Constructive Mathematical Truth

Abstract

We define constructive truth for arithmetic and for intuitionistic analysis, and investigate its properties. We also prove that the set of constructively true (first order) arithmetical statements is Pi-1-2 and Sigma-1-2 hard, and we conjecture it to be complete for second order arithmetic. A statement is constructively true iff it is realized by a constructive function under continuous function realizability.
