  • By reformulating the classical proof as a Baire Category argument, we show that Besicovitch's Theorem in Cantor space is provable in $ACA_0$, and additionally that the witnessing subset is computable from one jump of the original set. We show that the necessary formulation of Baire Category, which we call Baire Category Theorem for Closed Sets (BCTC), is equivalent to $ACA_0$, contrasting with previous results on the reverse math strength of Baire Category variants. We also examine the implications of BCTC for more general monotone functions on closed sets, and explore how changing the representation of a closed set affects the reverse math strength of its measure regularity properties.
