Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We continue to develop a new first-order combinatorial approach presenting a conceptual framework for investigations concerning expressive power of first-order logic. In this work, we consider the case of infinitary first-order combinatorics. Based on the universal construction of finitely axiomatizable theories, we introduce some common scheme yielding finitely axiomatizable theories with pre-assigned sets of model-theoretic properties. At an initial stage, a maximum common Turing’s computation is performed (one can say, computable Brute Force). Starting from an input block of parameters, the computation yields a computably axiomatizable theory T . Finally, by applying an available version of the universal construction, the theory T is transformed into a finitely axiomatizable theory F that inherits model-theoretic properties of T within the infinitary semantic layer. We also give three demonstrations showing possibilities of this method.
