Abstract

After the discovery of the arithmetical hierarchy Mostowski realized that there are further general recursion-theoretic facts which lie in the foundation of the incompleteness theorems and related results. In his articles (see Mostowski, 1979) he has made attempts to investigate formal systems from the recursion-theoretic point of view. Particularly, he has shown that the restriction to recursively enumerable systems is irrelevant for the 1st incompleteness theorem.
