Title: NonSimplyMatching
Version: 0.1
Type: Precise
Overview
This artificial example shows a bx that is matching but not simply matching.
Models
Each model is a boolean: $M = N = \{0,1\}$
Consistency
$R(m,n)$ iff $mn = 0$; that is
R | 0 | 1 |
---|---|---|
0 | T | T |
1 | T | F |
Consistency Restoration
There's only one choice if $R$ is to be correct and hippocratic. Writing Rf, Rb for forward and backward consistency restoration functions:
Rf | 0 | 1 |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 0 | 0 |
Rb | 0 | 1 |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 0 |
Properties
- correct
- hippocratic
- matching (by bijection $f : 0 \mapsto 1, f : 1 \mapsto 0$)
but not
- simply matching (see discussion)
- undoable.
Discussion
This is Example 8 from Stevens' paper referred to below. In terms of the equivalences $\sim_F$ and $\sim_B$ on each of $M$, $N$ defined there:
Each element of $M$ forms an equivalence class under each equivalence, and dually for $N$. Therefore there is only one choice of transversal, and we identify the elements with the equivalence classes.
Considered as a subset of $M_F \times M_B$, M is the diagonal subset {(0,0),(1,1)} where (0,0) represents 0 and (1,1) represents 1. Similarly for $N$. That is, the coordinate grids for $M$ and $N$ are both, identically:
1 | 1 | |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | |
0 | 1 |
We have here the simplest possible example in which there are two distinct elements of $M_F$ (0 and 1) compatible with one element of $N_B$ (0), and only one of those $M_F$ elements (0) is also compatible with a second, distinct element of$N_B$ (1). In other words, both columns of $M$'s coordinate grid are compatible with the 0 row of $N$'s, and the 0 column of $M$'s grid is also compatible with the 1 row of $N$'s.
