Abstract
We investigate the position that foundational theories should be modelled on ordinary computability. In this context, we investigate the metamathematics of formulas. We consider theories whose axioms are implications between formulas, and we show that arbitrarily strong such theories prove their own correctness. We also show that a natural extension of such a theory proves the validity of intuitionistic reasoning for that theory. Finally, we show the equivalence of two completeness principles appropriate to a potentialist conception of the universe of sets.
