Title: The tree method for priority arguments

Abstract:  We will introduce a tree construction for a priority argument by introducing a priority tree in which every node has a strategy for satisfying a corresponding requirement. At the end, we define a true path, which in the case of the finite injury argument can be computed using the halting set. The nodes along the true path satisfy the requirements of the construction.
