As you wander around this forest, you quickly discover two interesting facts:
\begin{enumerate}[itemsep = 1mm]
\item $A$'s responds to $B$ mustn't be the same as $B$'s response to $A$.
\item $A$'s response to $B$ mustn't be the same as $B$'s response to $A$.
\item Given three birds $A$, $B$, and $C$, $(AB)C$ and $A(BC)$ are not necessarily the same bird. \\
Bird $A(BC)$ is $A$'s response to bird $BC$, while $(AB)C$ is $AB$'s response to $C$. \\
Thus, $ABC$ is ambiguous. Parenthesis are mandatory.

We say a bird $A$ is \textit{agreeable} if for all birds $B$, there is at least one bird $x$ on which $A$ and $B$ agree. \\
In other words, $A$ is agreeable if $Ax = Bx$ for some $x$ for all $B$.
In other words, $A$ is agreeable if given any $B$, we can find a bird $x$ satisfying $Ax = Bx$.

The \textit{Kestrel} $K$ is defined by the following relationship:
$$
(Kx)y = x
(Kx)y = x~~~\forall x, y
$$
In other words, this means that for every bird $x$, the bird $Kx$ is fixated on $x$.
