Jul 25, 2011 at 14:57 comment added Ali Enayat @Cole: my choice was informed by the fact that the truth set of $\Sigma_n$-sentences of arithmetic is Turing equivalent to $0^{(n)}$.
Jul 25, 2011 at 5:20 comment added Cole Leahy @Ali: When you said we could "identify" the sets S-n from my original posting with the codeset for Sigma-0-n truths of arithmetic, did you have something special in mind, or were you just observing that both are Sigma-0-n complete with respect to Turing reducibility?
Jul 25, 2011 at 5:09 comment added Cole Leahy @Ali: Your approach is sensible. When I spoke of purity, perhaps I was just trying to rationalize having spent time reinventing a wheel. In any case, it was a good exercise for a student like me.
Jul 25, 2011 at 2:33 comment added Ali Enayat @Cole: everything else being equal, my approach to MO answers gravitates towards not* re-inventing the wheel. For many of us, Logic, Model Theory, and Recursion Theory are all parts of the same subject; with all due respect to purity of methods; whose charms I will never deny.
Jul 24, 2011 at 23:27 comment added Cole Leahy Thanks for your reply, Ali. Lamentably, I didn't mention that I seek a more direct proof that there is a set Q meeting my description. Before posting, I had already skimmed the part of Rogers you mention; I wasn't satisfied with the observation that the codeset of true arithmetic is hyperarithmetical but not arithmetical. This is partly because that observation doesn't immediately yield a Q as I described, and partly because it requires a detour through logic and model theory which, for the sake of purity, I want to avoid. I think (?) I've found a more recursion theoretic proof, posted below.
