of y. x,y
are order equivalent if and only if x,y are of the same length, and
for all 1 <= i,j <= lth(x), x[i] < x[j] iff y[i] < y[j].

DEFINITION 1.2. RPF[k] is the set of all partial f:Q^k|<=k into
Q^k|<=k such that for all x in dom(f), f(x) < x. f,g in RPF[k] are
similar if and only if every (x,y,gx,gy) is order equivalent to some
(x,y,fx,fy) . Maximality of elements of K containedin RPF[k] refers to
inclusion maximality of the functions as sets (graphs of the
functions)

Here RPF is read "regressive partial functions".

Note that similarity indicates a sameness in some of the order
theoretic patterns that appear in f,g.

THEOREM 1.1. Similarity on RPF[k] is an equivalence relation with
finitely many equivalence classes. Each has a maximal element.

So we have partitioned our space RPF[k] naturally into finitely many
parts, each of which has a maximal element. We claim that these
maximal elements can be chosen to exhibit a certain simple symmetry.

SYMMETRIC MAXIMALITY. SM. In every equivalence class of RPF[k] under
similarity, some maximal element agrees at (0,...,k-1) and (1,...,k).

THEOREM 1.2. Symmetric Maximality is provably equivalent to a Pi01
sentence via the Goedel Completeness Theorem.

THEOREM 1.3. Symmetric Maximality is provably equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0.

There is an obvious generalization of similarity to r-similarity.

DEFINITION 1.3. f,g in RPF[k] are r-similar if and only if every
(x_1,...,x_r,g(x_1),...,g(x_r)) is order equivalent to some
(y_1,...,y_r,f(y_1),...,f(y_r)).

The above results hold with similarity replaced by r-similarity.

2.  EXPLICITLY Pi01

DEFINITION 2.1. The height of a finite set of tuples from Q is the
least t such that the coordinates of all of its elements can be
expressed as a ratio between integers of magnitude <= t. RPF[k;n,m] is
the set of all f in RPF[k] such that the height of f|N^k is <= n and
the height of f is <= m.

FINITE SYMMETRIC MAXIMALITY. FSM. In every equivalence class of
RPF[k;(8k)!,(8k)!!] under k-similarity, some maximal element agrees at
(0,...,k-1) and (1,...,k).

Obviously Finite Symmetric Maximality is explicitly Pi01.

THEOREM 2.1. Finite Symmetric Optimality is provably equivalent to
Con(SRP) over EFA.

3. COMMENTS

This should now be enough for me to stop making any further
simplifications. The reversals are now stacked up quite high with
recent new ideas. I am still looking to the end of 2016 for a detailed
proof of the theorems in this posting.
