Dec 13, 2016 at 17:32 comment added Noah Schweber @Goldstern Thanks! At a glance it seems like it might do, but I don't have time right now to read it in detail - regardless, it looks interesting.
Dec 13, 2016 at 17:27 comment added Goldstern It seems to me that the construction that I sketch in mathoverflow.net/questions/63497/… will give a continuous function . (I have to check the details, because that construction uses sequences of names, not sequences of natural numbers.)
Jan 11, 2016 at 4:46 comment added Noah Schweber "Continuity" is just the lowest level of the hierarchy, so that's where I start.
Jan 11, 2016 at 4:45 comment added Noah Schweber @BoazTsaban Sorry for the late reply, I only just saw your comment. This question is motivated partly by the linked questions (especially Andreas' answer to "Two strengthenings"), as well as general descriptive set theoretic instincts: saying "$A$ is strong measure zero" asserts the existence of a functional with certain properties, and it's natural to ask how the complexity of that functional will affect the set $A$. In particular, "simple" witnessing functionals ought to imply that $A$ is countable (assuming reasonable set-theoretic hypotheses). That's what I'm interested in here. (cont'd)
Jan 11, 2016 at 4:43 comment added Noah Schweber Please do not replace the "descriptive set theory" tag (which is appropriate, and well-used) with "selection principles" (which is appropriate, but only has 8 questions attached to it currently).

Dec 14, 2015 at 17:09 comment added Boaz Tsaban Could you supply some motivation for this question? The reason I see a need for one is that continuity deals with the head of the sequence, whereas covering depends on the tail, so I see no clear connection. The question makes sense, but I seek for motivation.
