Realized-type isolators (issue #17 chunk 1) #
The decisive lemma of the small-model → complete-sentence chain, stated LANGUAGE-GENERAL
(independent of fragments, Löwenheim–Skolem, Scott infrastructure, and relationality, per the
frozen audit): in a structure realizing only countably many complete n-types, every realized
type p is ISOLATED AMONG THE REALIZED TYPES by a single L_{ω₁ω}-formula
χ_p = ⋀_{q realized} θ_{p,q},
where θ_{p,q} is an oriented separator (true at realizers of p, false at realizers of q;
a membership-difference formula or its negation) and the countable conjunction is ciInf over
the countable subtype of realized types. Universes are pinned to Language.{0,0}/Type 0
(ciInf's index universe) — "language-general" means arbitrary function and relation symbols,
no relationality assumption. The characterization:
realize_isolatingFormula_iff : χ_p.Realize Empty.elim a ↔ infinitaryType M a = p.
Oriented separators exist between distinct realized types: a formula true at every
realizer of p and false at every realizer of q.
The isolating formula χ_p of a realized type, over a structure with countably many
realized n-types: the countable conjunction of the oriented separators against every realized
type (a tautology at p itself).

Instances For
The decisive characterization: χ_p holds at a tuple exactly when its complete type is
p.
Realizers exist: χ_p is satisfiable in M (by any tuple realizing p).
