Aug 3, 2021 at 22:14 comment added BPP I originally meant what you're calling a simple notion of deduction, so I think I was wrong. But deduction with the $\omega$-rule is not simple in your sense, so that question is still non-trivial, right?
Aug 3, 2021 at 22:03 comment added Noah Schweber I mean, before you can be wrong or not you need to specify what notion of "follows from" you have in mind. The computability-theoretic point in my comment above means that any "simple" notion of deduction won't do the trick (e.g. it can't be a proof in the sense of Henkin semantics since the set of Henkin consequences of a ${\bf 0^{(\omega)}}$-computable theory will be ${\bf 0^{(\omega+1)}}$-computable).
Aug 3, 2021 at 21:57 comment added BPP I could be misinterpreting what they proved. My understanding is that they proved that every true $\Pi^1_1$ sentence is provable using the $\omega$-rule. I assumed this is equivalent to saying that every true $\Pi^1_1$ sentence follows from true arithmetic sentences, but now I see that I could be wrong in assuming that (although I'm not sure why that would be wrong). If I am wrong (in which case the answer to my question is $m=0$ and any $n$), I'd still be interested in the modified question where we allow the use of the $\omega$-rule in the definition of "follows from" in step 2.
Aug 3, 2021 at 21:08 comment added Noah Schweber I don't have access to the linked article but I don't see a sense in which $\Pi^1_1$ sentences follow from true arithmetic sentences in general. There's a very coarse obstacle here: the true first-order theory of $\mathbb{N}$ has Turing degree ${\bf 0^{(\omega)}}$ but the true $\Pi^1_1$ theory of $\mathbb{N}$ isn't even hyperarithmetic.
