We first exhibit a monotonic scientist that identifies Image-1207.gif. Let GN be an index for N. Let 0112-001.gif be an index for Image-1208.gif. Let Gj be an index for Lj that can be effectively obtained from j. Let 0112-002.gif denote an index for 0112-003.gif that can be effectively obtained from j and m. Let 0112-004.gif. Now let M be a scientist that, for each  s 
0112-005.gif.
It is easy to verify that M is monotonic and identifies Image-1209.gif.
Next we show that no weak-monotonic scientist identifies Image-1210.gif Suppose scientist Mj identifies Image-1211.gif Consider the language Lj. Clearly, 0112-006.gif because otherwise 0112-007.gif and Mj does not identify Lj. Let 0112-008.gif, hence 0112-009.gif. Suppose  s  is an extension of Tj[m] such that 0112-010.gif and 0112-011.gif Such a  s  exists as 0112-012.gif and Mj identifies Image-1212.gif Thus we have 0112-013.gif, which violates the weak-monotonicity property for identification of 0112-014.gif by Mj. Thus Mj fails to be weak monotonic.
The next proposition shows that there are collections of languages that can be identified by weak-monotonic scientists but not identified by any monotonic scientists.
5.57 Proposition 0112-015.gif.
The above proposition (together with Proposition 5.54) implies the following corollary.
5.58 Corollary
(a) 0112-016.gif
(b) 0112-017.gif.
Proof (Proposition 5.57): This argument is based on a technique due to Lange and Zeugmann [119].
For each m and n, we define:
0112-018.gif
0112-019.gif
0112-020.gif
