Not according to the revised model theory proposals.  Literal strings would 
graph node labels, and the same literal string label could be used on more 
than one such node (a relaxation of the "tidy graph" requirement).  For 
each node, there would be a single meaning (denotation) in any given 
interpretation.

That is, the "fi" nodes do not get merged.
