| contents | In \cite{Ca2016} and \cite{Ca2018}, we introduced a notion of effective reducibility between set-theoretical $Π_{2}$-statements; in \cite{Ca2025}, this was extended to statements of arbitrary (potentially even infinite) quantifier complexity. We also considered a corresponding notion of Weihrauch reducibility, which allows only one call to the effectivizer of $ψ$ in a reduction of $ϕ$ to $ψ$. In Stammes \cite{StammesMaster}, a considerably refined analysis through interpolating between these two notions was proposed, where one asks how many calls to an effectivizer for $ψ$ are required for effectivizing $ϕ$. This allows us to make formally precise questions such as ``how many ordinals does one need to check for being cardinals in order to compute the cardinality of a given ordinal?'' and (partially) answer many of them. Many of these anwers turn out to be independent of ZFC. |
