Abstrakt: Japaridze's provability logic |${\operatorname {GLP}}$| has one modality |$[n]$| for each natural number and has been used by Beklemishev for a proof theoretic analysis of Peano arithmetic (⁠|${\operatorname {PA}}$|⁠) and related theories. Among other benefits, this analysis yields the so-called Every Worm Dies (⁠|${\operatorname {EWD}}$|⁠) principle, a natural combinatorial statement independent of |${\operatorname {PA}}$|⁠. Recently, Beklemishev and Pakhomov have studied notions of provability corresponding to transfinite modalities in |${\operatorname {GLP}}$|⁠. We show that indeed the natural transfinite extension of |${\operatorname {GLP}}$| is sound for this interpretation and yields independent combinatorial principles for the second-order theory |${\operatorname {ACA}}$| of arithmetical comprehension with full induction. We also provide restricted versions of |${\operatorname {EWD}}$| related to the fragments |${\operatorname {I\varSigma }}_n$| of PA. In order to prove the latter, we show that standard Hardy functions majorize their variants based on tree ordinals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
