Abstract
Summary. A constructive realizablity interpretation for classical arithmetic is presented, enabling one to extract witnessing terms from proofs of 1 sentences. The interpretation is shown to coincide with modified realizability, under a novel translation of classical logic to intuitionistic logic, followed by the Friedman-Dragalin translation. On the other hand, a natural set of reductions for classical arithmetic is shown to be compatible with the normalization of the realizing term, implying that certain strategies for eliminating cuts and extracting a witness from the proof of a 1 sentence are insensitive to the order in which reductions are applied.
