Exercise 1.21 (Scott 1981, PRG-19, §1) — Theorem 1.10 in greater detail #
Scott asks to work out the proof of Theorem 1.10 more fully and to observe two
further
properties of the element-token system {[X]} over |𝒟|:
- it is positive (
tokenSystem_isPositive), giving "in a different way the same kind of conclusion as in 1.20"; - it is complete (
tokenSystem_complete): every filter is fixed by a unique point — the point whose filter of containing neighbourhoods it is. We formalize "fixed by a point" asIsComplete, and derive it from the bijectiontokenIsoof Theorem 1.10 (tokenSystem_toToken_bijective). Thus tokens and (partial) elements are identified.
Finally, consistency of {Xᵢ ∣ i < n} is equivalent to
⋂_{i<n} [Xᵢ] ≠ ∅ (consistent_iff_iInter_bracket_nonempty), the finite
generalization of
Theorem 1.10(2) via Theorem 1.1c.
Everything is [propext, Quot.sound] (the corollaries inherit the constructive
proofs of
Theorem 1.10 / Theorem 1.1c).
Exercise 1.21 — the token system is positive. [X] ∩ [Y] = [X ∩ Y] is a
neighbourhood
iff non-empty: a common element x gives X ∩ Y ∈ 𝒟 (via x.sub (x.inter_mem …)); conversely
[W] always contains the principal filter ↑W.
Completeness: every filter is fixed by a unique point. #
A neighbourhood system 𝒟' over β is complete when every filter y ∈ |𝒟'| is fixed
by a unique point b ∈ β: a neighbourhood S lies in y iff b ∈ S. (Scott:
"a filter is
fixed by a point iff it is the filter of all neighbourhoods containing that
point".)
Instances For
Exercise 1.21 — the token system is complete. Every filter y of {[X]}
is fixed by
the unique point ofToken y ∈ |𝒟|: [W] ∈ y ↔ ofToken y ∈ [W]. Uniqueness is
Element.ext
applied through the brackets.
The filter of {[X]} fixed by the point x ∈ |𝒟| is toToken x (the
filter of all
brackets containing x). By Theorem 1.10 this is a bijection |𝒟| ≃ |{[X]}|, so
tokens and
(partial) elements are identified.
Equations
- V.filterFixedBy x = V.toToken x
Instances For
Exercise 1.21 — tokens ↔ elements. toToken : |𝒟| → |{[X]}| is a
bijection (it is the
underlying map of the order-iso tokenIso), so a complete system identifies
tokens with
(partial) elements under a one-one correspondence.
Consistency iff non-empty intersection of brackets. #
Exercise 1.21 — consistency via the intersection [⋂]. For X₀, …, Xₙ₋₁ ∈ 𝒟,
⟨Xᵢ⟩ is consistent iff [⋂_{i<n} Xᵢ] ≠ ∅. Combines Theorem 1.1c
(consistent_iff_interUpTo_mem) with bracket_nonempty_iff.
Exercise 1.21 — consistency iff ⋂_{i<n} [Xᵢ] ≠ ∅. The literal form of
Scott's
equivalence: ⟨Xᵢ⟩ is consistent iff there is a filter lying in every [Xᵢ] (i < n). →
uses upward closure along ⋂_{i<n} Xᵢ ⊆ Xᵢ; ← uses Element.mem_interUpTo.
