Closure of ∃SO[new] definability under ordered FO reductions #
If P ≤ᶠᵒ[≤] Q and Q is ∃SO[new]-definable, then so is P
(DescriptiveComplexity.SigmaSONewDefinable.of_orderedReduction). With the
pullback of DescriptiveComplexity.SecondOrderNewPull this is the second
closure property a complexity class needs, and RE becomes one
(DescriptiveComplexity.RecursivelyEnumerable).
The shape is the one of DescriptiveComplexity.SecondOrderOrdered: pulling the
definition back through the interpretation yields a sentence over the ordered
expansion – correct for every linear order on the instance, by order-invariance
of the reduction – and the order is then re-quantified inside the second-order
block, guarded by a sentence saying that the variable is a linear order.
What value invention changes. The order variable now ranges over the
extended universe A ⊕ Fin n, where it cannot be a linear order at all: the
order symbol of the extended structure relates original elements only (invented
values are related to nothing, by DescriptiveComplexity.extBase), so the
guard must be relativized: DescriptiveComplexity.extLinearGuard states that
the variable relates original elements only, and is reflexive and total on
them. That is exactly enough to recover a LinearOrder on the instance
(DescriptiveComplexity.linearOrderOfGuard) and to know that the variable is
the order of the extended structure (DescriptiveComplexity.extLeRel), which
is what the language morphism DescriptiveComplexity.extOrderElim needs to be
an expansion.
The order of the instance, seen in the extended universe #
The order of the instance, as a relation on the extended universe: it relates two original elements when their values are ordered, and relates nothing else.

When the order variable is assigned the order of the instance, read in the
extended universe, the extended structure over the bare vocabulary is an
expansion along DescriptiveComplexity.extOrderElim of the extended structure
over the ordered one.

The relativized linear-order guard #
The relativized guard: the order variable relates original elements only, and is a linear order on them. Relativization is forced by value invention: the order symbol of an extended structure relates original elements only, so an unrelativized guard would be unsatisfiable as soon as something is invented.

Order elimination for ∃SO[new] #
Order elimination for ∃SO[new]: a problem defined by an ∃SO[new]
sentence over the ordered expansion – correct for some linear order on each
instance – is ∃SO[new]-definable. The order becomes one more relation
variable of the block, guarded by
DescriptiveComplexity.extLinearGuard.

Closure under ordered FO reductions #
∃SO[new]-definability is closed under ordered FO reductions: pull the
definition back through the interpretation over the ordered expansion, then
re-quantify the order inside the block, guarded by the relativized linear-order
guard.
