We explore the interaction between Lebesgue measure and dominating
functions. We show, via both a priority construction and a forcing
construction, that there is a function of incomplete degree
that dominates almost all degrees. This answers a question of Dobrinen
and Simpson, who showed that such functions are related to the
proof-theoretic strength of the regularity of Lebesgue measure for
Gδ sets. Our constructions essentially settle the reverse
mathematical classification of this principle.
