    Extractions: Google News about your search term In mathematical logic are two celebrated theorems proved by Kurt G¶del 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, G¶del's first incompleteness theorem says that any sufficiently strong formal system of mathematics is either inconsistent or incomplete. G¶del's second incompleteness theorem, which is proved by formalizing part of the proof of the first within the system itself, states:

    Extractions: Refutation of the first Gödel's incompleteness theorm romero@deducing.com Abstract: The so-called "First Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem" is a fallacy which is determined by three mistakes: By confusing the language-object with the metalanguage. By using a false premise in the formal Gödel's argument. By using groundless self-referent expressions. Introduction Refutation of the Gödel's informal argument Formal refutation of Gödel's derivation of the purported incompleteness theorem The confusion language-object with metalanguage from an invalid form of Gödelization The groundless self-reference § 6 The syncretism through "17 Gen r " Introduction On 1931 Kurt Gödel published his paper On formally undecidable propositions of Principia Mathematica and related systems, where a presumably negative answer to the essential problem of Mathematical Logic characterized by David Hilbert on 1928 –the Entscheidungsproblem – is presented, regarding the decidability of mathematical propositions. This negative answer to the Entscheidungsproblem –that is, the problem of deciding whether or not every mathematical statement is true– was speculated by Gödel upon the concept of undecidability, although at all without darkness, but by combining natural languaje with usual symbolic languaje and with recondite new symbolic expressions. As echo of Gödel's paper, the concept of incompleteness for symbolic logic systems was thoroughly diffused –on that time

We argue that there is no such formula. Introduction G del’s First Incompleteness Theorem Theorem VI of G del’s seminal 1931 paper , commonly referred to as “G del’s First Incompleteness Theorem”, essentially asserts: Meta-theorem 1 : Every omega-consistent formal system P of Arithmetic contains a proposition "[( A x R x p )]” such that both "[( A x R x p )]” and "[~( A x R x p )]” are not P -provable. In an earlier essay , we argue, however, that a constructive interpretation of G del’s reasoning establishes that any formal system of Arithmetic is omega-inconsistent. It follows from this that G del’s Theorem VI holds vacuously.

Is this statement true or false? a) If Epimenides' statement is true, then Epimenides also is a liar, i.e. he is lying permanently, hence, his statement about all Cretans is false (and there is a Cretan who is not a liar). We have come to a contradiction. b) If Epimenides' statement is false, then there is a Cretan, who is not a liar. Is Epimenides himself a liar? No contradiction here. Hence, there is no direct paradox here, only an amazing chain of conclusions: if a Cretan says that "All Cretans are liars", then there is a Cretan who is not a liar. Still, do not allow a single Cretan to slander all Cretans. Let us assume that Epimenides was speaking about himself only: "I am a liar". Is this true or false? a) If this is true, then Epimenides is lying permanently, and hence, his statement "I am a liar" also is false. I.e. Epimenides is not a liar (i.e. sometimes he does not lie). We have come to a contradiction.

Or, about the impossibility to cover "all the riches of the informal mathematics" by a stable set of axioms. I could agree with this, when the above-mentioned "superiority" would not be understood as the ability of the "informal thinking" to find out unmistakably (i.e. on the first trial) some "true" assertions that cannot be proved in a given axiomatic theory. Some of the enthusiasts of this opinion draw the following picture. Let us consider any formal theory T that contains a full-fledged concept of natural numbers (i.e. - in my terms - a fundamental theory). Let us build for T Goedel's formula G T asserting "I am not provable in T". Goedel proved that, indeed, G

Let us consider the sentence (2) This sentence is not provable in the system. p that could be viewed as expressing (2). Once such a sentence is obtained, some strong conclusions result. If the system is complete, then either the sentence p or its negation is a theorem of the system. If p is a theorem, then intuitively p or (2) is false, and there is in some sense a false theorem in the system. Similarly, if p is a theorem, then it says that (2) or that p is provable in the system. Since p is a theorem, it should be true, and there seem then to be two conflicting sentences that are both truenamely, p is provable in the system and p is provable in it. This can be the case only if the system is inconsistent. -consistent, then p is undecidable in it. The notion of -consistency is stronger than consistency, but it is a very reasonable requirement, since it demands merely that one cannot prove in a system both that some number does not have the property A and yet for each number that it does have the property A i.e.

    Extractions: Here is one of my favorite philosophical knickknacks. God is usually conceived as having the property of omnipotence, i.e. as being capable of doing anything. While philosophers have already shown there are numerous difficulties with such a notion, I would like to offer my own simple proof that omnipotence is impossible. I will show that there is something I am capable of doing that God cannot. Moreover, I am not referring to something trivial (I am capable of being identical to myself but God is not), but rather I will show that I can prove a statement that God cannot. Take the statement G: God is incapable of proving G. This is not the liar's paradox, for the proposition does not entail that it itself is false. Rather, it refers to God's ability to prove it. Obviously this is a variation on Godel's incompleteness theorem. It is either the case that God can prove G or God cannot. Assume God can prove G. God is capable only if G is true, since a false proposition cannot be proven. Thus if God can prove G then G is true.

(Publisher) Alonzo Church Introduction to Mathematical Logic One of the pioneers of mathematical logic in the twentieth century was Alonzo Church. He introduced such concepts as the lambda calculus, now an essential tool of computer science, and was the founder of the Journal of Symbolic Logic.

    Extractions: Principia Mathematica , which sought to provide a solid foundation to all mathematics. The ancient Greek geometer Euclid provided a foundation for the study of geometry with The Elements , but there were modern concerns by the great German mathematician, David Hilbert, and others that our language might not be entirely consistent for this purpose. An axiom is a mathematical statement or property considered to be self-evidently true, but yet cannot be proven. All attempts to form a mathematical system must begin from the ground up with a set of axioms. For example, Euclid wrote The Elements with a foundation of just five axioms. One of these is the axiom that exactly one (unique) line can be drawn through any two different points. This can't be proven, but no one doubts its veracity. Likewise, an axiom of our real number system is that addition is commutative; i. e., it doesn't matter in which order you add two numbers, you always get the same sum. Clearly, no one doubts this axiom either, but it cannot be proven for all real numbers. Hilbert and others expressed concern that an axiomatic basis for a mathematical system might contain subtle inconsistencies. In other words, one axiom might conflict with another in a way that the conflict could manifest itself in a theorem such that the theorem could be proven both true and false, a paradox. In a very famous address to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, 1900, Hilbert laid out twenty-three problems he considered to be of the highest priority. Number two on his list was "The compatibility of the arithmetical axioms." Here is an excerpt from his address on the topic:
