Generalized unprovability of Herbrand consistency for IDelta0{\rm IDelta}_0

Let IDelta0{\rm IDelta}_0 be the bounded-induction theory of arithmetic, let Ωn{\rm \Omega}_n denote the corresponding family of axioms, and let HCon(IDelta0){\rm HCon}^*({\rm IDelta}_0) denote the paper's notion of Herbrand consistency for IDelta0{\rm IDelta}_0. Consider the union of the theories IDelta0+Ωn{\rm IDelta}_0+{\rm \Omega}_n over all nn. Generalized Herbrand-consistency unprovability conjecture.

n(IDelta0+Ωn)⊬HCon(IDelta0).\bigcup_n({\rm IDelta}_0+{\rm \Omega}_n)\not\vdash {\rm HCon}^*({\rm IDelta}_0).

The conjecture proposes extending Kołodziejczyk's unprovability result using the paper's coding techniques and definitions of Herbrand consistency. Its status is not determined by the supplied source context.
