Arithmetic completeness of the reflection calculus with nabla

Let TT be a theory, and let RC{\mathrm{RC}^\nabla\hspace{-0.7pt}} be the reflection calculus with modalities n\Diamond_n and n\nabla_n. An arithmetical interpretation * in GT\overline{\mathfrak{G}}_T maps strictly positive modal formulas to GT\overline{\mathfrak{G}}_T as specified by =1T\top^*=1_T, (AB)=(ATB)(A\land B)^*=(A^*\land_T B^*), (nA)=Rn(A)(\Diamond_n A)^*=R_n(A^*), and (nA)=Πn+1(A)(\nabla_n A)^*=\mathit{\Pi}_{n+1}(A^*). Arithmetic completeness means that whenever ATBA^*\vdash_T B^* for every arithmetical interpretation *, then ARCBA\vdash_{{\mathrm{RC}^\nabla\hspace{-0.7pt}}}B. Arithmetic completeness conjecture. If TT is arithmetically sound, then RC{\mathrm{RC}^\nabla\hspace{-0.7pt}} is arithmetically complete: the converse of the soundness theorem holds. This would characterize derivability in the reflection calculus exactly by validity under all arithmetical interpretations in GT\overline{\mathfrak{G}}_T.
