   Format: MarkdownItexThanks! I have added more hyperlinks, have cross-linked the two entries, and have cross linked with entries such as _[[recursion]]_, _[[set]]_, _[[function]]_, _[[definable set]]_.

   Thanks! I have added more hyperlinks, have cross-linked the two entries, and have cross linked with entries such as recursion, set, function, definable set.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks guys -- I'm still adding stuff. Partial recursive or primitive recursive functions $\mathbb{N}^k \to \mathbb{N}$ may be regarded as $k$-ary operations $k \to 1$ of a Lawvere theory. Is there any literature on algebras over these Lawvere theories?

   Format: MarkdownItexWell -- maybe answering my own question -- this looks like it might be connected with Joyal's arithmetic universes or arithmetic pretoposes. As a first guess as to what's going on, perhaps it's true that in the Lawvere theory of primitive recursive functions (say), the generating object $1$ is a parametrized natural numbers object. And perhaps the Lawvere theory of primitive recursive functions is initial among such Lawvere theories. (Which would be a nice POV on things. But for now I'm guessing without calculating.)
