Erdős problem 593

Erdos Problem #593 asks which finite triple systems occur in every uncountably chromatic triple system. The answer is exactly the class generated from private-vertex expansions of finite bipartite graphs by finite disjoint unions and one-point amalgamations. Problem #1177 on exact spectra is settled alongside it.

Monotonicity of the obligatory property: If F₁ appears in F₂ and F₂ is obligatory, then F₁ is also obligatory.

Proof: For any H with χ(H)>ℵ0\chi(H) > \aleph_0, since F₂ is obligatory, F₂ appears in H via some injection φ₂. Since F₁ appears in F₂ via φ₁, the composition φ₂ ∘ φ₁ witnesses that F₁ appears in H.
