The controlling fragment and the countable companion (issue #17 chunk 2) #
One countable seed controls the whole back-and-forth: over every arity it contains each
isolating formula χ_p of a realized type, and the one-variable existential closure
(χ_p).ex of every (n+1)-ary isolator (BoundedFormulaω.ex is ¬∀¬, and realize_ex
quantifies exactly the coordinate added by Fin.snoc — no renaming formulas are needed). The
component-closed fragment it generates is countable, and the genuine downward Löwenheim–Skolem
theorem (#13) yields the countable companion N ≺_A M.
Still language-general (countable function symbols only — relationality first enters at the BF/Scott packaging boundary, per the frozen audit).
The controlling seed: all isolators, and the existential closures of all isolators of one higher arity.

The countable companion (issue #17 chunk 2 endpoint): a small structure over countably many function symbols has a countable substructure that is elementary for the controlling fragment.
