Definability in arithmetic: correction: "[a real is] arithmetical [if and only if its Dedekind cut is at level <math>\Delta^0_1</math> of the arithmetical hierarchy]" -> "computable"
Line 45:
Every computable number is arithmetical, but not every arithmetical number is computable. For example, the limit of a Specker sequence is an arithmetical number that is not computable.
 
The definitions of arithmetical and analytical reals can be stratified into the [[arithmetical hierarchy]] and [[analytical hierarchy]]. In general, a real is arithmeticalcomputable if and only if its Dedekind cut is at level <math>\Delta^0_1</math> of the arithmetical hierarchy, one of the lowest levels. Similarly, the reals with arithmetical Dedekind cuts form the lowest level of the analytical hierarchy.
