Abstract

We define, in the spirit of Fenstad [2], a higher type computation theory, and show that countable recursion over the continuous functionals forms such a theory. We also discuss Hyland's proposal from [4] for a scheme with which to supplement S1–S9, and show that this augmented set of schemes fails to generate countable recursion. We make another proposal to which the methods of this section do not apply.
