21.27.5  Quotient map (coset map)
Definition	df-qmap 39202*	Define the quotient map (coset map), see also dfqmap2 39203 and dfqmap3 39204. 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 8707, rnqmap 39210). This is crucial for (i) modular "two-layer" characterizations (map layer + carrier layer) such as dfdisjs6 39698 / dfdisjs7 39699, (ii) transport of properties between a relation and its induced quotient-carrier (e.g. "elements are blocks" via rnqmap 39210), 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.)

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ dom 𝑅 → [𝐴] QMap 𝑅 = ({𝐴} / 𝑅))
Theorem	qmapex 39207	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 39208	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.)

Theorem	dmqmap 39209	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)

⊢ ran QMap 𝑅 = (dom 𝑅 / 𝑅)
21.27.6  Lifts, shifts, successor, and predecessor
Definition	df-adjliftmap 39211	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 39212. Thus, for 𝑚 in its domain, we have (𝑚 ∪ [𝑚]𝑅), see dfadjliftmap2 39213. 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 39220 and dfsucmap3 39219) are exactly the successor map 𝑚 ↦ suc 𝑚 (cf. dfsucmap4 39221), 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 7420). However, ∪ and ⋉ are introduced in set.mm as class constructors (e.g. df-un 3907), 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 3907, and BlockLiftMap directly using the existing ⋉ constructor dfxrn2 39141, 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 8707, or the equilibrium condition "AdjLiftFix" , in place of {⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩ ∣ (dom ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴) / ((𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ) ↾ 𝐴)) = 𝑎} (cf. its analog df-blockliftfix 39237). 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 39214) 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.)

Theorem	blockadjliftmap 39214*	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 39215	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 39182). 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 39190), 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 39217. Contrast: while the adjoined lift, via (𝑅 ∪ ◡ E ), attaches neighbors and members in a single relation (see dfadjliftmap2 39213), 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 39211. For the equilibrium condition, see df-blockliftfix 39237.

⊢ (𝑅 BlockLiftMap 𝐴) = (𝑚 ∈ (𝐴 ∩ (dom 𝑅 ∖ {∅})) ↦ ([𝑚]𝑅 × 𝑚))
Definition	df-sucmap 39218*	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 39220 and dfsucmap3 39219 vs. df-succf 36457 and dfsuccf2 36528). For maximum mappy shape, see dfsucmap4 39221. We also treat the successor relation as the default shift relation for grading/tower arguments (cf. df-shiftstable 39238). 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 6135) and sends each successor to its (unique) predecessor when it exists. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 25-Jan-2026.)

Definition	df-succl 39225	Define Suc as the class of all successors, i.e. the range of the successor map: 𝑛 ∈ Suc iff ∃𝑚suc 𝑚 = 𝑛 (see dfsuccl2 39226). By injectivity of suc (suc11reg 9602), every 𝑛 ∈ Suc has at most one predecessor, which is exactly what pre 𝑛 (df-pre 39231) names. Cf. dfsuccl3 39229 and dfsuccl4 39230.

⊢ Suc = {𝑛 ∣ ∃!𝑚 ∈ 𝑛 (𝑚 ⊆ 𝑛 ∧ suc 𝑚 = 𝑛)}
Definition	df-pre 39231*	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 39232, dfpre2 39233, dfpre3 39234 and dfpre4 39236. Our definition is a special case of the widely recognised general 𝑅 -predecessor class df-pred 6303 (the class of all elements 𝑚 of 𝐴 such that 𝑚𝑅𝑁, dfpred3g 6315, cf. also df-bnj14 35207) 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 39218 in place of 𝑅, so that 𝑚 SucMap 𝑁, cf. sucmapleftuniq 39246, which originates from suc11reg 9602. Existence ∃𝑚𝑚 SucMap 𝑁 holds exactly on 𝑁 ∈ ran SucMap, cf. elrng 5879. Note that dom SucMap = V (see dmsucmap 39224), so the equivalent definition dfpre 39232 uses (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ Pred( SucMap , V, 𝑁)). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 27-Jan-2026.)

⊢ (𝑁 ∈ 𝑉 → Pred(𝑅, 𝐴, 𝑁) = [𝑁]◡(𝑅 ↾ 𝐴))
Theorem	dfpre4 39236*	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 39218). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 26-Jan-2026.)
⊢ (𝑁 ∈ 𝑉 → pre 𝑁 = (℩𝑚𝑚 ∈ [𝑁]◡ SucMap ))
Definition	df-blockliftfix 39237*	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 39215), 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 8707 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). (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 25-Jan-2026.) (Revised by Peter Mazsa, 20-Feb-2026.)
⊢ BlockLiftFix = {⟨𝑟, 𝑎⟩ ∣ (dom (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎)) / (𝑟 ⋉ (◡ E ↾ 𝑎))) = 𝑎}
Definition	df-shiftstable 39238	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 5668. 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.)

21.27.7  Cosets by ` R `
Definition	df-coss 39257*	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 39259 and the comment of dfec2 8703). 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 39721). Without the definition of ≀ 𝑅 we should have to relate the right side of these theorems to a composition of a converse (cf. dfcoss3 39260) or to the range of a range Cartesian product of classes (cf. dfcoss4 39261), which would make the theorems complicated and confusing. Alternate definition is dfcoss2 39259. Technically, we can define it via composition (dfcoss3 39260) or as the range of a range Cartesian product (dfcoss4 39261), but neither of these definitions reveal directly how the cosets by 𝑅 relate to each other. We define functions (df-funsALTV 39522, df-funALTV 39523) and disjoints (dfdisjs 39549, dfdisjs2 39550, df-disjALTV 39546, dfdisjALTV2 39555) with the help of it as well.
