Abstract

In this paper it is shown that the meet-inaccessible degrees are dense in R. The construction uses an 0′-priority argument. As a consequence, the meet-inaccessible degrees and the meet-accessible degrees give a partition of R into two sets, either of which is a nontrivial dense subset of R and generates R − {0} under joins (thus an automorphism base of R).
