Hyperarithmetical Theory

Hyperarithmetical Theory

In recursion theory, hyperarithmetic theory is a generalization of Turing computability. It has close connections with definability in second-order arithmetic and with weak systems of set theory such as Kripkeā€“Platek set theory. It is an important tool in effective descriptive set theory.

Famous quotes containing the word theory:

    There never comes a point where a theory can be said to be true. The most that one can claim for any theory is that it has shared the successes of all its rivals and that it has passed at least one test which they have failed.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
