Comparison of constructive multi-typed theory with subsystems of second order arithmetic

Logic 2015-05-01 v1

Abstract

This paper describes an axiomatic theory BT for constructive mathematics. BT has a predicative comprehension axiom for a countable number of set types and usual combinatorial operations. BT has intuitionistic logic, is consistent with classical logic and has such constructive features as consistency with formal Church thesis, and existence and disjunction properties. BT is mutually interpretable with a so called theory of arithmetical truth PATr and with a second-order arithmetic SA that contains infinitely many sorts of sets of natural numbers. We compare BT with some standard second-order arithmetics and investigate the proof-theoretical strengths of fragments of BT, PATr and SA.
