Abstract

We consider different classes of combinatory structures related to Krivine realizability. We show, in the precise sense that they give rise to the same class of triposes, that they are equivalent for the purpose of modeling higher-order logic. We center our attentions in the role of a special kind of Ordered Combinatory Algebras-- that we call the "Krivine ordered combinatory algebras" (KOCA\mathcal{KOCA}s)-- that we propose as the foundational pillars for the categorical perspective of Krivine's classical realizability as presented by Streicher. Our procedure is the following: we show that each of the considered combinatory structures gives rise to an indexed preorder, and describe a way to transform the different structures into each other that preserves the associated indexed preorders up to equivalence. Since all structures give rise to the same indexed preorders, we only prove that they are triposes once: for the class of KOCA\mathcal{KOCA}s. We finish showing that in KOCA\mathcal{KOCA}s, one can define realizability in every higher-order language and in particular in higher-order arithmetic.
