Let $A$ and $B$ be sets and let $R\colon A\mathrel {\rightarrow \kern -9.5pt\mathrlap {|}\kern 6pt}B$ be a relation.
The relation on powersets associated to $R$ is the relation
defined by1
for each $U\in \mathcal{P}\webleft (A\webright )$ and each $V\in \mathcal{P}\webleft (B\webright )$.
In detail, we have $U\sim _{\mathcal{P}\webleft (R\webright )}V$ iff the following equivalent conditions hold:
We have $\chi _{\mathrm{pt}}\subset V\mathbin {\diamond }R\mathbin {\diamond }U$.
We have $\webleft (V\mathbin {\diamond }R\mathbin {\diamond }U\webright )^{\star }_{\star }=\mathsf{true}$, i.e. we have
There exists some $a\in A$ and some $b\in B$ such that:
We have $U^{a}_{\star }=\mathsf{true}$.
We have $R^{b}_{a}=\mathsf{true}$.
We have $V^{\star }_{b}=\mathsf{true}$.
There exists some $a\in A$ and some $b\in B$ such that:
We have $a\in U$.
We have $a\sim _{R}b$.
We have $b\in V$.
The assignment $R\mapsto \mathcal{P}\webleft (R\webright )$ defines a functor
