* we can represent relations using set comprehensions; if our program c has two state components, we can represent its meaning R( c ) as $\{((x_0,y_0),(x,y)) \mid F \}$, where F is some formula that has x,y,x_0,y_0 as free variables. | * we can represent relations using set comprehensions; if our program c has two state components, we can represent its meaning R( c ) as $\{((x_0,y_0),(x,y)) \mid F \}$, where F is some formula that has x,y,x_0,y_0 as free variables. | ||
