A Note on OTM-Realizability and Constructive Set Theories

Logic 2024-03-18 v2

Abstract

We define an ordinalized version of Kleene's realizability interpretation of intuitionistic logic by replacing Turing machines with Koepke's ordinal Turing machines (OTMs), thus obtaining a notion of realizability applying to arbitrary statements in the language of set theory. We observe that every instance of the axioms of intuitionistic first-order logic are OTM-realizable and consider the question which axioms of Friedman's Intuitionistic Set Theory (IZF) and Aczel's Constructive Set Theory (CZF) are OTM-realizable. This is an introductory note, and proofs are mostly only sketched or omitted altogether. It will soon be replaced by a more elaborate version.
