Abstract

Elementary Recursive Nonstandard Analysis, in short ERNA, is a constructive system of nonstandard analysis with a PRA consistency proof, proposed around 1995 by Patrick Suppes and Richard Sommer. It is built on a previous system by Rolando Chuaqui and Patrick Suppes, which was recently reconsidered by Michal Rössler and Emil Jeřábek. A $\Pi _1 $ -transfer principle has already been added to ERNA and the consistency of the resulting theory proved in PRA. Here, we equip ERNA with Σ₂-transfer and a saturation principle, while keeping the consistency proof inside PRA. We show that the extended theory allows for generalized transfer, a basic tool of nonstandard analysis, and interprets several strong theories, like BΣ₂ and IΣ₂
