For your application, there may be some recent work of Hrushovski on the structural theory of approximate equivalence relations that may be relevant (see ma.huji.ac.il/~ehud/approx-eq.pdf ), though it may not be so easy to translate his general formalism to a specific concrete setting such as yours. | |
