Bounded search and primitive recursion #
codeBall decides a bounded universal statement by minimizing the first
counterexample. The primitive-recursion constructor codePrec minimizes a
Gödel-beta code of the whole computation history: codePrecPredicate states
that a candidate history has the right initial entry and satisfies the step
relation codePrecStep at every index below the argument, and codePrec
reads the final entry out of the least such history.
Each construction is accompanied by the theorem that it realizes the intended
function over the natural numbers. Those Computes theorems are the input of
the standard-model bridge, which turns a computation over ℕ into evaluation at
standard numerals in an arbitrary model.
The characteristic value of ∀ j ≤ v i, dφ j, decided by minimizing the
first index at which dφ fails or the bound is passed.

Equations
Instances For
A candidate history is correct: its initial entry is the base value, and every step below the argument agrees with the step function.
