Can the omega-rule rescue Hilbert's program?

Note: In Buldt's paper "The Scope of Goedel's First Incompletness Theorem" (find it under title on the web), he has the following statement (in Section 3.3): "When we enter the (small) transfinite, w …

Are Separation and Types the only way to avoid paradoxes?

In point of fact, there are (at least) a couple more ways to circumvent the paradoxes brought about by the use of the unrestricted comprehension axiom $\exists$$y$$\forall$$x$($x$$\in$$y$$\leftrighta …

A question regarding a fragment of Robinson Arithmetic

In his answer to the following mathoverflow question, The (un)decidability of Robinson Arithmetic without multiplication, Emil Jerabek proved that the following fragment: $\forall$x(Sx$\neq$0) $\for …

Can Basic Law $V$ be derived from Leibniz's Law in Second-Order Logic without comprehension ...

Consider Basic Law $V$: $\hat x$$F$($x$)=$\hat x$$G$($x$)$\equiv$($\forall$$x$)($F$$x$$\equiv$$G$$x$) At first glance, it seems to have the same form as Leibniz's law $x$=$y$$\equiv$($\forall$$F$)( …

Literature on Kripke models

I can't say that this is the 'best' introduction to Kripke models (as 'best' is always a relative term), but John P. Burgess's survey article "Kripke Models" presumes only knowledge of propositional a …

Real-valued measurability vs. Two-valued measurability in determining whether $CH$ holds or not

The following fact is known: If there is a measurable cardinal, then there are only countably many constructible reals. It is also known that if $ZFC$ + "There is a (two-valued) mesurable cardin …

Is a paraconsistent and provably non-trivial foundation for math possible?

One should note that as regards your question 1, systems of relevant arithmetic with inconsistent models such as $R{\sharp}$, $R{\sharp}{\sharp}$, and the systems $RM3^{i}$ can prove (with finitary pr …

A question regarding forcing in $NGBC^{-f}$+$BAFA$

Suppose one has a model $M$$\vDash$$NGBC^{-f}$+BAFA. Does there exist a (class) forcing extension $M[G]$$\vDash$$NGBC^{-f}$+$BAFA$ that has a submodel $N$$\vDash$$NGB^{-f}$+$BAFA$+$\lnot$$AC$? Can o …

What restriction(s) of Goedel's primitive recursive functionals is (are) necessary and suffi...

It is well known that one can use Goedel's primitive recursive functionals of finite type to prove the consistency of $PA$ (Peano Arithmetic). As such, one can certainly use them to prove the consist …

Analogues of Primitive Recursive Functions

Actually, for the case $\mathbb A$=$\mathbb H$$Y$$P_{\mathfrak M}$ (which seems, if I am understanding your question correctly, what you are referring to), since $\mathbb H$$F_{\mathfrak M}$$\subseteq …

Can we add set complements on top of ZF?

Set theoretical multiverse and truths

Since the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic is a theorem of $PA$, it holds for both standard and nonstandard models of $PA$. Since one can interpret $PA$ in both $ZFC$ and $GBC$ (e.g., for $ZFC$, it …

A question regarding Koepke' s Ordinal Computability in HOD
