The theorem says: If $R(x,y)$ is a recursive relation, then there exists $y\leq2$ such that $R(x,y)$ is recursive.
Here is my attempt of proof:
Since $R(x,Y)$$R(x,y)$ is recursive, we can construct a partial recursive function $f:\mathbb{N}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ be such that $f(x,y)=1$ if $(x,y)\in R$ and $f(x,y)=0$ if $(x,y)\notin R$.
Let $y=2$. Then either $(x,y)\in R$ or $(x,y)\notin R$. So we can just construct a partial recursive function $f'$ that basically fixfixes $y=2$ and takes an input $(x,y)\in\mathbb{N}^2$$x\in\mathbb{N}$ and runs $f$ on it$(x,2)$.
Is this enough? Can I generalize this for any values of $y$ or does this only apply for when $y\leq 2$?
