Infinite-domain index set
For a nonempty set X of words, the property
w∈Infandran(fw,1​)⊆X
(1)
is a nontrivial extensional property of unary partial computable functions: the nowhere-defined function fails it, while any total constant function with value in X satisfies it. The Rice theorem therefore makes its index set undecidable.
