Predicative well-ordering
arXiv:1811.03543
Abstract
Confusion over the predicativist conception of well-ordering pervades the literature and is responsible for widespread fundamental misconceptions about the nature of predicative reasoning. This short note aims to explain the principal fallacy, first noted in [N. Weaver, Predicativity beyond Gamma_0, arXiv:math/0509244], and some of its consequences.
