21.26.4  Relations
Definition	df-rels 39122	Define the relations class. Proper class relations (like I, see reli 5815) are not elements of it. The element of this class and the relation predicate are the same when 𝑅 is a set (see elrelsrel 39124). 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 39124. 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 39272), 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 39122 (see df-refrels 39273 and the resulting dfrefrels2 39275 and dfrefrels3 39276). 3. Finally, in order to be able to work with proper classes (like iprc 7910) as well, we define the predicate of the relation (see df-refrel 39274) so that it is true for the relevant proper classes (see refrelid 39284), and that the element of the class of the required relations (e.g. elrefrels3 39281) and this predicate are the same in case of sets (see elrefrelsrel 39282). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 13-Jun-2018.)
⊢ Rels = 𝒫 (V × V)
Theorem	elrels2 39123	The element of the relations class (df-rels 39122) and the relation predicate (df-rel 5670) are the same when 𝑅 is a set. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 14-Jun-2018.)

21.26.5  Quotient map (coset map)
Definition	df-qmap 39128*	Define the quotient map (coset map), see also dfqmap2 39129 and dfqmap3 39130. QMap 𝑅 is the "send a generator / domain element to its 𝑅 -coset" map: it maps each 𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑅 to the block [𝑥]𝑅. Makes the quotient operation / structurally explicit as the range of a canonical map (see dfqs2 8703, rnqmap 39136). This is crucial for (i) modular "two-layer" characterizations (map layer + carrier layer) such as dfdisjs6 39624 / dfdisjs7 39625, (ii) transport of properties between a relation and its induced quotient-carrier (e.g. "elements are blocks" via rnqmap 39136), and (iii) expressing stability/invariance constraints as ordinary conditions on a graph (e.g. ran QMap 𝑟 ∈ ElDisjs, QMap 𝑟 ∈ Disjs). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 12-Feb-2026.)
⊢ QMap 𝑅 = (𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑅 ↦ [𝑥]𝑅)

⊢ QMap 𝑅 = (𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑅 ↦ (𝑅 “ {𝑥}))
Theorem	dfqmap3 39130*	Alternate definition of the quotient map: QMap as ordered-pair class abstraction. Gives the raw set-builder characterization for extensional proofs, Rel proofs (relqmap 39134), and composition/intersection manipulations. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 14-Feb-2026.)
⊢ QMap 𝑅 = {⟨𝑥, 𝑦⟩ ∣ (𝑥 ∈ dom 𝑅 ∧ 𝑦 = [𝑥]𝑅)}
Theorem	ecqmap 39131	QMap fibers are singletons of blocks. Makes QMap behave like a "block constructor function" on dom 𝑅. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 14-Feb-2026.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ dom 𝑅 → [𝐴] QMap 𝑅 = {[𝐴]𝑅})
Theorem	ecqmap2 39132	Fiber of QMap equals singleton quotient: a conceptual bridge between "map fibers" and quotients. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 19-Feb-2026.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ dom 𝑅 → [𝐴] QMap 𝑅 = ({𝐴} / 𝑅))
Theorem	qmapex 39133	Quotient map exists if 𝑅 exists. Type-safety: ensures QMap is a set under the standard "relation sethood" hypothesis. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 12-Feb-2026.)
⊢ (𝑅 ∈ 𝑉 → QMap 𝑅 ∈ V)
Theorem	relqmap 39134	Quotient map is a relation. Guarantees that QMap can be composed, restricted, and used in other relation infrastructure (e.g., membership in Disjs, Rels-based typing). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 12-Feb-2026.)
⊢ Rel QMap 𝑅
Theorem	dmqmap 39135	QMap preserves the domain. Confirms that QMap is defined exactly on the points where cosets [𝑥]𝑅 make sense (those in dom 𝑅). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 14-Feb-2026.)
⊢ (𝑅 ∈ 𝑉 → dom QMap 𝑅 = dom 𝑅)
Theorem	rnqmap 39136	The range of the quotient map is the quotient carrier. It lets us replace quotient-carrier reasoning by map/range reasoning (and conversely) via df-qmap 39128 and dfqs2 8703. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 12-Feb-2026.)
⊢ ran QMap 𝑅 = (dom 𝑅 / 𝑅)
21.26.6  Lifts, shifts, successor, and predecessor
Definition	df-adjliftmap 39137	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, see its expanded version dfadjliftmap 39138. Thus, for 𝑚 in its domain, we have (𝑚 ∪ [𝑚]𝑅), see dfadjliftmap2 39139. 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 39146 and dfsucmap3 39145) are exactly the successor map 𝑚 ↦ suc 𝑚 (cf. dfsucmap4 39147), 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 7419). However, ∪ and ⋉ are introduced in set.mm as class constructors (e.g. df-un 3911), 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 3911, and BlockLiftMap directly using the existing ⋉ constructor dfxrn2 39067, 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 8703, or the equilibrium condition "AdjLiftFix" , in place of {⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩ ∣ (dom ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴) / ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴)) = 𝑎} (cf. its analog df-blockliftfix 39163). 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 39140) and "BlockAdjLiftFix". We only introduce these if a downstream theorem actually requires them. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 24-Jan-2026.) (Revised by Peter Mazsa, 22-Feb-2026.)

⊢ (𝑅 AdjLiftMap 𝐴) = (𝑚 ∈ (𝐴 ∩ (dom 𝑅 ∪ (V ∖ {∅}))) ↦ (𝑚 ∪ [𝑚]𝑅))
Theorem	blockadjliftmap 39140*	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 39141	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 39108). 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 39116), 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 39143. Contrast: while the adjoined lift, via (𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ), attaches neighbors and members in a single relation (see dfadjliftmap2 39139), 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 39137. For the equilibrium condition, see df-blockliftfix 39163. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 24-Jan-2026.) (Revised by Peter Mazsa, 22-Feb-2026.)

⊢ (𝑅 BlockLiftMap 𝐴) = (𝑚 ∈ (𝐴 ∩ (dom 𝑅 ∖ {∅})) ↦ ([𝑚]𝑅 × 𝑚))
Definition	df-sucmap 39144*	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 39146 and dfsucmap3 39145 vs. df-succf 36375 and dfsuccf2 36446). For maximum mappy shape, see dfsucmap4 39147. We also treat the successor relation as the default shift relation for grading/tower arguments (cf. df-shiftstable 39164). 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 6139) and sends each successor to its (unique) predecessor when it exists. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 25-Jan-2026.)

Definition	df-succl 39151	Define Suc as the class of all successors, i.e. the range of the successor map: 𝑛 ∈ Suc iff ∃𝑚suc 𝑚 = 𝑛 (see dfsuccl2 39152). By injectivity of suc (suc11reg 9591), every 𝑛 ∈ Suc has at most one predecessor, which is exactly what pre 𝑛 (df-pre 39157) names. Cf. dfsuccl3 39155 and dfsuccl4 39156.

⊢ Suc = {𝑛 ∣ ∃!𝑚 suc 𝑚 = 𝑛}
Theorem	dfsuccl4 39156*	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 39157*	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 39158, dfpre2 39159, dfpre3 39160 and dfpre4 39162. Our definition is a special case of the widely recognised general 𝑅 -predecessor class df-pred 6306 (the class of all elements 𝑚 of 𝐴 such that 𝑚𝑅𝑁, dfpred3g 6318, cf. also df-bnj14 35102) 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 39144 in place of 𝑅, so that 𝑚 SucMap 𝑁, cf. sucmapleftuniq 39172, which originates from suc11reg 9591. Existence ∃𝑚𝑚 SucMap 𝑁 holds exactly on 𝑁 ∈ ran SucMap, cf. elrng 5883. Note that dom SucMap = V (see dmsucmap 39150), so the equivalent definition dfpre 39158 uses (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ Pred( SucMap , V, 𝑁)).

⊢ (𝑁 ∈ 𝑉 → Pred(𝑅, 𝐴, 𝑁) = [𝑁]◡(𝑅 ↾ 𝐴))
Theorem	dfpre4 39162*	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 39144). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 26-Jan-2026.)
⊢ (𝑁 ∈ 𝑉 → pre 𝑁 = (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ [𝑁]◡ SucMap ))
Definition	df-blockliftfix 39163*	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 39141), 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, the quotient (dom 𝑇 / 𝑇) is the standard carrier of 𝑇 -blocks; see dfqs2 8703 for the quotient-as-range viewpoint. This is an untyped equilibrium predicate on pairs ⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩. No hypothesis 𝑟 ∈ Rels is built into the definition, because the fixpoint equation depends only on those ordered pairs ⟨𝑥, 𝑦⟩ that belong to 𝑟 and hence can witness an atomic instance 𝑥𝑟𝑦; extra non-ordered-pair "junk" elements in 𝑟 are ignored automatically by the relational membership predicate. When later work needs 𝑟 to be relation-typed (e.g. to intersect with ( Rels × V)-style typedness modules, or to apply Rels-based infrastructure uniformly), the additional typing constraint 𝑟 ∈ Rels should be imposed locally as a separate conjunct (rather than being baked into this equilibrium module).

Definition	df-shiftstable 39164	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 5672. 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.

21.26.7  Cosets by ` R `
Definition	df-coss 39183*	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 39185 and the comment of dfec2 8699). 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 39647). Without the definition of ≀ 𝑅 we should have to relate the right side of these theorems to a composition of a converse (cf. dfcoss3 39186) or to the range of a range Cartesian product of classes (cf. dfcoss4 39187), which would make the theorems complicated and confusing. Alternate definition is dfcoss2 39185. Technically, we can define it via composition (dfcoss3 39186) or as the range of a range Cartesian product (dfcoss4 39187), but neither of these definitions reveal directly how the cosets by 𝑅 relate to each other. We define functions (df-funsALTV 39448, df-funALTV 39449) and disjoints (dfdisjs 39475, dfdisjs2 39476, df-disjALTV 39472, dfdisjALTV2 39481) with the help of it as well.
