21.26.4  Relations
Definition	df-rels 38621	Define the relations class. Proper class relations (like I, see reli 5775) are not elements of it. The element of this class and the relation predicate are the same when 𝑅 is a set (see elrelsrel 38623). The class of relations is a great tool we can use when we define classes of different relations as nullary class constants as required by the 2. point in our Guidelines https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mathbox.html 38623. When we want to define a specific class of relations as a nullary class constant, the appropriate method is the following: 1. We define the specific nullary class constant for general sets (see e.g. df-refs 38759), then 2. we get the required class of relations by the intersection of the class of general sets above with the class of relations df-rels 38621 (see df-refrels 38760 and the resulting dfrefrels2 38762 and dfrefrels3 38763). 3. Finally, in order to be able to work with proper classes (like iprc 7853) as well, we define the predicate of the relation (see df-refrel 38761) so that it is true for the relevant proper classes (see refrelid 38771), and that the element of the class of the required relations (e.g. elrefrels3 38768) and this predicate are the same in case of sets (see elrefrelsrel 38769). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 13-Jun-2018.)

21.26.5  Lifts, shifts, successor, and predecessor
Definition	df-adjliftmap 38627*	Define the adjoined lift map. Given a relation 𝑅 and a carrier/set 𝐴, we form the adjoined relation (𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) (i.e., "follow 𝑅 or follow elements"), restricted to 𝐴, and map each domain element 𝑚 to its coset [𝑚] under that restricted adjoined relation. Thus, for 𝑚 in its domain, we have (𝑚 ∪ [𝑚]𝑅), see dfadjliftmap2 38628. Its key special case is successor: for 𝑅 = I and 𝐴 = dom I, or 𝐴 = V, the adjoined relation is ( I ∪ ◡ E ), and the coset becomes [𝑚]( I ∪ ◡ E ) = (𝑚 ∪ {𝑚}). So ( I AdjLiftMap dom I ) or ( I AdjLiftMap V) (see dfsucmap2 38634 and dfsucmap3 38633) are exactly the successor map 𝑚 ↦ suc 𝑚 (cf. dfsucmap4 38635), which is a prerequisite for accepting the adjoining lift as the right generalization of successor. A maximally generic form would be "( R F LiftMap A )" defined as (𝑚 ∈ dom ((𝑅𝐹◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴) ↦ [𝑚]((𝑅𝐹◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴)) where 𝐹 is an object-level binary operator on relations (used via df-ov 7361). However, ∪ and ⋉ are introduced in set.mm as class constructors (e.g. df-un 3906), not as an object-level binary function symbol 𝐹 that can be passed as a parameter. To make the generic 𝐹-pattern literally usable, we would need to reify union and ⋉ as function-objects, which is additional infrastructure. To avoid introducing operator-as-function objects solely to support 𝐹, we define: AdjLiftMap directly using df-un 3906, and BlockLiftMap directly using the existing ⋉ constructor dfxrn2 38566, so we treat any "generic 𝐹-LiftMap" as optional future generalization, not a dependency. We prefer to avoid defining too many concepts. For this reason, we will not introduce a named "adjoining relation", a named carrier "adjoining lift" "( R AdjLift A )", in place of ran (𝑅 AdjLiftMap 𝐴), which is (dom ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴) / ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴)), cf. dfqs2 42489, or the equilibrium condition "AdjLiftFix" , in place of {⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩ ∣ (dom ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴) / ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴)) = 𝑎} (cf. its analog df-blockliftfix 38651 and dfblockliftfix2 38893). These are definable by simple expansions and/or domain-quotient theorems when needed. A "two-stage" construction is obtained by first forming the block relation (𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) and then adjoining elements as "BlockAdj" . Combined, it uses the relation ((𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) ∪ ◡ E ), which for 𝑚 in its domain (𝐴 ∖ {∅}) gives (𝑚 ∪ [𝑚](𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E )), yielding "BlockAdjLiftMap" (cf. blockadjliftmap 38629) and "BlockAdjLiftFix". We only introduce these if a downstream theorem actually requires them. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 24-Jan-2026.)

Theorem	blockadjliftmap 38629*	A "two-stage" construction is obtained by first forming the block relation (𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) and then adjoining elements as "BlockAdj". Combined, it uses the relation ((𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) ∪ ◡ E ). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 28-Jan-2026.)
⊢ ((𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) AdjLiftMap 𝐴) = {⟨𝑚, 𝑛⟩ ∣ (𝑚 ∈ (𝐴 ∖ {∅}) ∧ 𝑛 = (𝑚 ∪ ([𝑚]𝑅 × 𝑚)))}
Definition	df-blockliftmap 38630*	Define the block lift map. Given a relation 𝑅 and a carrier/set 𝐴, we form the block relation (𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) (i.e., "follow both 𝑅 and element"), restricted to 𝐴 (or, equivalently, "follow both 𝑅 and elements-of-A", cf. xrnres2 38607). Then map each domain element 𝑚 to its coset [𝑚] under that restricted block relation. For 𝑚 in the domain, which requires (𝑚 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝑚 ≠ ∅ ∧ [𝑚]𝑅 ≠ ∅) (cf. eldmxrncnvepres 38615), the fiber has the product form [𝑚](𝑅 ⋉ ◡ E ) = ([𝑚]𝑅 × 𝑚), so the block relation lifts a block 𝑚 to the rectangular grid "external labels × internal members", see dfblockliftmap2 38631. Contrast: while the adjoined lift, via (𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ), attaches neighbors and members in a single relation (see dfadjliftmap2 38628), the block lift labels each internal member by each external neighbor. For the general case and a two-stage construction (first block lift, then adjoin membership), see the comments to df-adjliftmap 38627. For the equilibrium condition, see df-blockliftfix 38651 and dfblockliftfix2 38893. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 24-Jan-2026.)

⊢ (𝑅 BlockLiftMap 𝐴) = (𝑚 ∈ (𝐴 ∩ (dom 𝑅 ∖ {∅})) ↦ ([𝑚]𝑅 × 𝑚))
Definition	df-sucmap 38632*	Define the successor map, directly as the graph of the successor operation, using only elementary set theory (ordered-pair class abstraction). This avoids committing to any particular construction of the successor function/class from other operators (e.g. a union/composition presentation), while remaining provably equivalent to those presentations (cf. dfsucmap2 38634 and dfsucmap3 38633 vs. df-succf 36064 and dfsuccf2 36135). For maximum mappy shape, see dfsucmap4 38635. We also treat the successor relation as the default shift relation for grading/tower arguments (cf. df-shiftstable 38652). Because it is used pervasively in shift-lift infrastructure, we adopt the short name SucMap rather than the fully systematic "SucAdjLiftMap". You may also define the predecessor relation as the converse graph "PreMap" as ◡ SucMap, which reverses successor edges ( cf. cnvopab 6094) and sends each successor to its (unique) predecessor when it exists.

Definition	df-succl 38639	Define Suc as the class of all successors, i.e. the range of the successor map: 𝑛 ∈ Suc iff ∃𝑚suc 𝑚 = 𝑛 (see dfsuccl2 38640). By injectivity of suc (suc11reg 9528), every 𝑛 ∈ Suc has at most one predecessor, which is exactly what pre 𝑛 (df-pre 38645) names. Cf. dfsuccl3 38643 and dfsuccl4 38644.

⊢ Suc = {𝑛 ∣ ∃!𝑚 suc 𝑚 = 𝑛}
Theorem	dfsuccl4 38644*	Alternate definition that incorporates the most desirable properties of the successor class. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 30-Jan-2026.)
⊢ Suc = {𝑛 ∣ ∃!𝑚 ∈ 𝑛 (𝑚 ⊆ 𝑛 ∧ suc 𝑚 = 𝑛)}
Definition	df-pre 38645*	Define the term-level successor-predecessor. It is the unique 𝑚 with suc 𝑚 = 𝑁 when such an 𝑚 exists; otherwise pre 𝑁 is the arbitrary default chosen by ℩. See its alternate definitions dfpre 38646, dfpre2 38647, dfpre3 38648 and dfpre4 38650. Our definition is a special case of the widely recognised general 𝑅 -predecessor class df-pred 6259 (the class of all elements 𝑚 of 𝐴 such that 𝑚𝑅𝑁, dfpred3g 6271, cf. also df-bnj14 34845) in several respects. Its most abstract property as a specialisation is that it has a unique existing value by default. This is in contrast to the general version. The uniqueness (conditional on existence) is implied by the property of this specific instance of the general case involving the successor map df-sucmap 38632 in place of 𝑅, so that 𝑚 SucMap 𝑁, cf. sucmapleftuniq 38659, which originates from suc11reg 9528. Existence ∃𝑚𝑚 SucMap 𝑁 holds exactly on 𝑁 ∈ ran SucMap, cf. elrng 5840. Note that dom SucMap = V (see dmsucmap 38638), so the equivalent definition dfpre 38646 uses (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ Pred( SucMap , V, 𝑁)).

Theorem	dfpre4 38650*	Alternate definition of the predecessor of the 𝑁 set. The ◡ SucMap is just the "PreMap"; we did not define it because we do not expect to use it extensively in future (cf. the comments of df-sucmap 38632). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 26-Jan-2026.)
⊢ (𝑁 ∈ 𝑉 → pre 𝑁 = (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ [𝑁]◡ SucMap ))
Definition	df-blockliftfix 38651*	Define the equilibrium / fixed-point condition for "block carriers". Start with a candidate block-family 𝑎 (a set whose elements you intend to treat as blocks). Combine it with a relation 𝑟 by forming the block-lift span 𝑇 = (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎)). For a block 𝑢 ∈ 𝑎, the fiber [𝑢]𝑇 is the set of all outputs produced from "external targets" of 𝑟 together with "internal members" of 𝑢; in other words, 𝑇 is the mechanism that generates new blocks from old ones. Now apply the standard quotient construction (dom 𝑇 / 𝑇). This produces the family of all T-blocks (the cosets [𝑥]𝑇 of witnesses 𝑥 in the domain of 𝑇). In general, this operation can change your carrier: starting from 𝑎, it may generate a different block-family (dom 𝑇 / 𝑇). The equation (dom (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎)) / (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎))) = 𝑎 says exactly: if you generate blocks from 𝑎 using the lift determined by 𝑟 (cf. df-blockliftmap 38630), you get back the same 𝑎. So 𝑎 is stable under the block-generation operator induced by 𝑟. This is why it is a genuine fixpoint/equilibrium condition: one application of the "make-the-blocks" operator causes no carrier drift, i.e. no hidden refinement/coarsening of what counts as a block. Here, we generate this from the df-blockliftmap 38630, taking the range of the two sides, resulting in (dom (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎)) / (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎))) (via dfqs2 42489), which you can define as "( R BlockLift A )" . In that case, you can define BlockLiftFix as "{ <. r , a >. | ( r BlockLift a ) = a }", or typed as "{ <. r , a >. | ( r e. Rels /\ ( r BlockLift a ) = a ) }". This is a relation-typed equilibrium predicate. Restricting it to 𝑟 ∈ Rels (see the explicit restriction in the alternate definition dfblockliftfix2 38893) prevents representation junk (which may contain non-ordered-pair 𝑟 that would not affect the predicate 𝑥𝑟𝑦, because that predicate only looks at ordered pairs) and makes the module composable with later Rels-based infrastructure; sethood of the quotient does not require it in itself. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 25-Jan-2026.)
⊢ BlockLiftFix = {⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩ ∣ (𝑟 ∈ Rels ∧ (dom (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎)) / (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎))) = 𝑎)}
Definition	df-shiftstable 38652	Define shift-stability, a general "procedure" pattern for "the one-step backward shift/transport of 𝐹 along 𝑆", and then ∩ 𝐹 enforces "and it already holds here". Let 𝐹 be a relation encoding a property that depends on a "level" coordinate (for example, a feasibility condition indexed by a carrier, a grade, or a stage in a construction). Let 𝑆 be a shift relation between levels (for example, the successor map SucMap, or any other grading step). The composed relation (𝑆 ∘ 𝐹) transports 𝐹 one step along the shift: 𝑟(𝑆 ∘ 𝐹)𝑛 means there exists a predecessor level 𝑚 such that 𝑟𝐹𝑚 and 𝑚𝑆𝑛 (e.g., 𝑚 SucMap 𝑛). We do not introduce a separate notation for "Shift" because it is simply the standard relational composition df-co 5633. The intersection ((𝑆 ∘ 𝐹) ∩ 𝐹) is the locally shift-stable fragment of 𝐹: it consists exactly of those points where the property holds at some immediate predecessor that shifts to 𝑛 and also holds at level 𝑛. In other words, it isolates the part of 𝐹 that is already compatible with one-step tower coherence. This definition packages a common construction pattern used throughout the development: "constrain by one-step stability under a chosen shift, then additionally constrain by 𝐹". Iterating the operator (𝑋 ↦ ((𝑆 ∘ 𝑋) ∩ 𝑋) corresponds to multi-step/tower coherence; the one-step definition here is the economical kernel from which such "tower" readings can be developed when needed. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 25-Jan-2026.)

21.26.6  Cosets by ` R `
Definition	df-coss 38670*	Define the class of cosets by 𝑅: 𝑥 and 𝑦 are cosets by 𝑅 iff there exists a set 𝑢 such that both 𝑢𝑅𝑥 and 𝑢𝑅𝑦 hold, i.e., both 𝑥 and 𝑦 are are elements of the 𝑅 -coset of 𝑢 (see dfcoss2 38672 and the comment of dfec2 8638). 𝑅 is usually a relation. This concept simplifies theorems relating partition and equivalence: the left side of these theorems relate to 𝑅, the right side relate to ≀ 𝑅 (see e.g. pet 39106). Without the definition of ≀ 𝑅 we should have to relate the right side of these theorems to a composition of a converse (cf. dfcoss3 38673) or to the range of a range Cartesian product of classes (cf. dfcoss4 38674), which would make the theorems complicated and confusing. Alternate definition is dfcoss2 38672. Technically, we can define it via composition (dfcoss3 38673) or as the range of a range Cartesian product (dfcoss4 38674), but neither of these definitions reveal directly how the cosets by 𝑅 relate to each other. We define functions (df-funsALTV 38936, df-funALTV 38937) and disjoints (dfdisjs 38963, dfdisjs2 38964, df-disjALTV 38960, dfdisjALTV2 38969) with the help of it as well.
