Jun 20, 2019 at 21:35 comment added user44143 There is a standard way to say that! "ZFC + Universes is conservative over ZFC for arithmetical statements."
Jun 20, 2019 at 20:35 comment added Monroe Eskew @MattF. I meant to allow more general examples like for example comparing mutually inconsistent theories in a “standard interpretation” hierarchy. For example comparing $ZFC$ to $ZFC^- +$ “There are exactly 3 infinite cardinals.” I want to say their arithmetical theories are compatible while their general theories need not be.
Jun 20, 2019 at 6:06 comment added Monroe Eskew @PaceNielsen well it proves all of the statements you mention...
Jun 20, 2019 at 0:39 comment added Pace Nielsen I think by "safe" I mean not just consistent with PA, but consistent with all arithmetic true we would naturally accept. This would include Con(PA) as well as Con(PA+Con(PA)), etc... It might also include deeper things like Goodstein's theorem.
