That's a very nice writeup, thank you a lot!

One thing that seemed a bit surprising to me, especially in light of the paper's strong focus on computation, is that the assumption that the axiomatization is effective is only mentioned in a footnote, and even there it is not explained but we are told to "don't worry about it" if we don't know what that means.

Yet, the code pieces in the paper make critical use of this assumption in that they assume that we can decide (with an algorithm) whether or not a string is a proof. This only works if the axioms are recursive.

So, maybe you could consider adding a short explanation about this to the paper?
