If these facts are useful then I suggest that they be added to this article as well the article 'recursively enumerable set', and even if they are totally useless, perhaps they are interesting enough to be included anyway. Let me know what you think. 33: 843:
To Vladimir: Thanks. It would be nice to find a restriction which would allow us to include this extension. Essentially the Gödel numbering itself needs to be recursive or, better, primitive recursive. Notice that the generalized notion of recursive must be closed under composition, and the same as

What would it mean for an algorithm on an arbitrary countable set to be recursive? I don't see a general definition of that which does not assume the prior existence of a numbering. It could be defined on a case by case basis for many of the countable sets which we encounter in practice, because
1057:
Because the empty set and the set of natural numbers are recursive sets, and because recursive sets are closed under intersections, unions, and complements, they form a boolean algebra. Computably enumerable sets are closed under intersections and unions but not under complements and thus form a
470:
My reasons are quite independent of the current state of the article. The fact is that r.e. sets can be significantly more complex than recursive ones, and there's quite a lot to say about them. Since this proposal has attracted no support in more than five months, I'm removing the template.

a paragraph saying that Gödel numbers can be used to extend the definition of recursive to sets which are not subsets of the natural numbers. If no restriction is imposed on how the Gödel numbers are formed, this is false and would make every countable set recursive. Suppose

For anyone keeping this article on their watchlist: there is currently an attempt at merging a number of articles on (non-)recursive/(un)decidable/(un)computable sets/languages/decision problems into a single, thorough article. The experiment currently sits at

One other way is to use the Weirauch-style definitions. Unfortunately we don't seem to have any article on what they call type two computability. The idea is that the numbering is just an arbitrary partial sujection from

Yes, I think you did the right thing. I think I understand Vladimir's point — it's not uncommon to speak of recursive or r.e. sets of this or that sort of thing other than natural numbers, when the things are naturally

as natural numbers. But I don't know that there's a way generalize this observation and put it into the articles, without running into the problem you identify. In any case it would need a source. --

set is the set of numbers which are bounded above by a twin prime, which is not known to be recursive AFAIK. I certainly can't think of a good algorithm for determining that :-)

The diagram at the top of the page is misleading: decidable sets are a subset of recursively enumerable sets, but not of undecidable sets.
1007:
To CBM: Are you saying that we could have a notion of recursive relative to an oracle with the Gödel numbering provided by the oracle? See
1097: 679: 119: 80: 821:
Indeed, without restrictions on encoding it can lead to a wrong conclusion. I will look for sources explaining how to handle this.
826: 719: 693:
You are right; the diagram should be different. I moved it here so people can still see what you are referring to. — Carl
55: 557: 450: 428: 914: 1011:. Although that is still limited to subsets of the natural numbers, perhaps one could encode some sets (beyond 822: 715: 497: 401:
Therefore (proof by cases) this is a recursive set, although it isn't known which of these sets it is. — Carl

You are confused about something. The "set of numbers which are bounded above by a twin prime" is either:
