Makkai [10] produced an arithmetical structure of Scott rank ω1CK.
In [9], Makkai’s example is made computable. Here we show that there are
computable trees of Scott rank ω1CK. We introduce a notion of “rank
homogeneity”. In rank homogeneous trees, orbits of tuples can be understood
relatively easily. By using these trees, we avoid the need to pass to the more
complicated “group trees” of [10] and [9]. Using the same kind of
trees, we obtain one of rank ω1CK that is “strongly computably
approximable”. We also develop some technology that may yield further results
of this kind.
