Cointerpretability Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

In mathematical logic, cointerpretability is a binary relation on formal theories: a formal theory T is cointerpretable in another such theory S, when the language of S can be translated into the language of T in such a way that S proves every formula whose translation is a theorem of T. The "translation" here is required to preserve the logical structure of formulas.

This concept, in a sense dual to interpretability, was introduced by Japaridze in 1993, who also proved that, for theories Peano arithmetic and any stronger theories with effective axiomatizations, cointerpretability is equivalent to -conservativity.
