[Cs5500] [CS4800] HSRInstanceSet Question

Hi Alex:

keep in mind that SCG Court is a teaching platform for thousands of
different playgrounds of which HSR is only one. SCG Court is therefore
general and HSR does not need all this generality.

As you say, XYZInstanceSet is in general a set of instances over which we
quantify with an existential
or a universal quantifier. It happens that for HSR the HSRInstanceSet
contains only one instance which
makes the provide function trivial. But this is not the case in other
playgrounds, like MMG (see hw1).

Does this make sense?
