Abstract

We construct an increasing omega-sequence < a(n)> of Turing degrees which forms an initial segment of the Turing degrees, and such that each a(n+1) is diagonally nonrecursive relative to a(n). It follows that the DNR principle of reverse mathematics does not imply the existence of Turing incomparable degrees.
