Abstract: For the Spencer $\delta$-cohomologies of a symbolic system we construct a spectral sequence associated with a subspace. We calculate the sequence for the systems of Cohen-Macaulay type and obtain a reduction theorem, which facilitates computation of $\delta$-cohomologies by reducing dimension of the system. Using this algebraic result we prove an efficient compatibility criterion for a system of two scalar non-linear PDEs on a manifold of any dimension in terms of (generalized) Mayer brackets.
