You may recall that we used embeddings for the punch line for the Lead
Statements in Chapter 2 of the Tangible Incompleteness book. The first
version of #110
https://u.osu.edu/friedman.8/foundational-adventures/downloadable-manuscripts/
is based on Embeddings, But then we switched to Invariant Maximality
with the complete invariance with respect to ush/N.

We decided to have a section on Embedded Maximality where we go back
to the use of embeddings. The idea is that Embedded Maximality will
sit side by side Invariant Maximality, since on second thoughts, they
both have their advantages.

In Embedded Maximality the integers play no role (as points), and so
we work entirely in the spaces Q[-1,1]^k. In Invariant Maximality it is
much more convenient to work in the spaces Q[-n,n]^k. This is an
advantage for Embedded Maximality. On the other hand, in Invariant
Maximality we use a particular very natural function ush/N (the upper
shift for N) for our complete invariance. We also completely
characterize which suitably invariant shifts that can be used. This
advantage goes to Invariant Maximality.

1. Finite Embedded Maximality Revisited

DEFINITION 1.1. f::A into B if and only if f is a partial function
from A into B. fld(f) = dom(f) union rng(g). Let f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1]
and S containedin Q[-1,1]^k. f embeds S if and only if for all
p1,...,pk,f(p1),...,f(pk) in Q[0,1], (p1,...,pk) in S iff
(f(p1),...,f(pk)) in S. f affects p if and only if
there exists q not= p such that f(p) = q or f(q) = p. Let K be a set
of f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1]. K affects p if and only if some f in K
affects p.

FINITE EMBEDDED MAXIMALITY/1. (ACA0 + "for all n, the n-th Turing jump
of 0 exists"). Let K be a finite set of finite f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1],
where all f in K are strictly increasing and K does not affect both -1
and 1. Then every order invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has a K embedded
maximal square.

FINITE EMBEDDED MAXIMALITY/1. (ACA0 + "for all n, the n-th Turing jump
of 0 exists"). The following are equivalent for finite f::Q[-1,1] into
Q[-1,1]..
i. f is strictly increasing and there are no p,q in Q(-1,1) such that
((f(-1) = p and f(q) = 1) or (f(p) = -1 and f(1) = q)).
ii. Every order invariant subset of Q[0,1]^2k has an f embedded maximal square.

Proof: Assume i and let R be an order invariant relation on Q[0,1]^k
Assume f::Q[0,1] into Q[0,1] is finite and strictly increasing. We can
assume f affects both -1 and 1.
1. f(0) = 1 or f(1) = 0. Suppose (0,...,0) notR (0,...,0). Then any
maximal square excludes (0,...,0),(1,...,1), and so is f embedded.
Suppose (0,...,0) notR (1,...,1). Then any maximal square whose leg
has (1/2,...,1/2) is missing (0,...,0),(1,...,1), and so is f
embedded. Suppose (0,...,0) R (0,...,0) and (0,...,0) R (1,...,1).
Then any maximal square whose leg has (0,...,0),(1,...,1) is f
embedded.
2. We can assume p,q in Q(-1,1) and f(-1) = p and f(1) = q. Then there
exists -1 < r < 1 outside fld(f) such that f maps below r to below r
and maps above r to above r. Let R be an order
invariant binary relation on Q[-1,1]^k. Move from Q[-1,1] to Q. Build a
tower of maximal legs of squares on Q[-1,1]k, Q[-2,2]k, ..., Q[-n,n]k,
where n is sufficiently large relative to f,k. Choose a suitably large
set of indiscernibles among 1,2,...,n with respect to the constant 0,
the - operation, the maximal leg for Q[-n,n]k, and <, Let these be j_1
< j_2 ... j_2r. We will use the maximal leg on Q[-j_r,j_r]^k with
endpoints -j_r, j_r, and we use  -j_1,...,-j_r,j_r+1,...,j_2r and j-2r
to imitate f.

For the converse, it suffices to consider two cases for refutation in
dimension k = 2, even for order invariant graphs and maximal cliques.
.
a. f(-1) = 0, f(1/2) = 1. Define graph where the not adjacents are
the (a,b),(a,b), and the  (a<b),(c>d) and the (c>d),(a<b), where a < d
and b < c. Let S be an f embedded maximal clique. Then (0,1) in S
and so (-1,1/2) in S. Also (1/2,-1) in S and so (1,0) in S. But
(-1,1/2),(1,0) are not adjacent.

b. f(-1) = 0, f(0) = 1. Same graph. Let S be an f embedded maximal
clique. Then (0,1) in S and so (-1,0) in S. Also (0,-1) in S and
so (1,0) in S. But (-1,0),(1,0) are not adjacent.

QED

Necessary and sufficient conditions for finite sets K of finite
f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] require more work.

2. Embedded Maximality Revisited

DEFINITION 2.1. f::A into B if and only if f is a partial function
from A into B. fld(f) = dom(f) union rng(f). A fully extended finite
f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] is the result of extending some nonempty finite
g::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] by the identity strictly below min(fld(g)) and
the identity strictly above max(fld(g)). A ;lower (higher) extended
finite f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] is the result of extending some nonempty finite
g::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] by the identity strictly below min(fld(f))
(strictly above max(fld(f)). .

THEOREM 2.1. In all three notions from Definition 2.1, the g can be
unique recovered from the f,

EMBEDDED MAXIMALITY. The following hold.
i. Let f be a strictly increasing lower (upper) finite g:Q into Q.
Every order invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has an f embedded maximal
square.
ii. Let f be a strictly increasing fully extended finite g::Q[-1,1]
into Q[-1,1].
Every order invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has an f embedded maximal
square.
iii. Let K be a finite set of strictly increasing lower (upper) finite
g::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1]. Every order invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has a K
embedded maximal square.
iv. There is a K consisting of a strictly increasing lower finite
g:Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] and a strictly increasing upper finite h:Q[-1,1] into
Q[-1,1] such that the following is false. Every order invariant subset of
Q[-1,1]^2k has a K embedded maximal square.

THEOREM 2.2. In Embedded Maximality, iv is provable in RCA0, i,ii,iii
are provable in WKL0 + Con(SRP). iii is provably equivalent to
Con(SRP) over RCA0 and implies Con(SRP) over RCA0.

We are morally certain that i,ii are provably equivalent to Con(SRP)
over WKL0 and imply Con(SRP) over RCA0, but the reversal is more
difficult than for iii, and we need to go over more details.

QUESTION: For which f::Q[-1,1]^k and for which sets K of f::Q[-1,1] is
it the case that every order invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has an f
(K) embedded maximal square?

We are quite far from having a complete answer to this question, even
for very rudimentary f and K.

DEFINITION 2.2. f::Q[-1,1] into Q[-1,1] is an almost identity if and
only if f is
the union of a finite function and the identity on a finite union of
nonempty open intervals.

THEOREM 1.3. (Zermelo set theory) Let f::Q[-1,1] be an almost identity
where domain misses a nonempty interval in Q[-1,1].  Every order
invariant subset of Q[-1,1]^2k has an f embedded maximal square.
