from $v$ to $w$. $U_a(v)$ signifies that $v$'s label is $a$.

For convenience, we will also make use of the binary relation $\leq$, with $v
\leq w$ signifying that $v$ is an ancestor of $w$ (with every vertex being an
ancestor of itself; $<$ can be used to signify a strict ancestor). Note that in
-the case of MSO on trees, $\leq$ could be defined using just the edge relation

We make use of a fundamental theorem tying MSO logic on trees and tree automata:
