Monday, May 30, 2005 The Second Incompleteness Theorem for Weak Theories The other day, Arnon Avron asked on FOM whether the Second Incompleteness Theorem holds for Robinson's Q . I remembered wondering about that myself back when I was preparing for the foundations qual . The issue is this: the usual proof of the unprovability of Con( T ) requires that T is not just "sufficiently strong" in the usual sense, i.e., you can arithmetize syntax in T , but the provability predicate used to formalize Con( T ) must satisfy the Hilbert-Bernays-L¶b provability conditions: If T proves A , then T proves Pr( A T proves Pr( A B ) → (Pr( A ) → Pr( B T proves Pr(A) → Pr(Pr( A Now Q doesn't have induction, so it can prove only very few universal claims, in particular, it does not satisfy condition 3. (Does it satisfy condition 2?) So does Q prove Con( Q ), i.e., ¬Pr

9. Children of the Primes Incompleteness Theorem What a bummer for all those hopeful believers who believed that one day, somehow, either Math or their philosophy, or their religion would lead them out of the bondage of ignorance. No way, Jose... Still, she is beautiful. Do thy best old Math, despite thy wrong. A logical system (scientific, philosophical, religious, legal) Departs from: And then: Which leads to: an axiomatic platform wrought from the present insight of the observer. starts concluding and forms a body of deriviations nothing; must remain incomplete. Hence a consensus is not possible. Hence confusion abounds. Still, there's nothing wrong with being learned. Paul was learned. And so was Jesus. Solomon was a brilliant poet and philosopher, as well as an economical genius, way ahead of his time. And he wrote, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Prov 3:5)." A clear and present example of the fallacy of logic systems is of course the number sequence itself. From a few simple axioms an infinite sequence is wrought that will never be water tight and new primes must inveterately be added. The exact same pattern can be found in math and science. New ideas and new rules must continuously be added, and after these new rules have run their stretch, holes appear in the continuity of that which is known. Hence new rules must be added.

Symbolic Logic: Incompleteness Curtis Brown This is a quick overview of the high points of G del's incompleteness theorems. My presentation closely follows that in Ernest Nagel and James R. Newman, G del's Proof (New York: NYU Press, 1958; Revised Edition, ed. Douglas R. Hofstadter, 2001). We've discussed the fact that FOL is sound and complete. We've also discussed the fact that we can add axioms to FOL to capture logical relations between predicates (and functions) that are not themselves included in FOL, such as adding axioms for shape to the Tarski's World language. G del showed that if we do this for the arithmetic of the natural numbers, no set of axioms can possible be complete (in the sense that there will necessarily be true propositions about the natural numbers which are not consequences of the axioms). One set of axioms for the arithmetic of the natural numbers, a version of the Peano axioms, is given in our text (section 16.4). G del uses a slightly different version of the Peano axioms. His version involves two axioms, an axiom schema, and recursive definitions of + and * (addition and multiplication). The axioms and axiom schema are: x (s(x) = 0) x y ((s(x) = s(y)) x = y) x ( (x) (s(x)))) x (x) The first axiom says that is not the successor of any number; the second says that if the successor of x is the same as the successor of y, then x = y; and the third is a schema, an instance of which would substitute a particular predicate for the placeholder

Foreword by the Author 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."

71. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem - Wikibooks Gödel s incompleteness theorem It may be possible to prove the theorem fromoutside the system. A lot of nonsense has been written about this topic by http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Gödel's_Incompleteness_Theorem

G¶del's Incompleteness Theorem From Wikibooks Austrian mathematician Kurt G¶del showed that any mathematical system complicated enough to include arithmetic must be incomplete. What does this mean? Simply that there are theorems in the system that are true but cannot be proven true from within the system. It may be possible to prove the theorem from outside the system. A lot of nonsense has been written about this topic by nonmathematicians, including assertions that we can never know anything. Some mathematical systems ARE complete, including ordinary geometry and propositional logic. What Godel showed is that we can never have a complete knowledge of mathematics, and in the 1930's he shook the math world at its core when he proved this. Any Mathematical theory has axioms from which everything in the theory is derived. It is impossible to prove the axioms of a theory by using the theory, you have to go to a more fundamental theory to prove the axioms of the first theory. The problem is that you then have to go to an even more fundamental theroy to prove the axioms of the fundamental theory. The problem with that is you have to go to a more ...... ad infinitum. We can never prove the fundamental axioms and laws of mathematics on which everything is based and thus our knowledge will necessarily always be incomplete.

And, of course, it can be proved that two plus two is four (proved, that is, with the aid of the whole of math, as I said, though in the case of two plus two, of course we do not need the whole of math to prove that it is four). And, as may not be quite so clear, it can be proved that it can be proved that two plus two is four, as well. And it can be proved that it can be proved that it can be proved that two plus two is four. And so on. In fact, if a claim can be proved, then it can be proved that the claim can be proved. And that too can be proved.

G¶del's incompleteness theorem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In mathematical logic G¶del's incompleteness theorems are two celebrated theorems proven by Kurt G¶del in Contents First incompleteness theorem Second incompleteness theorem Gentzen's theorem Meaning of G¶del's theorems ... edit First incompleteness theorem G¶del's first incompleteness theorem is perhaps the most celebrated result in mathematical logic. It basically says that: For any formal theory in which basic arithmetical facts are provable, either the theory is inconsistent or it is possible to construct an arithmetical statement which is true but not provable or refutable in the theory. Here, "theory" means a set of statements closed under certain logical inference rules . A theory is "consistent" if it contains no contradictions The meaning of "it is possible to construct" is that there is a mechanical procedure which when given a description of the theory, e.g. in form of a computer program listing its axioms or a formula in the language of arithmetic defining the set of axioms of the theory, produces a sentence in the language of arithmetic which has the stated property. That this sentence is true if the theory is consistent simply means that what it says about natural numbers is true, in a mathematically defined sense, if no contradiction can be derived in the theory. Specifically, the sentence is equivalent to the claim that there does not exist a natural number coding a proof of contradiction in the theory, and its being true just means that there really is no such natural number. The sentence produced by the procedure is often referred to as "the" G¶del sentence for that theory.
