We have been in contact with a number of people across math logic,
various branches of mathematics, and computer science concerning
https://cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2018-March/020900.html
In particular, I asked for comments concerning the resonance of the
notion of "order equivalence" and also of the Complementation Theorem.
So far, I have received three comments about the notion of "order
equivalence" and also some comments that have led us to finite tune
the presentation. So we have posted a fine tuned version at
https://u.osu.edu/friedman.8/foundational-adventures/downloadable-manuscripts/
102. A U. R<[A] - April 1, 2018
I received 3 useful comments from 3 mathematicians outside math logic.
To date, I have not received any comments from the computer
scientists, and will contact more of them. For math logicians, asking
about the resonance of "order equivalence" is of course like asking
number theorists about the resonance of "addition and multiplication".
COMMENT #!
The idea that two integer sequences are order-isomorphic is very
natural and occurs often in studying permutation statistics.
COMMENT #2
I’m OK with your order equivalence. I think your point is that order
invariant subsets can, however, somehow encode quite complex
combinatorics.
COMMENT #3
In a sense, yes, this notion is implicit in the development of
subsymmetric basic sequences and, especially, spreading models (a la
Brunel and Sucheston from the 1970s). Ramsey's theorem is used for
the existence of spreading models, which are studied even now within
Banach space theory.
*************
#1 is a senior icon in combinatorial mathematics, #2 is a senior
Fields Medalist, and #3 is an unusually strong senior mathematician
focusing on Banach space theory. As far as math logic people are
concerned, asking them how they feel about order equivalence is
roughly akin to asking a number theorist about how they feel about
addition and multiplication.
The TCS situation is very puzzling, and I need to get to the bottom of
it. Perhaps I was unlucky enough to pick unrepresentative people from
TCS?
