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.

DEFINITION 3.3.8. f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] is (closed) rational piecewise
linear if and only if it is the finite union of rational affine
functions on (closed) rational intervals.

MEE/7. A closed rational piecewise linear f::Q[0,1] into Q]0,1] is ME
embed usable fi 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/7 is provable in ACA'. The idea is to adapt the previous proof of
this same statement where f is finite. Let f be the closed rational
piecewise linear function and f' be its appropriate finite restriction
from which it is "generated". Recall that we went to an infinite
iterative version of a maximal r-emulation S* of a given E containedin
Q[0,1]^k which is f'*-embedded, where f'* lifts f' to the infinite
iterative setting, and then apply Ramsey's theorem to cut this down to
the appropriate endpoints, S**. Here we assume that we are working
within a nonstandard setting so that the finite f'* can be extended to
an automorphism f'*# of the maximal r-emulation. This automorphism
must look like an extension of f. So when we push (Q[a,b]*,<,f'*#,S*)
back down to Q[0,1], we can arrive at (Q[0,1],<,f,S).

It has been rather difficult to make substantial progress on the ME
embed usability of rational piecewise linear functions.

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING/8. MEE/8. The following rational piecewise
linear function is ME embed usable. f(p) = p if 0 <= p < 1/2; p/2 +
1/4 if 1/2 < p <= 1.

Note that this simple rational piecewise linear function becomes
simpler if we move from Q[0,1] to Q[-1,1].

MAXIMAL EMULATION EMBEDDING/9. MEE/9. Using Q[-1,1], the following
rational piecewise linear function is ME embed usable. f(p) = p if -1
<= p < 0; p/2 if 0 < p <= 1.

Obviously MEE/8 and MEE/9 are provably equivalent over RCA_0.

Proof of MEE/9: It is more convenient to use the inverse function g(p)
= p if -1 <= p < 0; 2p if 0 < p <= 1.

In WKL_0 + Con(MAH). Let T = ZFC + V = L + {c_i: i in
Z} is a medium strong set of indiscernibles. Here medium strong means
ordinal indiscernibles with respect to all formulas with parameters
below any indiscernible below the indiscernibles being used, and also
that ordinals define by indiscernibles are smaller than the next
higher indiscernible .T is consistent because Con(MAH), Let M be a
model of T and let M' be the submodel of elements definable with
parameters c_i, i in Z. M' is an elementary submodel of M.

D is the usual On x Q[-1,1], and <D is the usual lexicographic
ordering on D = On x Q[-1,1) all in the sense of M'. <# is the usual
lexicographic ordering on On x Q[-1,1)', where Q[-1,1)' is any
recursive ordering of Q[-1,1) of order type omega, starting with -1,
all in the sense of M'. Then <# is a well ordering on D in the sense
of M'. We also, as usual, use <#^k which first orders by max of the
k-coordinates according to <#, and then lexicographically on the k
coordinates by <#.

We build our usual r-maximal emulation S* containedin D^k of a given E
containedin Q[-1,1] which is greedy with respect to <#^k. Then S* is
definable over M' without parameters. After some preparation, we will
be cutting back to the common initial segment of <D and <# with right
endpoint (kappa_0,-1).

By an L-term we mean a definition over M of an ordinal with parameters
from the c_i, i in Z. Thus M' was defined as the values of the
L-terms. The meaning of an L-term is the same whether we interpret it
over M or over M'. By indiscernibility, every ordinal of M' is less
than some kappa_i, i in Z.

We claim that in the sense of M', alpha < kappa_i+1 if and only if
alpha is defined by an L-term which, if we lower all subscripts on the
parameters by 1, results in a beta < kappa_i. To see this, first
assume alpha = t(c_i1,...,c_in). < kappa_i+1. By indiscernibility,
beta = t(c_i1-1,...,c_in-1) < kappa_i, and so alpha is defined by an
L-tem which, if we lower by 1, we get below kappa_i. Now suppose alpha
=  t(c_i1,...,c_in). has t(c_i1-1,...,c_in-1) < kappa_i. Then by
indiscernibility, t(c_i1,...,c_in) < kappa_i+1.

We now define j:On into On. Here j is external and On is internet to
M'. Let alpha = t(kappa_i1,...,kappa_in). Take j(alpha) =
t(kappa_i1+1,...,kappa_in+1). By indiscernibility, j is well defined
and j is strictly increasing. Clearly j maps each interval [0,kappa_i)
strictly increasing onto [0,kappa_i+1) by the previous paragraph.

Let W be the initial segment of On of ordinals below every kappa_n, n
in Z. Then W is left closed right open, and any statement with
parameters from the kappa's and parameters from W remains unchanged
when we add 1 to the subscripts. This is because the indiscernibles
are medium strong.

We now return to S* containedin D^k. Let D*' be the common initial
segment of <D and <# with right endpoint (kappa_0,-1). Then S*
intersect D*'^k is still a maximal r-emulation of E containedin
Q[-1,1]^k.

Let j* be the same as j except that on W, j* is the identity. It is
now clear that S* is both j and j'-embedded. Now form (D*,<D*.S*,j')
and take a countable substructure (D',<D',S',j') so that we have a
countable dense linear ordering with the same endpoints, and S' is
still an r-maximal emulation of E contanedin Q[-1,1]^k. Then isomorph
down to some (Q[-1,1]\{0},<,S^,f). We have to remove 0 since W has no
largest element. Now we can simply arbitrarily extend the r-maximal
emulation S^ containedin (Q[-1,1]\{0})^k of E containedin Q[-1,1]^k to
an r-maximal emulation S containedin Q]-1,1]^k of E containedin
Q[-1,1]^k which remains f-embedded. This is because 0 is not in
fld(f). Actually, we only have r-maximality with respect to
(Q[-1,1]\{0})^k. But then we just extend arbitrarily to Q]-1,1]^k. QED

We expect that MEE/8 and MEE/9 are provably equivalent to Con(MAH) over WKL_0.

Note that this f:Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] are not everywhere defined. The
domain is Q[-1,1]\{0}. However, by using any isomorphism from
(Q[0,1],<) onto (Q[-1,1]\{0}, we can convert f to some g:Q[0,1] into
Q[0,1], although it will not be piecewise linear. Nevertheless,
conceptually it is very simple, as its isomorphism type is easily
described. This suggests a theory of ME embed usability, where the f's
are described combinatorially in terms of their isomorphism types.

Actually it seems that this method of establishing MEE/8,9 should
extend to the following very strong statement that involves a very
large class of functions.

MEE/10. A bicontinuous 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.

Note that there is no assumption that f is even piecewise linear. We
expect that MEE/10 is provably equivalent to Con(MAH) over WKL_0. If
time and space permits, we expect to prove MEE/10 from Con(MAH) in the
ms.
