Optimal Results on ITRM-recognizability

Logic 2026-05-19 v1

Abstract

Exploring further the properties of ITRM-recognizable reals, we provide a detailed analysis of recognizable reals and their distribution in G\"odels constructible universe L. In particular, we show that, for unresetting infinite time register machines, the recognizable reals coincide with the computable reals and that, for ITRMs, unrecognizables are generated at every index bigger than the first limit of admissibles. We show that a real r is recognizable iff it is Σ1\Sigma_{1}-definable over LωωCK,rL_{\omega_{\omega}^{CK,r}}, that rLωωCK,rr\in L_{\omega_{\omega}^{CK,r}} for every recognizable real rr and that either all or no real generated over an index stage LγL_{\gamma} are recognizable.
