Craig interpolation for L_ω₁ω over an arbitrary language (Craig Layer 3, Unit 7a) #
The full Craig interpolation theorem: no hypotheses on L. The proof is the algebraic
assembly of the relationalization layer over the relational core:
entails_graphTranslation— the one semantic gate:r₁ ⊨ r₂translates toAx(F₁) ∧ r₁ʳᵉˡ ⊨ Ax(F₂) → r₂ʳᵉˡin the graph language, by reconstructing anL-structure overF₁ ∪ F₂from the combined graph axioms. This is the only place Unit 7 reconstructs anything.- The relational core
craig_interpolation_relationalapplies ingraphLanguage L(relational by construction, no countability hypothesis). - The interpolant's vocabulary bound rewrites through the exact occurrence identities
relationsIn_graphAntecedent/relationsIn_graphConsequentandrelSym_interdown torelSym L (F₁ ∩ F₂) (R₁ ∩ R₂). θ := backTranslateFormula θg; the sharp bounds are Unit 6's consumer lemmas.- Both entailments are pure graph-expansion transport (
graphExpansion_realizes_graphAxiomsplus the Unit 4/Unit 6 realize bridges) — no reconstruction.
craig_pcSeparation is the arbitrary-language PC-separation wrapper (the relational
craig_pcSeparation_relational stays, in the exact form issue #10 consumes).
Every formula mentions only countably many function symbols — as an instance on the
subtype, so graphAxioms φ.functionsIn needs no explicit countability bookkeeping.
The exact occurrence identities of the two translated sides #
The graph antecedent Ax(F₁) ∧ r₁ʳᵉˡ mentions exactly the relationalization of r₁'s own
symbols.
The graph consequent Ax(F₂) → r₂ʳᵉˡ mentions exactly the relationalization of r₂'s own
symbols.
The semantic gate: entailment translates to the graph language #
The graph translation of an entailment — the one semantic gate of the assembly, and the
only place reconstruction is used: a model of Ax(F₁) ∧ r₁ʳᵉˡ that also satisfies Ax(F₂)
carries the graph axioms of F₁ ∪ F₂, so it reconstructs to an L-structure in which r₁
holds; r₁ ⊨ r₂ there, and r₂ translates back.
The theorem #
Craig interpolation for L_ω₁ω, arbitrary language. An L_ω₁ω-entailment r₁ ⊨ r₂
over any language has an interpolant θ whose function and relation symbols each lie in the
intersection of the two roots' occurrence sets, with r₁ ⊨ θ and θ ⊨ r₂.
PC-separation, arbitrary language #
Craig separation (PC-separation), arbitrary language. If ψ₁ and ψ₂ have no common
model (ψ₁ ⊨ ¬ψ₂), a single shared-vocabulary sentence θ₀ separates them: it holds in the
shared-vocabulary reduct of every model of ψ₁ and fails in that of every model of ψ₂.
