    The author constructs a myriad of theories whose strengths lie between that of RCA\(_0\) and WKL\(_0\). The proof technique applies an extension of a result of \textit{S. Binns} and \textit{S. G. Simpson} [``Embeddings into the Medvedev and Muchnik lattices of \(\Pi^0_1\) classes'', Arch. Math. Logic 43, No. 3, 399--414 (2004; Zbl 1058.03041)] to embed the free distributive lattice with countably many generators into the Lindenbaum algebra of sentences that imply RCA\(_0\) and are provable from WKL\(_0\).
