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.

3.4. TRANSLATION USABILITY

DEFINITION 3.4.1. A translation is a function f::Q[0,1]^k into
Q[0,1]^k where f(p)-p is constant.

THEOREM 3.4.1. Two translations are equal if and only if they have the
same domain and range.

Proof: Let f,g be translations with the same domain and range. Then
fog^-1 is a translation from dom(f) onto dom(f). By the boundedness of
Q[0,1], fog^-1 is constant on dom(f). Hence f = g on dom(f) = dom(g).
Hence f = g. QED

In light of Theorem 3.4.1, we think of translation usability of sets.

DEFINITION 3.4.1. A,B are ME translation usable if and only if the
unique translation from A onto B is ME usable.

We only consider very special sets A,B here. A reasonable goal is to
determine which finite A,B are ME translation usable. We have not
achieved this. Of course, the results in sections 3.2, 3.3 for finite
finite functions apply here to give partial results.

DEFINITION 3.4.2. A box in Q[0,1]^k is a Cartesian product of k
rational intervals in Q[0,1]. An initial box is a box where the non
degenerate intervals all contain 0.

Recall that rational intervals in Q[0,1] include emptiest, and
singletons. Also recall that two subsets of Q[0.1]^k are order
equivalent if and only if they have the same elements up to order
equivalence of k-tuples.

MAXIMAL EMULATION BOX/1. MEB/1. Two infinite initial boxes in Q[0,1]^k
are translation usable if and only if the unique translation is order
preserving.

LEMMA 3.4.2. (RCA_0) Let T be the unique translation from infinite
initial box A = I_1 x ... x I_k onto infinite initial box B = J_1 x
... x J_k, and T is order preserving. The two boxes have the same non
degenerate intervals in the same positions. Let f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1]
be the identity on the union of the non degenerate intervals, and map
each singleton in A onto the corresponding singleton in B. Then f is a
function. Furthermore f is strictly increasing. In addition T maps
coordinstewise according to f.

Proof: Let T,A,B be as given, and let T be addition by (c_1,...,c_k).
Then the corresponding intervals of A,B must be translated by
c_1,...,c_k, respectively. Hence the non degenerate intervals must be
the same in the same positions. Let I* be the union of the non
degenerate intervals. Suppose {x} appears in positions i,j in A. Then
some {y} appears in positions i,j in B because T is order preserving.
So f is univalent at singletons of A that are not in I*. Also if {x}
appears in position i in A and x in I*, then since T is order
preserving, {x} must also appear in position i in B. Hence f is well
defined and is the identity on I*. Now suppose {x} appears in position
i and {y} appears in position j, all in A. Since T is order
preserving, for the {x'} in position i in B and {y'} in position j in
B, we must have x < y iff x' < y'. Hence f is strictly increasing. It
is also clear that T is acting coordinstewise via f. QED

THEOREM 3.4.3. (WKL_0) MEB/1 if and only if Con(SRP).

Proof: We first prove MEB/1 in WKL_0 + Con(SRP). Let A,B containedin
Q[0,1]^k be infinite initial boxes, where the translation T is order
preserving. Let f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] be the associated strictly
increasing function. From Lemma 3.4.2, we se that f is a finite
extension of the identity function on some non degenerate interval
containing 0. By MEE/5,  f is ME embed usable. Hence T is ME usable.
I.e., A,B are ME translation usable.

Now look at the initial boxes {1/1} x {1/2} x ... x {1/(k-1)} x
Q[0,1/k) and {1/2} x {1/3} x ... x {1/k} x Q[0,1/k). By MEB/1, they
are ME translation usable, and therefore MED/1. Hence Con(SRP), over
RCA_0. QED

DEFINITION 3.4.3. A line segment in Q[0,1]^k is the open line segment
between two distinct endpoints x,y in Q[0,1]^k, in the usual sense,
intersect Q[0,1]^k, with or without the two endpoints.

Note that the boxes {1/1} x {1/2} x ... x {1/(k-1)} x Q[0,1/k) and
{1/2} x {1/3} x ... x {1/k} x Q[0,1/k) are the line segments from
(1/1,...,1/(k-1),0) to (1/2,...,1/(k-1),1/k), and from
(1/2,...,1/k),0) to (1/2,...,1/k,1/k), left closed, right open.

DEFINITION 3.4.4. A spike in Q[0,1]^k is a left closed right open line
segment in Q[0,1]^k whose left endpoint is in the middle of one of the
2k (k-1)-dimensional walls and which is perpendicular to that wall.

MAXIMAL EMULATION LINES/1. MEL/1. Two spikes in Q[0,1]^k in Q[0,1]^k
are ME translation usable if and only if the unique translation is
order preserving.

THEOREM 3.4.4. (WKL_0) MEL/1 if and only if Con(SRP).

Proof: It is not had to see that MEB/1 implies  MEL/1 implies MED/1. QED
