Abstract: The first order theory of the decomposition of measures with respect to dimension which has been developed by Kahane, Katznelson, Cutler, and others is extended through transfinite recursion to a $\omega _1$ -order theory. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite regular Borel measure on $% [0,d]^{\omega _1}$ to be a $\omega _1$ -order multispectrum for a finite Borel measure on $\mathbb {R}^d$ is given.
