Let $\sf PA$ denote the theory of natural numbers with constants $(0, 1)$ and binary operators $(+,\times)$ based on the first-order predicate calculus with equality, having the following axioms, where … is the union of sets of axioms of all $\sf PA_\beta$, where $\beta<\alpha$ Apparently, each of $\sf PA_\alpha$ is recursively axiomatizable. …
