Extractions: Every day, Gödel's incompleteness theorem is invoked on the net to support some claim or other, or just to whack people over the head with it in a general way. In news, we find such invocations not only in sci.logic, sci.math, comp.ai.philosophy, sci.philosophy.tech and other such places where one might expect them, but with equal frequency in groups dealing with politics or religion, and indeed in alt.cuddle, soc.culture.malaysia, rec.music.hip-hop, and what have you. In short, whenever a bunch of people get together on the net, sooner or later somebody will invoke Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Unsurprisingly, the bulk of these invocations covers a range from the nonsensical to the merely technically inaccurate, and they often give rise to a flurry of corrections and more or less extended technical or philosophical disputes. My purpose in these pages is to provide a set of responses to many such invocations, couched in non-confrontational and hopefully helpful and intelligible terms. There are few technicalities, except in connection with a couple of technical (and less frequently raised) issues. All of my comments and explanations are intended to be non-controversial, in the sense that people who are familiar with the incompleteness theorem can be expected to agree with them. (Thus, for example, I don't present any criticism of so-called Gödelian arguments in the philosophy of mind, but only a couple of technical observations relevant for the discussion of such arguments.)
Gödel's Theorem
Gödel s second incompleteness theorem. Gödels first incompletenesstheorem proves that formal systems T satisfying certain conditions
http://www.sm.luth.se/~torkel/eget/godel/second.html

Extractions: Gödels first incompleteness theorem proves that formal systems T satisfying "certain conditions" are incomplete, i.e. that there is a sentence A in the language of the T which can neither be proved, nor disproved in T. Among the "certain conditions" must be some condition implying that T is consistent. Gödel's second incompleteness theorem proves that formal systems T satisfying certain other conditions "cannot prove their own consistency", in the sense that a suitable formalization in the language of T of the statement "T is consistent" cannot be proved in T. Again one necessary condition is that T is in fact consistent, since otherwise everything is provable in T. The second incompleteness theorem applies in particular to those formal systems that can be used to develop all of the ordinary mathematics that one finds in textbooks. One such system is the axiomatic set theory called ZFC. Since all the theorems ordinarily proved in mathematics can be proved in ZFC, and since the consistency of ZFC cannot be proved in ZFC (unless ZFC is inconsistent), it is often concluded that we cannot expect to prove, and therefore can't know, that ZFC is consistent. "We can't know that mathematics is consistent." This is the conclusion discussed in this section. In commenting on this, first let me mention a widespread misconception. Clearly, for any theory T, there is another theory T' in wich "T is consistent" can be proved. For example, we can trivially define such a theory T' obtained by adding "T is consistent" as a new axiom to T. The misconception consists in the notion that any such theory T' in which "T is consistent" is provable must be

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index In mathematical logic are two celebrated theorems proved by Kurt Gödel in . Somewhat simplified, the first theorem states: In any consistent axiomatic system (formal system of mathematics) sufficiently strong to allow one to do basic arithmetic , one can construct a statement about natural numbers that can be neither proved nor disproved within that system. In this context, an axiomatic system is one with a recursive set of axioms; equivalently, the theorems of the system can be generated by a Turing machine . The statement which cannot be proved nor disproved in the system is furthermore true in the sense that what it asserts about the natural numbers in fact holds. Because the system fails to prove a true statement, it is said to be incomplete . In other words, then, Gödel's first incompleteness theorem says that any sufficiently strong formal system of mathematics is either inconsistent or incomplete. Gödel's second incompleteness theorem, which is proved by formalizing part of the proof of the first within the system itself, states: Any sufficiently strong consistent system cannot prove its own consistency.

Extractions: Definitions Godel's Theorem. The proof, published by Kurt Godel in 1931, of the existence of formally undecidable propositions in any formal system of arithmetic. More precisely, his first incompleteness theorem states that in any formal system S of arithmetic, there will be a sentence P of the language of S such that if S is consistent, neither P nor its negation can be proved in S . This makes it possible to show that there must be a sentence P of S which can be interpreted (very roughly) as saying 'I am not provable'. It is shown that if S is consistent, this sentence is not provable, and hence, it is sometimes argued, P must be true. It is this last step which had led people to claim that Godel's theorem demonstrates the superiority of men over machines - men can prove propositions which no machine (programmed with the axioms and rules of a formal system) can prove. But this is to overlook the point that the proof of the theorem only allows one to conclude that if S is consistent, neither

T of the first order classical theory called NN (which is PA without induction) that can express its own axioms, there is a closed formula such that if either T proves or T proves ¬ then T is inconsistent. The secondary result is that PA is incomplete. There is a closed formula such that neither PA proves , nor PA proves ¬ . This follows from the fact that PA can express its own axioms and a proof that PA rosser.v , and the proof of the incompleteness of PA can be found in rosserPA.v The proof of incompleteness was loosely based on the proof given in An Introduction to Mathematical Logic by Richard E.

Godel Vs. Artificial Intelligence

http://www.sdsc.edu/~jeff/Godel_vs_AI.html

Extractions: I originally wrote this paper in 1981 for a course in writing research papers at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology . It was written on a DEC PDP-11/70 computer using the RUNOFF text formatting program, and having it on line from the beginning made it easy to save an electronic copy for future use. The instructor, Dr. Peter Parshall (of "Peter Parshall picked apart my perfect paper" fame), awarded the grade of A- to my work. In 1995, with the World Wide Web available as a means of publication, I retrieved the original document from my archives and converted it to the HTML format seen here. Other than format conversions and the deletion of the bibliography (which the Notes section renders superfluous), the paper is exactly as I wrote it then. (Well, I also fixed a couple of spelling errors and added a missing word. These modifications are identified in the HTML source.) I am both gratified and disappointed that the conclusions I drew then are still valid. Jeff Makey jeff@sdsc.edu 12 March 1995 Artificial Intelligence. The idea of men building a machine which is capable of thinking, originating ideas, and responding to external stimuli in the same manner as a man might is fascinating to some people frightening to others. Whether or not artificial intelligence (or AI) is possible has been the subject of debate for quite some time now. As early as 1842, a memoir by Lady Ada Lovelace read: "The Analytical Engine has no pretentions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform."

Extractions: James, In addition to Judith's quote, I think another one from Essays on Life Itself that speaks to your question is this: "Any question becomes unanswerable if we do not permit ourselves a universe large enough to deal with the question. Ax=B is generally unsolvable in a universe of positive integers. Likewise, generic angles become untrisectable, cubes unduplicatable, and so on, in a universe limited by rulers and compasses. I claim that Godelian noncomputability results are a symptom, arising within mathematics itself, indicating that we are trying to solve problems in too limited a universe of discourse. The limits in question are imposed in mathematics by an excess of "rigor," and in science by cognate limitations of "objectivity" and "context independence." In both cases, our universes are limited, not by the demands of problems that need to be solved but by extraneous standards of rigor. The result, in both cases, is a mind-set of reductionism, of looking only downward toward subsystems, and never upward and outward." [EL 2] The possible impact of this for science, and biology in particular, is a few paragraphs later:
