α-Recursion theory was invented simultaneously by Kripke [15] and Platek [22] and served to generalize the theories of Takeuti [34], Machover [20], Kreisel and Sacks [14] and others. Kripke (in [16]) derived machinery to construct an analogue to Kleene's T-predicate enabling him to assert that all of unrelativized ordinary recursion theory (as found in Kleene [13]) lifted to α-recursion theory. As a result, we were able to set down in [8] α-analogues to Blum's [1] well-studied axioms, thus, introducing the study of α-computational complexity theory.
