Deferring the "property P" part, this corresponds to:
<pre><code>u updated with \[[∃x]] ≡
- let extend_one = fun one_dpm ->
- fun truth_value ->
- if truth_value = false
- then empty_set
- else List.map (fun d -> new_peg_and_assign 'x' d) domain
+ let extend_one = fun (one_dpm : bool dpm) ->
+ List.map (fun d -> bind_dpm one_dpm (new_peg_and_assign 'x' d)) domain
in bind_set u extend_one
</code></pre>
where `new_peg_and_assign` is the operation we defined in [hint 3](/hints/assignment_7_hint_3):
let new_peg_and_assign (var_to_bind : char) (d : entity) =
- fun ((r, h) : assignment * store) ->
- (* first we calculate an unused index *)
- let new_index = List.length h
- (* next we store d at h[new_index], which is at the very end of h *)
- (* the following line achieves that in a simple but inefficient way *)
- in let h' = List.append h [d]
- (* next we assign 'x' to location new_index *)
- in let r' = fun var ->
- if var = var_to_bind then new_index else r var
- (* the reason for returning true as an initial element should now be apparent *)
- in (true, r', h')
+ (* we want to return not a function that we can bind to a bool dpm *)
+ fun (truth_value : bool) : bool dpm ->
+ fun ((r, h) : assignment * store) ->
+ (* first we calculate an unused index *)
+ let new_index = List.length h
+ (* next we store d at h[new_index], which is at the very end of h *)
+ (* the following line achieves that in a simple but inefficient way *)
+ in let h' = List.append h [d]
+ (* next we assign 'x' to location new_index *)
+ in let r' = fun var ->
+ if var = var_to_bind then new_index else r var
+ (* we pass through the same truth_value that we started with *)
+ in (truth_value, r', h')
- What's going on in this representation of `u` updated with \[[∃x]]? For each `bool dpm` in `u` that wraps a `true`, we collect `dpm`s that are the result of extending their input `(r, h)` by allocating a new peg for entity `d`, for each `d` in our whole domain of entities, and binding the variable `x` to the index of that peg. For `bool dpm`s in `u` that wrap `false`, we just discard them. We could if we wanted instead return `unit_set (unit_dpm false)`.

- A later step can then filter out all the `dpm`s according to which the
-entity `d` we did that with doesn't have property P.
+ A later step can then filter out all the `dpm`s according to which the entity `d` we did that with doesn't have property P.
So if we just call the function `extend_one` defined above \[[∃x]], then `u` updated with \[[∃x]] updated with \[[Px]] is just:
in fun r -> exists (fun obj -> lifted_predicate (unit_reader obj) r)

* Can you figure out how to handle \[[not φ]] on your own? If not, here are some [more hints](/hints/assignment_7_hint_6). But try to get as far as you can on your own.
