It is not the case that Therefore, collapsing expressive hierarchy to Π^1_1 for model-theoretic cardinals misrepresents the orthogonal dimension of definitional complexity.

Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.
Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
Π^1_1 is sufficient to express all relevant model-theoretic cardinal properties in standard set-theoretic foundations.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
The claimed 'orthogonal dimension' lacks clear formal definition independent of the hierarchy being rejected.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Empirically, working mathematicians successfully use standard complexity classifications without the proposed refinement.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Π^1_1 formulas capture only second-order existential quantification, leaving higher-order definitional stratification unrepresented.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Model-theoretic cardinals exhibit definability properties orthogonal to arithmetical hierarchy, requiring independent complexity metrics.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Collapsing distinct expressive dimensions into single framework obscures structural insights about definitional independence.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
