ONT Re: Extension x Comprehension = Information




¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤

I think that we have fairly well convinced ourselves --
at least, I am reasonably sure that some of us have --
that every function can be factored into an "onto"
followed by a "one-to-one" mapping, as shown here:

o-------------------o-------------------o-------------------o
|   Source Domain   |   Middle Domain   |   Target Domain   |
o-------------------o---------------------------------------o
|                                                           |
|          x_1 o-----------·                 o y_1          |
|                           \                               |
|                            \ m_1                          |
|          x_2 o--------------o------------->o y_2          |
|                            /                              |
|                           /                               |
|          x_3 o-----------·                 o y_3          |
|                                                           |
|                                                           |
|          x_4 o-----------·                 o y_4          |
|                           \                               |
|                            \ m_2                          |
|                             o------------->o y_5          |
|                            /                              |
|                           /                               |
|          x_5 o-----------·                 o y_6          |
|                                                           |
|                                                           |

So patent is the pending of Damocles' Razor on our modern incre-mentalities
that we would scarcely dare to think of it this way without a little bit of
prodding, but it is possible to treat this functional fractionation process
as a case of transmuting a 2-adic relation f c X x Y into a 3-adic relation
L c X x M x Y.

In our present example we have the data:

| f  c  X x Y
|
| X  =  {x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5}
|
| Y  =  {y_1, y_2, y_3, y_4, y_5, y_6}
|
| f  =  {<x_1, y_2>,
|        <x_2, y_2>,
|        <x_3, y_2>,
|        <x_4, y_5>,
|        <x_5, y_5>}

and

| L  c  X x M x Y
|
| X  =  {x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5}
|
| M  =  {m_1, m_2}
|
| Y  =  {y_1, y_2, y_3, y_4, y_5, y_6}
|
| L  =  {<x_1, m_1, y_2>,
|        <x_2, m_1, y_2>,
|        <x_3, m_1, y_2>,
|        <x_4, m_2, y_5>,
|        <x_5, m_2, y_5>}

I will let you stare
at that for a while,
and so will I.
