The first-order theory of a bijection f with named inverse g and no finite cycles has first-order models consisting of disjoint integer orbits. Atomic logical formulas reduce to xj​=fk(xi​) for integer k. An existential logical variable is either fixed by such a logical equality or must avoid finitely many points. This proves quantifier elimination and completeness. There is one complete one-type; the complete two-types are the integer offsets and the nonprincipal different-orbit partial type. There are countably many finite-arity partial types but countable first-order models with different numbers of orbits are not isomorphic.
