A classification of incompleteness statements

Abstract

For which choices of X,Y,Z∈\11,11\ does no sufficiently strong X-sound and Y-definable extension theory prove its own Z-soundness? We give a complete answer, thereby delimiting the generalizations of G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem that hold within second-order arithmetic.
