    Examples of use of ordinal computability / ordinals in classical recursion theor...

    I am a PhD student and in the process of making a talk to my team of research, I am looking for examples of usage of ordinals or ordinal computability (via ITTMs or other models) in regular (non infinite time) computability. I so far have two examples...

    Are ITTM's necessary to compute Turing's "computable numbers" and what does that...

    In his celebrated paper, "On Computable Numbers, With An Application To the Entscheidungsproblem", Turing defines a "computable number" as follows:
    The "computable" numbers may be described briefly as the real numbers whose expressions as a decimal are calculable by finite means....According to my definition, a number is computable if its decimal can be written down by a machine....

    Can you consistently add axioms about the Busy Beaver function to ZF?

    Consider a Turing Machine with $N$ states which checks all theorems of ZF and halts upon finding a contradiction. If ZF were consistent and could prove the value of $BusyBeaver(N)$, then it would be able to prove its own consistency, which Gödel proved...

    Turing Machine which generates order on the set of its states

    This question is related to this one Do Turing Machines generates any nontrivial lattice on the set o symbols or states?
    The Turing machine (TM) is an abstract model for effective implementation of (finite algorithmic) calculation. TM is defined over some alphabet of symbols L and reading data performs a finite sequence of operations on these symbols in the manner described...
