Is Turing degree actually useful in real life?
Application to everyday life
Any time you watch the "spinning beach ball" or "hour glass" on your computer, trying to decide whether it's time to reboot or just wait a little longer, you are doing som …

A non-associative three-valued logic
It sounds like you are describing a situation where $a$ is more true than $b$, $b$ is more true than $c$, but nevertheless $c$ is more true than $a$. I am not sure about the best starting point in loo …

Languages beyond enumerable
Yes, for starters there is the arithmetical hierarchy, where enumerable = $\Sigma^0_1$ and it continues $\Pi^0_1$, $\Delta^0_2$, $\Sigma^0_2$ etc.
See also the Computability Menagerie.

Is 0' of PA degree relative to a non-low set?
No, by the Arslanov completeness criterion $0'$ is only DNC (Diagonally non-computable) relative to low sets. And PA implies DNC.

What is the name for Boolean algebra's version of $\models$ between sets of identities and i...
It seems the name for this idea is equationally complete theory, see page 30 of Walter Taylor's Equational Logic survey.
Not every theory is like that:
for example in the theory of lattices, which is …

How did the Baker-Gill-Solovay paper come to be?
Apparently, we would have gotten at least half of the BGS result without any of the three named authors and also without any of the 4 people they credit, all we needed was Dekhtiar. 😊

Is Van der Waerden's function elementary
Yes, this should follow from the elementary bound. The point is that having a Kalmar elementary time bound is "closed under" searches through exponentially large collections.
Suppose $N=W(r,k)$ is lea …

Examples of $\aleph_0$-categorical nonhomogeneous structures
How about: dense linear order with endpoints.
It's $\aleph_0$-categorical by the same proof as for the case without endpoints.
It's not homogeneous because of the endpoints.

Examples of statements with a high quantifier complexity
The Interchange lemma in the theory of formal languages has a $\Pi_5$ form:
$\forall L$, if $L$ is a context-free language, then
$\exists c$, $c$ is a positive integer, such that
$\forall n\ge 2$, $R …

Source on smooth equivalence relations under continuous reducibility?
Seems like this structure must be pretty complicated. For example, consider Brownian motion $\{W_t\}_{t\ge 0}$ with the equivalence relations
$$t\sim_\omega s\iff W_t(\omega)=W_s(\omega).$$
Here $\ome …

Why is weak Kőnig's lemma weaker than Kőnig's lemma?
The issue is that for a finitely branching subtree $T$ of $\omega^{<\omega}$, the function $f$ mapping $\sigma$ to the greatest $n$ such that the concatenation $\sigma ^\frown n$ is in $T$ may not be …

Is the equational theory of groups axiomatized by the associative law?
Yes. It suffices to show that any free semigroup embeds in a group.
For this I refer you to MO question 3235:
Let $F$ be a free semigroup (say, $2$-generated) which is embedded in a group $G$, an …

How does proof assistant organize knowledge?
Of course a hard part is to know whether two similar-looking lemmas are really related, and even more whether two superficially very different statements might have a short proof of their equivalence. …

Downward density of w-REA sets under arithmetic reducibility?
Probably still open. James Barnes' dissertation (2018) addresses initial segments under the arithmetic reducibility, but is not specifically about $\omega$-CEA degrees.
