BFEquiv is Borel on the Pair Space

This file proves that the back-and-forth equivalence relation BFEquiv α is measurable (Borel) on the pair space StructureSpace L × StructureSpace L for α < ω₁.

Main Definitions

• StructurePairSpace L: The product StructureSpace L × StructureSpace L.
• BFEquivSet: The set of code pairs where BFEquiv α n a b holds.

Main Results

• bfEquivSet_measurableSet: BFEquivSet α n a b is measurable for α < ω₁.

Proof Strategy

Direct transfinite induction on α matching BFEquiv's definition:

• Zero: SameAtomicType a b = countable intersection over AtomicIdx.
• Successor β: IH ∧ (∀ m, ∃ n', IH on snoc) ∧ (∀ n', ∃ m, IH on snoc).
• Limit β: ⋂_{γ < β} IH — countable intersection (since β < ω₁).
