(** A pointed graph (X, A, a) represents an element of a pointed graph
    (Y, B, b) if there is a vertex b':Y one edge below the root b such
    that the pointed graphs (X, A, a) and (Y, B, b') are bisimilar.

    This relation is impredicatively encoded as follows: *)

Definition ELT (X : Typ1) (A : Rel X) (a : X) (Y : Typ1) 
  (B : Rel Y) (b : Y) : Prop :=
  forall E : Prop, (forall b' : Y, B b' b -> EQV X A a Y B b' -> E) -> E.
