‎First printing. ""1, Introduction . The purpose of this paper is to present two groups of results which have turned out to have a surprisingly close connection. The first two results (Theorems 1 and 2) were inspired by the following question: we know what sets are ""decidable"" namely, the recursive sets (according to Church's Thesis)."" (From the introduction to the present paper). Hilary Whitehall Putnam (1926 - ) is an American philosopher who has been a central figure in analytic philosophy since the 1960s. Putnam approached others as well as his own philosophical positions with scrutiny which made him acquire a reputation for frequently changing his own position. The present article therefore becomes a logical description of his own approach to philosophical problems. Journal of Symbolic Logic, together with Bulletin of Symbolic Logic and Review of Symbolic Logic, is the official journal of Association for Symbolic Logic. The Journal of Symbolic Logic was founded in 1936 and it has become the leading research journal in the field. It is issued quarterly. ‎
