In this paper we continue the study, from Frittaion, Steila and Yokoyama (2017), on size-change termination in the context of Reverse Mathematics. We analyze the soundness of the SCT method. In particular, we prove that the statement "any program which satisfies the combinatorial condition provided by the SCT criterion is terminating" is equivalent to $\mathrm{WO}(\omega_3)$ over $\mathsf{RCA_0}$

    Operational inexpressibility is identified as the property that blocks derivations depending on input dimension from constraining the target in term-rewriting systems, with the step-duplicating primitive recursor as t...

    The paper defines operational inexpressibility for step-duplicating primitive recursors in term rewriting and classifies sound responses into construction or confession methods while linking them to reflection hierarc...
