Quine Transform of a Model
Suppose that is a model, and let be a bijection (permutation of to itself). Next, define the following notion:
Definition [Quine Transform]
The Quine transform of under , written , is given by:
is specified as follows:
be the transposition that swaps to . Then,
and are extensionally distinct. However, and are isomorphic under . More generally, one can see that:
Lemma ["Quine Transform Lemma"]
Let be any bijection. Then: .
This is all quite simple discrete mathematics. But it has interesting applications.
