This sounds like you have another approach in mind than the
brute-force one? Can you elaborate a bit on how the problem
might be solved with "set operations on a function set"?
I was able to complete the TLC model checking part (by applying
the tips I got from you and Markus Kuppe, thanks).
What I did change:
* use natural numbers to represent the houses,
* use default natural number ordering,
* write/update a swap action to reassign values,
* remove the "none" value and reduce possible state space,
* I spotted and fixed some errors in my initial spec
(like "birds" vs "bird")
* I wrote a few CONSTRAINTS to further limit the state space
(I actually wanted to write even more constraints but TLC
found a solution before I had the chance to do so). The
number of states explored is still, quite big.
The final spec, the TLC configuration file and the TLC output is
attached below if anyone is interested in how that all looks
like. Not sure if it is interesting enough for the
tlaplus/examples repository.
