Abstract: The structure , introduced and first analyzed in Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL), is shown to be elementary recursive. Here, denotes the proof-theoretic ordinal of the fragment - of second order number theory, or equivalently the set theory , which axiomatizes limits of models of Kripke-Platek set theory with infinity. The partial orderings and denote the relations of - and -elementary substructure, respectively. In a subsequent article we will show that the structure comprises the core of the structure of pure elementary patterns of resemblance of order . In Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL) the stage has been set by showing that the least ordinal containing a cover of each pure pattern of order is . However, it is not obvious from Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL) that is an elementary recursive structure. This is shown here through a considerable disentanglement in the description of connectivity components of and . The key to and starting point of our analysis is the apparatus of ordinal arithmetic developed in Wilken 2007 (APAL) and in Section 5 of Carlson and Wilken 2012 (JSL), which was enhanced in Carlson and Wilken 2012 (APAL) specifically for the analysis of .
