Abstract

This note is a case study for finding universal measures for weak implicit computational complexity. We will instantiate “universal measures” by “dynamic ordinals”, and “weak implicit computational complexity” by “bounded arithmetic”. Concretely, we will describe the connection between dynamic ordinals and witness oracle Turing machines for bounded arithmetic theories.
