....sublanguage of XASM, including constructor terms, pattern matching, and derived functions are given in Section 4. Finally, in Section 5 we discuss related work. 2 Formal Semantics of ASMs The mathematical model behind an ASMs is that a state is represented by an algebra or Tarski structure [27] i.e. a collection of functions and a universe of elements, and state transitions occur by updating functions point wise and creating new elements. Of course not all functions can be updated. The basic arithmetic operations (like add, which takes two operands) are typically not redefinable. The ....

THE CATEGORY OF INNER MODELS 255 By TARSKI s theorem on the undefinability of truth [Ta35] the definition of for pointed inner models can not be carried out within ZFC. Without further details we can resolve this by restricting the Th operator to statements of limited quantifier complexity. If models M and N agree below some ordinal then methods from M can be applied to N as ....

....of maintaining separated the object level and the metalevel search spaces. We restrict ourselves to a two theory framework; on the other hand the results presented here can be easily extended to a tower of any number of levels. In this sense, our approach is similar to that taken by Tarski in [Tar36] in his definition of a metatheory for the calculus of classes. There are, on the other hand, two major differences. First, Tarski s is a metatheory for the definition of truth , while ours is about provability. His goal was in fact to prove the undefinability of the truth predicate while ours ....

....Turing, A. Church, and A. Tarski demonstrated the undecidability of first order logic. Specifically, the set of all valid first order sentences was shown to be undecidable [Chu36, Tur37] whereas the set of all first order sentences that are true in arithmetic was shown to be highly undecidable [Tar35] Today, mathematical logic is a mature and highly sophisticated research area with deep results and a number of applications in certain areas of mathematics. All in all, however, it is fair to say that the interaction between logic and mathematics has been rather limited. In particular, ....

....by ffl. Thus, for instance, we can consider the degree of completeness of a correct metatheory or, viceversa, the degree of correctness of a complete metatheory. And so on. A lot of the work on metatheoretic reasoning can be found in the literature (a long but largely incomplete list is [21, 6, 20, 3, 10, 12, 24, 17, 16, 4, 13, 1]) As far as we know, all of this work is aimed at defining and studying the properties of specific metatheories. Nobody has ever developed a theory which would allow for a uniform study and comparison of the various metatheories which have been or can be defined. The goal of this paper is to make ....

Tarski, in order to study the defineability of the truth predicate in (certain) formalized languages, introduced the notion of formal metatheory [Tar36] In order to state some properties of the object theory he gave himself the ability to mention object level syntactic objects, namely he gave himself names for the elements of the lexicon. In doing so he distinguished between two particular kinds of names: ffl quotation mark names. By ....

Nevertheless all theoremsmust be ....

....a matter of debate whether or not this can be seen as an internalization of the discussion in Martin Lof [21] on simple minded versus metamathematical consistency. On the one hand, it is quite tempting to look at the opposition object (syntactic) level versus meta (semantic) level (compare Tarski [27]) in the formalisation as the counterpart to the opposition syntax versus semantics according to the meaning explanations of Martin Lof [21] On the other hand, it can be argued that the real semantics contains completely different dimensions. For instance, the real semantics has to do with the ....

....the second question to be answered is how MK relates to the formal systems used in logic or theorem proving. In mathematical logic, much work has been done on hierarchies of metatheories, on selfreflective theories and so on. As hinted above, the work which most closely resembles ours is Tarski s [40] as he, also, had a hierarchy of multiple languages. Besides the trivial observation that he was interested in axiomatizing truth, more than provability, there are substantial differences between his and our work: in MK (contrarily to what happens in Tarski s work) all the metatheories are ....

In fact, Frege is the first person who explicitly defended the role of symbolic formalism as a general representation to be applied to arbitrary domains.

Several authors have proposed to extend this type structure to transfinite ordinals, e.g. ....

....It is still possible to define predicates such as long (e.g. as 8x long(x) length(x) 8) but not to define problematic predicates like heterogeneous. However, while the predicate heterogeneous is not crucial for a meta system, the True predicate is, and this is excluded as well. Tarski [17] gave a famous definition of truth: True( A ) A as axiom schema for arbitrary formulae A. While this definition seems to be obvious and to form a minimal requirement to relate strings and the objects they stand for, it already is a source of problems: The famous liar sentence This sentence is ....

....minimal requirements when necessary. 14.2.2 Formalization and supporting metatheory Syntax. The idea of encoding the syntax of one language in another goes back at least to Godel [God31] who proposed representing formulas of firstorder logic as constants in a theory of arithmetic and Tarski [Tar36] who suggested encodings based on structural descriptive names where each formula is associated with a term that mimics its structure. For example, under Tarski s approach one might encode the formula A (B C) as the term or(A,and(B,C) The importance of this approach has been highlighted by ....

In this appendix, we include the definitions from first order logic that are used in this thesis.

For a more extensive introduction, we refer to [CL73, Llo87, Men87, BJ89] A.1 ....

The standard semantics of this logic is analogous to Alfred Tarski s settheoretic semantics of first order logic [21]. It has been extended by Leon Henkin [12] to the general model semantics used in the sequel: the class of models is enlarged so that it is possible to find sound and complete calculi. Every proof found in such a calculus is in particular a proof with respect to the standard semantics. An ....
