Let me clarify the relationship between PV₁ and reverse mathematics systems, as there are actually two different research programs here: Two Different Programs 1. Classical Reverse Mathematics (over RCA₀) The standard reverse mathematics program, pioneered by Harvey Friedman and Stephen Simpson, works over second-order arithmetic and studies which set existence axioms are needed to prove theorems of ordinary mathematics. The main systems form the "Big Five": RCA₀ (Recursive Comprehension Axiom) WKL₀ (Weak König's Lemma) ACA₀ (Arithmetic Comprehension Axiom) ATR₀ (Arithmetic Transfinite Recursion) Π¹₁-CA₀ (Π¹₁ Comprehension Axiom) 2. Bounded Reverse Mathematics (over PV₁ or similar) This is a separate program studying computational complexity rather than computability. It analyzes which theorems require which computational resources.
