2 Hyperarithmetic theory
In this chapter, we introduce the hyperarithmetic hierarchy and prove that the class of hyperarithmetic sets is precisely that of the -sets. Hence the hyperarithmetic hierarchy provides the right framework for analyzing and -sets. This equivalence also allows one to perform transfinite induction over -sets.
