Extending Aanderaa’s classical result that
$\pi ^{1}_{1} < \sigma ^{1}_{1}$
, we determine the order between any two patterns of iterated
$\Sigma ^{1}_{1}$
- and
$\Pi ^{1}_{1}$
-reflection on ordinals. We show that this order of linear reflection is a prewellordering of length
$\omega ^{\omega }$
. This requires considering the relationship between linear and some non-linear reflection patterns, such as
$\sigma \wedge \pi $
, the pattern of simultaneous
$\Sigma ^{1}_{1}$
- and
$\Pi ^{1}_{1}$
-reflection. The proofs involve linking the lengths of
$\alpha $
-recursive wellorderings to various forms of stability and reflection properties satisfied by ordinals
$\alpha $
within standard and non-standard models of set theory.
