We prove, for each 4 ≤ n < ω, that SRaCAn+1 cannot be defined, using only finitely many first-order axioms, relative to SRaCAn. The construction also shows that for 5 ≤ n < ω, SRaCAn is not finitely axiomatisable over RAn, and that for 3 ≤ m < n < ω, SNrmCAn+1 is not finitely axiomatisable over SNrmCAn. In consequence, for a certain standard n-variable first-order proof system `m,n of m-variabl...
