For every countable structure A 2 Str[ there is a formula OE in BML 1 ( such that for all a in A, all countable B and all b in B, we have (A; a) B; b) iff (B; b) j= OE. We conclude the section with two brief comments on related work. First, De Rijke ....

....over f L; U p ; U q ; g. Setting aside, however, the propositional modal language, and examining the first order language f L; g of transition systems directly, it is easy to see that bisimilarity, in fact, exceeds first order logic. As pointed out in van Benthem and Bergstra [8], bisimilarity cannot be defined by an infinite set of first order sentences. This is strengthened by the following theorem, which considers bisimulations on a transition system (rather than on a pair of different ones) viewed as a first order f L; g model. Theorem A 0 . Bisimilarity is not ....
....defined over the transition system hfg; f(n; m) j n ; mgi. A fact complicating (z) is that bisimilarity is also Pi 1 1 (whence Delta 1 1 ) over well founded transition predicates a result implicit in Barwise, Gandy and Moschovakis [6] p. 115) as well as in van Benthem and Bergstra [8] (p. 27) Hence, we will also consider non well founded transition predicates. Moreover, turning to the co inductive characterization of bisimilarity, note that for bisimilarity to fall outside Pi 1 1 , the co inductive construction must not terminate at any stage named by a recursive ordinal. ....
