Title: UndoableNotHistoryIgnorant
Version: 0.1
Type: Precise
Overview
An artificial example illustrating that not every undoable bx is history ignorant. ("History ignorant" has also been termed "strongly undoable" in the past.)
Models
$M = \{a,b,c\} \times \{false, true\}$
$N = \{a,b,c\}$
Consistency
Consistency simply ignores the second component of the $M$ model:
$R((x,\_),x)$
Consistency Restoration
$\overrightarrow{R}((x,\_),y) = x$ (there is no choice here, if the bx is to be correct and hippocratic)
$\overleftarrow{R}((x,\phi),y) = (y, \neg\phi)$ if as sets $\{x,y\} = \{a,c\}$
$\overleftarrow{R}((x,\phi),y) = (y,\phi)$ otherwise.
Properties
Correct, hippocratic, undoable, not history ignorant.
Discussion
This is Example 2 from the paper referenced below.
Undoability says that mistakes can be fully undone, provided the initial pair of models was consistent. History ignorance removes the "provided".
The role of $\phi$ here is to mess up the undoing if the models started off inconsistent.
