Line 3:
EFA is a very weak logical system, whose [[proof theoretic ordinal]] is &omega;<sup>3</sup>, but still seems able to prove much of ordinary mathematics that can be stated in the language of first-order arithmetic.
 
There are weak fragments of second-order arithmetic called RCA{{su|p=*|b=0}} and WKL{{su|p=*|b=0}} that have the same consistency strength as EFA and are conservative over it for &Pi;{{su|p=0|b=2}} sentences, which are sometimes studied in [[reverse mathematics]] {{harvtxt|Simpson|2009}}.
