There is an error in my first batch of code. It should read:
******************************************
clear*
clear mata
forv i=1/20 {
       matrix A`i' = matuniform(25,36)
       matrix B`i' = matuniform(25,36)
       matrix C`i' = J(25, 1, 0)
}

forv i=1/20 {
       // need Ben Jann's -moremata- package
       mata: mCtemp = mm_cond(rowsum(st_matrix("A`i'")):>
rowsum(st_matrix("B`i'")), rowsum(st_matrix("A`i'")),
rowsum(st_matrix("B`i'")))
       mata: st_replacematrix("C`i'", mCtemp)
}
******************************************

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
