Extract

Given a class U which is the result of closing a finite class of expressions with respect to a binary mode of combination, there exists, according to RFBL,1 a recursively enumerable subclass K* of U, and concepts of representation (5.3) and complete representation (6.2) such that:

(a) A relation among members of U is recursively enumerable if and only if it is represented in K*. (6.7.)

(b) A relation among members of U is recursive if and only if it is completely represented in K*. (6.10.)

2 There is, however, a typographical error in line 4 of page 340. The symbol ‘φ’ should appear as part of a subscript expression ‘φ(x1, …, xn)’ to the left of and slightly below the symbol ‘a’, and should not appear, as it does, on the same level as ‘a’.
