An oracle is a theoretical "black box" that can give an answer to any instance of a certain problem in a single operation. The problem ⁠can be of any complexity class. It can even be an undecidable problem such as the halting problem.

Types of oracles

  • 0': decide the halting problem for computable programs.
  • 1': decide the halting problem for programs containing 0'
  • Ω': decide the halting problem of any program, including programs containing Ω'[citation needed]
  • Ω2': decide if a programs is well-founded (do not create any kind of paradox)[citation needed]
