contents This paper presents a formal theory of Krivine's classical realisability interpretation for first-order Peano arithmetic ($\mathsf{PA}$). To formulate the theory as an extension of $\mathsf{PA}$, we first modify Krivine's original definition to the form of number realisability, similar to Kleene's intuitionistic realisability for Heyting arithmetic. By axiomatising our realisability with additional predicate symbols, we obtain a first-order theory $\mathsf{CR}$ which can formally realise every theorem of $\mathsf{PA}$. Although $\mathsf{CR}$ itself is conservative over $\mathsf{PA}$, adding a type of reflection principle that roughly states that ``realisability implies truth'' results in $\mathsf{CR}$ being essentially equivalent to the Tarskian theory $\mathsf{CT}$ of typed compositional truth, which is known to be proof-theoretically stronger than $\mathsf{PA}$. Thus, $\mathsf{CT}$ can be considered a formal theory of classical realisability. We also prove that a weaker reflection principle which preserves the distinction between realisability and truth is sufficient for $\mathsf{CR}$ to achieve the same strength as $\mathsf{CT}$. Furthermore, we formulate transfinite iterations of $\mathsf{CR}$ and its variants, and then we determine their proof-theoretic strength.
