Before continuing with sections 2.3, 2.4, 3, we add some material to
sections 2.1, 2.2. We won't worry here about changing the numberings
and the exact position of the new material. We will just focus on the
new material. First we repeat the TOC for the convenience of the
reader.

We have seen that N Shift-Related is the really natural equivalence
relation on Q^k that drives our invariance. We have seen that it is
maximal for being emulation and clique usable, and also is the least
equivalence relation containing all of the N subtail shifts. I am
still trying to get a stronger theorem to the effect that N
Shift-Related on Q^k is the maximum equivalence relation on Q^k
satisfying its own fundamental invariance conditions (as a set of
2k-tuples) which is emulation or clique usable. There are some
technical issues left here.

So we would like a name for N Shift-Related invariance. We will use
the word "stable". We have used it before for a very weak case of
this. So using the word "stable" we have the following lead statements
of Invariant Maximality (before we consider logical classes in section
2.3).

IME. Invariant Maximal Emulation. Every finite subset of Q[-n,n]^k has
a stable maximal emulatior.

IMC. Invariant Maximal Clique. Every order invariant graph on
Q[-n,n]^k has a stable maximal clique.

IME and IMC are provably equivalent to Con(SRP) over WKL_0 with the
forward direction over RCA_0. In dimension 2 IME and IMC are already
substantial, and the natural proofs correspond to Con(Z_2), even for
Q[-1,1]^2. However, we believe that RCA_0 suffices through a
painstaking classification of the finite number of order invariant
graphs on Q[-1,1]^2.

Q[-n,n]^2 seem perfect for the Magic Bullet from
https://cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2019-September/021689.html Perhaps
especially Q[-1,1]^2 and Q[-2,2]^2, with the more advanced Q[-2,2]^3
and Q[-3,3]^3 for the brave. We don't have a proof for Q[-2,2]^3
without using a substantial large cardinal.

We now introduce two elaborations of IME and IMC. The first is already
present in

Tangible Mathematical Incompleteness of ZFC

whereas the second is not.

DEFINITION A. S is an r-emulatior of E containedin Q[-n,n]^k if and
only if every element of S^r is order equivalent to some element of
E^r.

Note that emulators are 2-emulators.

IMHE. Invariant Maximal Hyper Emulation. Every finite subset of
Q[-n,n]^k has a stable maximal r-emulatior.

IMHC. Invariant Maximal Hyper Clique. Every order invariant r-graph on
Q[-n,n]^k has a stable maximal r-clique.

3-emulation in Q[-1,1]^2 should open up a new world for the Magic Bullet.

The new elaboration is what we call tower emulation and tower clique. .

DEFINITION B. A maximal r-emulatior of E_1 containedin ... containedin
E_m containedin Q^k is an S_1 containedin ... containedin S_m
containedin Q^k such that each S_i is a maximal r-emulator of E_i.

IMTE. Invariant Maximal Tower Emulation. Every finite tower of subsets
of Q^k has a stable maximal emulator.

IMTC. Invariant Maximal Tower Clique. Every finite tower of order
invariant graphs on Q^k has a stable maximal clique.

IMTHE. Invariant Maximal Tower Hyper Emulation. Every finite tower of
subsets of Q^k has a stable maximal r-emulator.

IMTHC. Invariant Maximal Tower Hyper Clique. Every finite tower of
order invariant r-graphs on Q^k has a stable maximal r-clique.

The towers are so powerful that we no longer need the right endpoint
in Q[-n,n], and can use Q.

All of these statements are provably equivalent to Con(SRP) over
WKL_0, with the forward direction over RCA_0.
