Innocent Inclusion @cite{bar-lev-fox-2020} #
From @cite{bar-lev-fox-2020}, Definition (51):
II(p, C) = ∩{C'' ⊆ C : C''is maximal s.t.{r : r ∈ C''} ∪ {p} ∪ {¬q : q ∈ IE(p,C)}is consistent}
After computing IE, find all maximal subsets of alternatives that can consistently be assigned TRUE (given that IE alternatives are false). An alternative is innocently includable iff it appears in ALL such maximal sets.
Cell identification #
@cite{bar-lev-fox-2020} eq. (20) + (27) + footnote 21. The cell of
Partition(ALT) containing prejacent φ is the strongest proposition
that assigns a definite truth value to every alternative in ALT: the
prejacent, the negation of every IE-excludable alternative, and the truth
of every non-excludable alternative. When the cell is consistent (=
satisfiable at some world), exhIEII collapses onto it. When inconsistent
(the simple-disjunction case {a∨b, a, b, a∧b}), exhIEII does no
enrichment beyond exhIE.
Definition (II-compatible set): A set of propositions R is
(ALT, φ, IE)-compatible for inclusion if:
R ⊆ ALT{r : r ∈ R} ∪ {φ} ∪ {¬q : q ∈ IE(ALT, φ)}is consistent.

Membership in nonExcludable unfolds to r ∈ ALT plus
non-excludability.
Every II-compatible set consists of non-excludable alternatives.
When the cell is consistent (nonempty as a set of worlds),
nonExcludable is itself II-compatible.
Cell identification (@cite{bar-lev-fox-2020} footnote 21): when the
cell is consistent, the unique MI-set is nonExcludable, hence
II = nonExcludable.
Sufficient condition for II membership via a cell witness world.
Given any world w that witnesses cell consistency (satisfies the
prejacent, falsifies all IE-excludable alternatives, and verifies all
non-excludable alternatives), every alternative true at w is
innocently includable.
The abstract content of @cite{bar-lev-fox-2020}'s free-choice
derivation: each disjunct is true at the "separately-A-B" world, which
is the cell witness for Alt(◇(a∨b)).
Cell-witness factorization: from cell verdict to exhIEII consequences #
The headline theorem of cell-identification (@cite{bar-lev-fox-2020}
§3.3): once a cell witness is exhibited, exhIEII factors through
the per-alternative verdict at the witness. In abstract terms, every
alternative that holds at a cell witness is in II, hence asserted by
exhIEII; every innocently excludable alternative is in IE, hence
negated by exhIEII. The two corollaries below package these
patterns as substrate-level theorems consumable by any
Exh^{IE+II}-based study (basic FC, universal FC, SDA via Innocent
Inclusion, etc.).
Substrate-level cell-witness factorization (positive side).
Any alternative that holds at a cell witness is entailed by
exhIEII at every world. Composition of mem_II_of_cell_witness
with the hII projection of exhIEII.
Substrate-level cell-witness factorization (list / multi-target).
Given a cell witness and a list of alternatives all true at the
witness, exhIEII jointly entails every list member. The
cross-mechanism agreement template: any per-alternative-conjunction
operator (e.g., @cite{santorio-2018}'s sdaEval) factors through
exhIEII whenever the per-alternatives hold at a shared cell
witness.
Substrate-level cell-witness factorization (negation side).
Any innocently excludable alternative is negated by exhIEII.
Definitional unfolding of exhIEII's IE projection — named for
structural parallel with the positive side.
Cell-witness refutes IE-ness. Any alternative true at the cell witness is NOT innocently excludable. Direct contrapositive of the cell predicate's IE clause: the cell witness falsifies every IE alternative, so an alternative true at the witness cannot be IE. Avoids constructing MC-set witnesses for non-IE-ness proofs in study files: once the cell is established, every cell-witnessed alternative is non-IE by this 1-line corollary.
