Mar 21 at 19:02 comment added Noah Schweber @C7X To be honest, as a rank outsider I'm rather skeptical of Arai's claim. Certainly he's one of the best proof theorists in the world, but this is a really strong result. I don't know how confident the community is that it's correct yet.
Mar 21 at 4:01 comment added C7X Does Arai's new preprint (arXiv 2311.12459) claiming an ordinal analysis of second-order arithmetic affect this answer? The supremum of order types of computable well-orders provably well-founded in second-order arithmetic is determined, and in section 8 there are results on its 1-consistency and 2-consistency.

Mar 8, 2014 at 14:59 comment added user44143 I like the answer; it makes me wonder: What does it mean to have the ordinal "in hand"? Presumably you mean something more that a formula uniquely defining it, perhaps a formula of a certain form. But what form?
