In 925: Polynomials and PA/5 I wrote

THEOREM 1. Let P_1,...,P_r:Z^n into Z^m be (dominating) integral
polynomials. There exists 0 < x_1 < ... < x_m+1 from Z^m such that each
#(P_i,x_1,...,x_m) <= #(P_i,x_2,...,x_m+1).

There is a small typo there. This should read

THEOREM 1. Let P_1,...,P_r:Z^n into Z^m be (dominating) integral
polynomials. There exists 0 < x_1 < ... < x_m+1 from Z such that each
#(P_i,x_1,...,x_m) <= #(P_i,x_2,...,x_m+1).

We want to redesign the Template as follows.

TEMPLATE. Let R be a binary relation on Z^m which is a subset of Z^2m
definable over (Z,<) with parameters allowed. Let P_1,...,P_r:Z^n into
Z^m be (dominating) integral
polynomials. There exists x R y such that each #(P_i,x) <= #(P_i,y).

We should get effective comparability and well orderedness under
provable implications for, separately, the dominating case and the
general case without dominating. Also comparability under logical
strengths and interpretability, also effectively, and well ordered.
Also seems like these each should have order type omega.
