In this paper we present a contribution to a classical result of E. Ellentuck in the theory of regressive isols. E. Ellentuck introduced the concept of a hyper‐torre isol, established their existence for regressive isols, and then proved that associated with these isols a special kind of semi‐ring of isols is a model of the true universal‐recursive statements of arithmetic. This result took on an added significance when it was later shown that for regressive isols, the property of being hyper‐torre is equivalent to being hereditarily odd‐even. In this paper we present a simplification to the original proof for establishing that equivalence. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
