    to do this correctly.

    And to do what you want, you have to limit your logic system to not be

    Tarski to do what he does (like Godel does).


    We are answering the question:
    What are the relationships between arbitrary finite strings
    such that the semantic property of True(L, x)
    (where L and x are finite strings) can always be correctly
    determined for every finite string having a truth value that is
    entirely verified by its relation to other finite strings.


    And, if the logic system can support the properties of the Natural
    Number system, and a definition of the predicate True, it can be shown
    that you can create the equivalent of

    Let P be defined as Not( True(L, P))

    in that system, and thus P is a semantically valid, and thus the
    predicate must handle it.

    Of course, all you have shown is that you are too stupid to understand
    that work, and superstitiously beleive it must be false, not realizing
    you are just proving your stupidity.



    Therefore LP must be a term. But the
    argument of ~ must be a formula, not a term. Therefore the expression
    ~True(LP) & ~True(~LP) is not syntactiaclly valid and therefore does
    not mean anything.

    Just claiming something isn't proving it.

    Of course, you do the same with Godel, because you are just too stupid
    to understand the logic used, so you assume it must be wrong, when in actualality YOU are wrong.

    Your problem is you can only deal with very simple logic systems,
    systems too simple to meet the requirements because you brain is to
    small to understand real mathematics.

    You can't even handle the full properties of the Natural Numbers, but
    can only deal with a finite subset of them, which makes ALL of your
    logic fail when you need to apply it to those systems, since you just
    can't handle the infinite, which is where the issue are based.

    There are no problems than cannot be solved in a system
    that can also reject semantically incorrect expressions.

    The topic of the discussion is completeness. Is there a complete system
    that can solve all solvable problems?

    When the essence of the change is to simply reject expressions
    that specify semantic nonsense there is no reduction in the
    expressive power of such a system.

    The essence of the change is not sufficient to determine that.

    Disagreeing with this is the same as disagreeing that 3 > 2.

    A formal language of a theory of natural numbers needn't define "2" or
    "3". Those concepts can be expressed as "1+1" and "1+1+1" or as "SS0"
    and "SSS0" depending on which symbols the language has.

    It is not possible to stipulate separately for every pair of natural
    numbers whether the first one is grater than the second one. Instead,
    a theory of natural numbers may have postulates that permit the proofs
    of all true claims about the order of two natural numbers but no proof
    of a false claim.

    Sure I do.

    A Systems is semantically sound if every statement that can be proven is actually true by the systems semantics, in other words, the system
    doesn't allow the proving of a false statement.

    Note, "Semantics" deals with the meaning IN THE SYSTEM, and not just the meaning of the words being used. If formal logic, which has been the
    field you have been discussing in, even if you don't understand it or
    want it to be, defines semanticly true as any statement that can be

    thus a Formal System is always Semantically Sound as long as the given
    facts in the system are not contradictory, and it is based on consistant logical operators.

    No, it can't. Tarski requires that True be a predicate, i.e, a truth

    It is not required by any misconception. It is required by the

    That none of modern logic can handle expressions

    Why should any logic permit formulas that are not truth-bearers?
    (Of course, term expressions are not truth-bearers.)

    But his logic follows from the premises.

    Maybe your logic just can't handle that level of system.


    It is all ultimately anchored relations between finite
    strings even if we must toss all of logical out the window >>>>>>>>>>> to do this correctly.

    And to do what you want, you have to limit your logic system to not be
    able to define the full Natural Number system, as that is what allows
    Tarski to do what he does (like Godel does).


    We are answering the question:

    And, if the logic system can support the properties of the Natural >>>>>>>>>> Number system, and a definition of the predicate True, it can be shown
    that you can create the equivalent of

    Let P be defined as Not( True(L, P))

    in that system, and thus P is a semantically valid,

    Not at all. That is the same as saying you know
    that it is true that all squares are always round.


    Really, then where is the error in his derivation?
    n

    You clearly have no idea what "semantically sound" means.
    The only correct rebuttal to this is you proving that
    you do know this by providing the details of exactly what
    "semantically sound" means.


    Sure I do.

    A Systems is semantically sound if every statement that can be proven >>>>>> is actually true by the systems semantics,

    That is very good.

    in other words, the system doesn't allow the proving of a false statement.


    That is not too bad yet ignores that some expressions
    might not have any truth value.

    Which has nothing to do with "soundness".


    When any system assumes that every expression is true
    or false and is capable of encoding expressions that
    are neither IT IS STUPIDLY WRONG.


    But it doesn't.


    LP := ~True(LP) is semantically invalid.

    It usually is syntactically invalid, too.

    That would be OK if he wouldn't try to solve problems that cannot even

    There are no problems than cannot be solved in a system
    that can also reject semantically incorrect expressions.

    The topic of the discussion is completeness. Is there a complete system
    that can solve all solvable problems?

    When the essence of the change is to simply reject expressions >>>>>>>>> that specify semantic nonsense there is no reduction in the
    expressive power of such a system.

    The essence of the change is not sufficient to determine that.

    In the same way that 3 > 2 is stipulated the essence of the
    change is that semantically incorrect expressions are rejected.
    Disagreeing with this is the same as disagreeing that 3 > 2.

    That 3 > 2 need not be (and therefore usually isn't) stripualted.

    The defintion of the set of natural numbers stipulates this.

    If NOTHING ever stipulates that 3 > 2 then NO ONE can
    possibly know that 3 > 2 leaving the finite string
    "3 > 2" merely random gibberish.

    A formal language of a theory of natural numbers needn't define "2" or
    "3". Those concepts can be expressed as "1+1" and "1+1+1" or as "SS0"
    and "SSS0" depending on which symbols the language has.

    If nothing anywhere specifies that "3>2" then no one
    ever has any way of knowing that 3>2.

    Of course there is. From definitions and psotulates one can prove
    that 3 > 2, at least in some formulations. Or that 1+1+1 > 1+1 if
    the language does not contaion "3" and "2".

    No, only in your faulty logic.

    Incomplete means that there are some truths that can't be proven in the
    system.

    There is no requirement in the definition of truth that says it needs to
    be knowable, except in your broken systems that don't know better4.

    LP := ~True(LP) is an example

    You clearly have no idea what "semantically sound" means.
    The only correct rebuttal to this is you proving that
    you do know this by providing the details of exactly what
    "semantically sound" means.


    Sure I do.

    A Systems is semantically sound if every statement that can be
    proven is actually true by the systems semantics,

    That is very good.

    in other words, the system doesn't allow the proving of a false
    statement.


    That is not too bad yet ignores that some expressions
    might not have any truth value.

    Which has nothing to do with "soundness".


    When any system assumes that every expression is true
    or false and is capable of encoding expressions that
    are neither IT IS STUPIDLY WRONG.


    But it doesn't.


    LP := ~True(LP) is semantically invalid.

    Then the predicate "True" is semantically invalid, and thus isn't a
    predicate.

    Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

    Note, Tarski PROVES that LP := ~True(LP) is a legal statement on the
    condition the True is the required primative, and other requirements
    that are basically that the system supports the properties of the Natual Numbers.

    Of course, your problem seems to be that you don't understand systems
    that advanced, since Prolog can't handle them.


    All you /are doing is showing that you are too stupid to understand
    whaty you are reading, and then just stupidly assume that the author
    is wrong.

    Have you even LOOKED at the previous work he references back to?

    Can you find an actual error of logic in his work?

    Likely not, since you don't understand things beyond about the 3rd
    grade level because you are too stupid, and so stupid you can't see
    your stupidity.

    No, only in your faulty logic.

    Incomplete means that there are some truths that can't be proven in
    the system.


    That comes from stupidly failing to require {true in the system}
    to require {proven in the system}. Fix this one stupid mistake
    and all of incompleteness goes away.


    No, it is stupid to require that true in the system means proven.

    Such a system can be proven to have a very limited domain of applicability.

    Of course, since your logical understanding is infantile, you don't
    understand that.

    You are just showing your stupidity, and that you desire that everyone
    be as stupid as you so you can think of yourself as being smart.

    But it doesn't.


    LP := ~True(LP) is semantically invalid.

    Then the predicate "True" is semantically invalid, and thus isn't a
    predicate.


    How would you propose that a correct True() predicate deal
    with random gibberish as input?

    By its definition it return false.


    That is correct. Tarski did nt seem ti see it that way.

    But, the problem is he showed that the input wasn't "gibberish", and
    thus your condition isn't satisfied.

    And the false answer doesn't work, as that mean that LP is a true
    expression, being the negation of that value, and thus your Truth
    Predicate just said that a true statement was false.

    That is a contradiction, breaking your logic system, something your timy
    mind can't seem to comprehend.


    But that can't be the return value for LP defines as ~True(LP) as then
    True(LP) would be false, and thus LP := ~false, or true.


    True(LP) recognizes the same infinite cycle that Prolog
    sees and rejects its input as not true on this basis.



    But it isn't allowed to in that way.

    Prolog just defines that things that need an infinite sequence to show
    are outside its ability,.

    The Truth Predicate isn't allowed to do that, as some truths are
    established by infinite sequences,'

    You are just showing your stupidity and ignorance of the topic.

    It does not matter a whit what the Hell his misconceptions
    required.

    It is not required by any misconception. It is required by the
    meanings of the words and symbols, in particular "predicare"
    and "~".

    That none of modern logic can handle expressions
    that are not truth bearers is their error and
    short-coming.

    Why should any logic permit formulas that are not truth-bearers?
    (Of course, term expressions are not truth-bearers.)


    Undecidable expressions are only undecidable because they
    are not truth bearers. Logic ignores this and faults the
    system and not the expression


    Nope. And "expressions" are not "undecidable", but "Problems" are.


    A specific problem instance is a single finite string expression input
    to a specific decider.

    And there is not an issue with getting the answer to that particular
    problem. Note, it isn't the decider that defines the value of the
    expression, it is the problem statement that the instance is from.

    For instance, for a Halt Decider, the question is does the program the
    input represent Halt when it is run, and that ALWAYS has an answer, so
    that instance is "decidable". We may not know the answer, but it has
    one, and since non-halting can't always be finitely determinable, we
    find we can't compute the answer.

    For instance, the halting of DD is NOT "undecidable", as HHH1 was able
    to simulate it to the end, showing it halts. The HHH you have provided
    just has a "bug" in it that misunderstands the nature of HHH.

    You are just showing that you fundamentally are ignorant of important
    aspects of the field, and too stupid to see that error.


    You seem to have a fundamental problem with the meaning of the words,
    likely because you can't handle the needed abstractions.

    Of course, since you don't understand what a "program" is, you never
    were on a good track.

    If an expression of language has no truth maker then
    it is impossibly true. That you have no idea what a

    That you make those lies just shows that you are just a pathological liar.

    You assume people who say thihgs you don't understand makes them liars,
    when in truth, they show that you are atupid.

    I never said that something without a truth maker could be true.

    The problem is that the statement True(LP) is false *IS* the truth maker
    that makes LP true (or needs to be based on the truthmakes that make LP
    true).

    And for Godel, the truth makers are the infinite set of evaluations of
    the relationship for every possible Natural Number. G doesn't lack a
    truth maker, it just has an infinite chain of them, so it can't be
    proven finitely (which is what proofs need to be).

    Your understanding of logic is incomplete.


    The screwed up notion of "incomplete" is anchored in the
    stupid idea that {true in the system} is not required to be

    Any expression of language that can only be verified as true

    When math creates the idiomatic meaning of "provable" that
    diverges from its common meaning math diverges from what
    actual true really is.



    No, what is "screwed up" is the idea that something can't be true until
    we know it, which is a consequence of your attempted definition, as has
    can we know if something is provable unless we have the proof, at which
    point we have the knowledge.

    Maths definition does not diverge from the "common" meaning, as we can
    show something that needs an infinite number of steps.

    Your problem is you just don't have an understanding of what that means, because the only logic you seem to understand is inherently finite, and
    thus doesn't get to that level.

    Simple question for you to think on.

    If you have a statement about a property of a computation done on EVERY
    natural number, and it turns out that it will actually work for every
    natural number, but we have no method to actually PROVE that fact with a
    finite proof, is that statement true or not?

    We can not prove it, as we haven't found a method to generalize the
    computation to show it works for every number, no inductive proof, or
    anything like that.

    So, does the lack of a proof, and even the fact that it can not be
    prove, make the statement non-true? (It can't be false, since that would require proving its opposite, but since the initial premise was that it
    works for every number, there is not instance that shows it to be false).

    If we just thought it couldn't be proven, but someone finally figures
    out some method to prove it, does that mean its truth value CHANGED?

    Do you see that you concept makes "Truth" a relative concept, not an
    absolute one?

    Your problem is you just can't imagine the ability for something to be
    true but unknown, or even unknowable. That is YOUR problem, not a
    problem with logic.

    All you are doing is proving that you just don't understand what truth
    actually is,

    When any system assumes that every expression is true or false

    In honour of Gödel this is usually called "incomplete".
    Where "incomplete" has always been an idiom for stupid wrong.
    Your understanding of logic is incomplete.


    The screwed up notion of "incomplete" is anchored in the
    stupid idea that {true in the system} is not required to be
    {provable in the system}.

    Any expression of language that can only be verified as true
    on the basis of other expressions of language either has a
    semantic connection truthmaker to these other expressions or
    IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

    When math creates the idiomatic meaning of "provable" that
    diverges from its common meaning math diverges from what
    actual true really is.



    No, what is "screwed up" is the idea that something can't be true
    until we know it,

    I didn't actually say anything like that.
    Every truth must have a truth-maker.



    Right, but having a truth maker doesn't mean provable, except in your
    broken logic,

    But you are just too stupid to understand that, as you only seem to be
    able to understand grade school logic system, and not real ones that can
    do real work.

    primative is requires that True(Nonsense) be false, not "nonsense".


      True("lkekngnkerkn") == false
    False("lkekngnkerkn") == false


    But ~True("lkekngnkerkn") == true.


    Yes

    so if we can define that lkekngnkerkn is ~True(lkekngnkerkn) then we
    have a problem.
    f

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    And this is what Tarski proves can be done if the system can represent
    the properties of the Natural Numbers, and has a True predicate.

    "False" as a predicate was never mentioned, and is just your strawman
    you use to divert attention from the problem with your logic.


    False is defined as the negation of the expression is true.
    This is how Wittgenstein and I  have always defined this.
    Wittgenstein understood these things.

    Note, True isn't a "value" it is the predicate.


    X = "lkekngnkerkn"
    There is no truth-maker for X or for ~X proving
    that X is not a truth-bearer.

    But there is a truth-maker for LP defined as ~True(LP), that truth maker
    is the Truth predicate itself.


    You are just tooo stupid to understand that you are just a
    pathological liar.

    Your lack of knowledge of the philosophical foundations
    of truth is not even your own stupidity it is your ignorance.

    Your lack of understanding of formal logic shows your stupidity.

    Tarski is NOT talking in some abstract phiosophical theory, but working
    inside a precise Formal Thoery where things are solidly defined.


    Truth itself works a certain way. Logic tries to get
    away with overriding the way that truth really works.



    It eeems you don't really know what "truth" is, since you blow it up so
    often with your lies.

    Note the predicate "True" isn't just a statement asking if its parameter
    is true or not, it is a formal logic predicate, that is DEFINED to
    always have a truth value. Your failure to understand that just shows
    your utter stupidity.

    Note, your "idol" Wittgenstein was a hold out who tried to deny that
    some of the foundation that were imagined just were not true. Your
    emulation of him, just says you have failed to learn from the last
    century of developments.

    So, it seems you have decided to stay on the Titanic, and keep on asking
    "What Iceberg?" as the ship is sinking.

    Sorry, you are just proving your stupidity.

    No, only in your faulty logic.

    Incomplete means that there are some truths that can't be proven in the system.


    That comes from stupidly failing to require {true in the system}
    to require {proven in the system}. Fix this one stupid mistake
    and all of incompleteness goes away.

    No, that merely means that "true in the system" is incomplete in some
    systems (e.g., natural numbers). There are sentences that are true in
    practical applications of the system but not in the system itself.
    That is not a defect as it does not prevent useful practical aplications.

    It can be easily handled as ~True(LP) & ~True(~LP), Tarski just

    No, it can't. Tarski requires that True be a predicate, i.e, a truth >>>>>> valued function of one term.

    It does not matter a whit what the Hell his misconceptions

    It is not required by any misconception. It is required by the
    meanings of the words and symbols, in particular "predicare"
    and "~".

    That none of modern logic can handle expressions
    that are not truth bearers is their error and
    short-coming.

    Why should any logic permit formulas that are not truth-bearers?
    (Of course, term expressions are not truth-bearers.)

    Undecidable expressions are only undecidable because they
    are not truth bearers. Logic ignores this and faults the
    system and not the expression

    An undecidable expression is a thruth bearer. It may be false in some applications and true in another but it alsways has some truth value.
    Often its truth value is irrelevant to practical application. For
    example, the arithmetic of natural number is useful for many purposes
    although some formulas about natural numbers are undecidable and
    there is no method to determine which ones.

    are not truth bearers. Logic ignores this and faults the
    system and not the expression


    Nope. And "expressions" are not "undecidable", but "Problems" are.


    A specific problem instance is a single finite string expression input
    to a specific decider.

    No, it is not. The decider is no way a part of a specific problem
    instance unless it is a part of that finite string expression.

    That a specific problem instance is a single finite string expression
    is true about formal problems but usually not about practical problems.

    WTF is the truth value of the negation of nonsense?
    The Liar Paradox has ALWAYS simply been nonsense.


    But we aren't negating "nonsense", we are negating the actual
    valid truth value out of the Truth Primative.

    You don't seem to understand that the DEFINITION of what a truth
    primative is requires that True(Nonsense) be false, not "nonsense". >>>>>>

      True("lkekngnkerkn") == false
    False("lkekngnkerkn") == false


    But ~True("lkekngnkerkn") == true.


    Yes

    so if we can define that lkekngnkerkn is ~True(lkekngnkerkn) then we
    have a problem.
    f

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.


    It has an infinite cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite cycles are not prohibited in logic systems that support the properties of the Natural Numbers. The MUST allow them or you can't HAVE
    the Natural Numbers.


    See Page 3 for Prolog
    https://www.researchgate.net/ publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence


    Just shows your stupidity, thinking that all logic is just primitive,
    and not understanding what the Godel sentence actually is. Your mind
    seems to have blocked out the actual sentence presented earlier because
    you know you don't understand it, so you think it must be gibberisn, but
    it is you mind that is gibberish.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified interpretation of it. The problem is that the actual Godel sentence
    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    Of course, since your mind can't handle them either, you can't
    understand that.

    When any system assumes that every expression is true or false
    and is
    capable of encoding expressions that are neither IT IS STUPIDLY
    WRONG.

    In honour of Gödel this is usually called "incomplete".

    Where "incomplete" has always been an idiom for stupid wrong.


    No, only in your faulty logic.

    Incomplete means that there are some truths that can't be proven in
    the system.


    That comes from stupidly failing to require {true in the system}
    to require {proven in the system}. Fix this one stupid mistake
    and all of incompleteness goes away.

    No, that merely means that "true in the system" is incomplete in some
    systems (e.g., natural numbers). There are sentences that are true in
    practical applications of the system but not in the system itself.
    That is not a defect as it does not prevent useful practical aplications.


    The bottom line here is that expressions that do not have
    a truth-maker are always untrue. Logic screws this up by
    overriding the common meaning of terms with incompatible
    meanings. Provable(common) means has a truth-maker.




    But the problem is you try to make statements that have been shown to
    have a truth-make untrue, because you don't understand the conneciton to
    the truth-maker.

    You have even admktted that you think logic is just broken, but you
    continue to try to use it, showing you are just a stupid hypocrite.

    Yes Provable(common means it has a truth-maker, but only in a sufficient manner, not a necessary manner.

    Things can have a truth-maker but not be provable, since provable
    implies knowable, and thus must be based on a finite chain of proof.

    Things exist that need an infinite chain to show, which is not a proof
    but does make that thing true,

    Your problem is you don't understand the infinite, and thus can't
    understand that sort of truth.

    Thus, you just stupidly lie about things that you are ignorant of,
    because you can't actually understand the meaning of the word truth.

    And you are the one that thinks they are "God" who is by nature an
    infinite being, and thus the one that best understand that which you
    have no understanding of.

    Sorry, you are just proving that you are nothing but a pathetic
    pathological lying idiot with no understanding of the actual meaning of
    what he says, but only the glimpses of them when someone distills them
    done to infintile levels, which, by necessity, misses out on the fine
    details and distinctions, that you are just unaware of.

    I pity you, as you are just showing how low a man can get in his ability
    to thinks.

    Nope. And "expressions" are not "undecidable", but "Problems" are.


    A specific problem instance is a single finite string expression input
    to a specific decider.

    No, it is not. The decider is no way a part of a specific problem
    instance unless it is a part of that finite string expression.

    Is the term decider/input pair over your head?

    No, only an idiot could think so.

    A unique finite string of integers combined
    with a specific decider is a SPECIFIC PROBLEM INSTANCE.

    No, it is not. It is a computation.

    A decider is itself a unique finite string of integer
    values for any 100% specific system of Turing Machine
    descriptions.

    No, it is not. A decider is a Turing (or similar) machine that for
    every valid input either accepts or rejects. It can be encoded as
    a unique finite string of integer values but usually other ways of
    presentation are better.

    That a specific problem instance is a single finite string expression
    is true about formal problems but usually not about practical problems.

    No, it does not. Something like a syllogism is an inference rule, where

    If NOTHING ever stipulates that 3 > 2 then NO ONE can
    possibly know that 3 > 2 leaving the finite string
    "3 > 2" merely random gibberish.

    A formal language of a theory of natural numbers needn't define "2" or >>>>>> "3". Those concepts can be expressed as "1+1" and "1+1+1" or as "SS0" >>>>>> and "SSS0" depending on which symbols the language has.

    If nothing anywhere specifies that "3>2" then no one
    ever has any way of knowing that 3>2.

    Of course there is. From definitions and psotulates one can prove
    that 3 > 2, at least in some formulations. Or that 1+1+1 > 1+1 if
    the language does not contaion "3" and "2".

    In other words you don't know what "nothing anywhere" means.

    Irrelevant. Whether anything anywhere specifies or not that 3 > 2 that
    can be determined from the meanings of "3", ">" adn "2". The knowledge
    of those meanings need not come from the same source.

    If those meanings do not exist in any way shape or
    form then "3 > 2" remains meaningless gibberish.

    At least meaningless. It may still be syntactically valid, in which case
    a particular application may provide meanings.

    It does, actually. Makes sense even. A true sentence is true.

    WTF is the truth value of the negation of nonsense?
    The Liar Paradox has ALWAYS simply been nonsense.


    But we aren't negating "nonsense", we are negating the actual
    valid truth value out of the Truth Primative.

    You don't seem to understand that the DEFINITION of what a truth >>>>>>>> primative is requires that True(Nonsense) be false, not "nonsense". >>>>>>>>

      True("lkekngnkerkn") == false
    False("lkekngnkerkn") == false


    But ~True("lkekngnkerkn") == true.


    Yes

    so if we can define that lkekngnkerkn is ~True(lkekngnkerkn) then
    we have a problem.
    f

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.


    It has an infinite cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite cycles are not prohibited in logic systems that support
    the properties of the Natural Numbers. The MUST allow them or you
    can't HAVE the Natural Numbers.

    https://www.researchgate.net/
    publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence


    Just shows your stupidity, thinking that all logic is just primitive,
    and not understanding what the Godel sentence actually is. Your mind
    seems to have blocked out the actual sentence presented earlier
    because you know you don't understand it, so you think it must be
    gibberisn, but it is you mind that is gibberish.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified
    interpretation of it. The problem is that the actual Godel sentence
    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    Of course, since your mind can't handle them either, you can't
    understand that.

    Carefully study the Clocksin and Mellish on page 3 knucklehead.
    Read and reread the yellow highlighted text until you totally get it.

    Logic remains clueless about the philosophical
    notion of truth makers and truth bearers and this is
    why logic gets these things incorrectly.


    No, you remain clueless about the notion of Logic and its rules.


    Only because logic defines "True" in a way that goes against the
    way that True really works is it impossible to define a truth
    predicate in logic.

    No, it doesn't


    The biggest mistake that logic makes is failing to understand
    that an expression can only be true when it has a truth bearer.

    No it doesn't, it just allows the truth bearer to be an infinite
    number of steps away from the statement.


    When we don't make a screwy term-of-the-art meaning
    of provable(math) that diverges from provable(common)
    {whatever the Hell makes X true} then incompleteness(math)
    ceases to exist.


    Then let's make a new term you're comfortable with.


    What I just said says it all. Anything else is a dishonest
    dodge away from the point.

    Provable(common) has always made incomplete(math) impossible.


    But it doesn't, as Provable(common) means that its truth can be SHOWN,
    and SHOWING is by definition a FINITE sequence (as we are finite beings).

    Truth, on the other hand, can be established by an INFINITE sequence of
    steps, which would not constitute a proof.

    That you keep repeating your error, without showing the error in the refutation, just indicates that you are just a blantant liar with a
    reckles disregard for the truth.

    That you are so stupid that you can't even understand that you are
    stupid, and thus your words need to be considered as meaningless.

    Note, this is not an "ad hominem" attack, as that is would be saying the primary reason to consider you wrong is an attribute of you person (the hominem) but I am pointing out the actual definitional reason you are
    wrong, and then pointing out that the fact you keep on saying it, shows
    you are stupid,

    To label that as ad hominem just adds to the proof that you just don't understand what you are talking about, showing that you really are that
    stupid,

    The bottom line here is that expressions that do not have
    a truth-maker are always untrue. Logic screws this up by
    overriding the common meaning of terms with incompatible
    meanings. Provable(common) means has a truth-maker.

    Logic doesn't care about truths and truth makers except in the (usually >>>> uninteresting) special cases where truth makers are found in the logic >>>> itself.


    Incompleteness(math) and Undecidability(logic) are

    Nopw, because shown(common) requires a finite sequence to show to
    someone, as people can not see all of an infinite sequence


    If the Goldbach conjecture is true and there is only
    an infinite sequence as its truth-maker then this
    infinite sequence <is> its proof(common)
    {shown to be definitely true by whatever means}.


    No, an infinite sequence is not a "proof" as you can not SHOW an
    infinite sequence.

    All you are doing is showing that you don't know what the definition of
    PROOF is.

    Do you have an actual reference for your definition, I suspect not, and
    you are just proving that you are nothing but a pathological liar, where
    the "shown" actually allows something inexpressible.

    Because, until you can actually express in writing or symbology, that
    infinite sequence, that shows that every step is true, you haven't SHOWN
    it to be true,

    Testing and showing the results of an infinite set of trials, can not be
    SHOWN in a way that a person can understand.

    Note, sometimes, the infinite series can be reduced by a induction or
    related process, then the proof is finite, but if there is no reduction
    to the finite, the infinite number of step just isn't a proof,

    You are just showing your ignorance of the meaning of the words.

      True("lkekngnkerkn") == false

    But ~True("lkekngnkerkn") == true.


    Yes

    so if we can define that lkekngnkerkn is ~True(lkekngnkerkn)
    then we have a problem.
    f

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.


    It has an infinite cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite cycles are not prohibited in logic systems that support
    the properties of the Natural Numbers. The MUST allow them or you

    Just shows your stupidity, thinking that all logic is just

    is. Your mind seems to have blocked out the actual sentence
    presented earlier because you know you don't understand it, so you
    think it must be gibberisn, but it is you mind that is gibberish.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified
    interpretation of it. The problem is that the actual Godel sentence
    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    Of course, since your mind can't handle them either, you can't

    Provable(common)

    That doesn't change the fact that Robinson arithmetic contains the

    an infinite connection to the axioms

    If RA is f-cked up then toss it out on its ass.
    We damn well know that no natural number is equal to its
    successor as a matter of stipulation.

    We know it in RA though *only* an infinite connection to its axioms.
    Yet the system still exists, and the axioms of the system make that
    statement true, but *only* though an infinite connection to its axioms.


    I have eliminated the necessity of systems that contain true
    statements that have *only* an infinite connection to their
    truthmakers. All
    formal systems that can represent arithmetic do not
    contain true statements that have *only* an infinite connection to
    their truthmakers unless you stupidly define them in a way that
    makes them contain true statements that have *only* an infinite
    connection to their truthmakers.

    As it turns out, any system capable of expressing all of the
    properties of natural numbers contain at least one true statement that
    has *only* an infinite connection to its truthmakers.

    Note also that I took the liberty of replacing "incomplete" in your
    above statement with the accepted definition to make it more clear to
    all what's being discussed.

    So if you only allow systems where all true statements have a finite
    connection to their truthmakers, then you don't have natural numbers.

    So choose: do you want to have natural numbers, or do you only want
    systems where all true statements have a finite connection to their
    truthmaker?

    Tarski's True(X) is implemented by determining a finite connection
    to a truth-maker for every element of the set of human knowledge
    and an infinite connection to a truth-maker for all unknowable truths.



    Right, and thus is itself a proxy truth-maker for what it answer.

    Thus given P := ~True(P)

    If True determines that P has no connection to a truth maker, and thus
    returns false, then P will be true, and thus shows that True has made an
    error, as the expression P HAS a connection, a finite one in fact, to
    its proxy truth-maker of True.

    This is not allowed.

    If True determines that P has that connection shown above, then P will
    be false, and thus we find that True has declared a false statement to
    have a truth maker.

    This is not allowed either.

    Thus, True can not exist.

    The problem is that P defined as ~True(P) is an expression that can be
    created to exist in the Theory, based on the Meta-Theory created, as
    long as the Theory can express the properties of the Natural Numbers,
    and has a True Predicate.

    Thus, The expression can't just be "rejected" because it was a valid
    statement.

    The answer is that such a True Predicate can't exist.

    We know it in RA though *only* an infinite connection to its axioms.
    Yet the system still exists, and the axioms of the system make that

    I have eliminated the necessity of systems that contain true
    statements that have *only* an infinite connection to their
    truthmakers. All
    formal systems that can represent arithmetic do not
    contain true statements that have *only* an infinite connection to
    their truthmakers unless you stupidly define them in a way that
    makes them contain true statements that have *only* an infinite
    connection to their truthmakers.

    As it turns out, any system capable of expressing all of the
    properties of natural numbers contain at least one true statement
    that has *only* an infinite connection to its truthmakers.

    Note also that I took the liberty of replacing "incomplete" in your
    above statement with the accepted definition to make it more clear
    to all what's being discussed.

    So if you only allow systems where all true statements have a finite
    connection to their truthmakers, then you don't have natural numbers.

    So choose: do you want to have natural numbers, or do you only want
    systems where all true statements have a finite connection to their
    truthmaker?

    Tarski's True(X) is implemented by determining a finite connection
    to a truth-maker for every element of the set of human knowledge
    and an infinite connection to a truth-maker for all unknowable truths.



    Right, and thus is itself a proxy truth-maker for what it answer.

    Thus given P := ~True(P)

    If True determines that P has no connection to a truth maker, and thus
    returns false, then P will be true,

    True(LP) determines that P is an infinite sequence,
    aborts its evaluation of this infinite sequence
    and returns false meaning not true stopping all
    evaluation thus not feeding false back into the
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite sequences can be true.


    The self-contradictory part of LP is unreachable
    in the same way as shown below.

    Then True didn't do its job.


    int DD()
    {
      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
      if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
      return Halt_Status;
    }

    The self-contradictory part of DD emulated by HHH
    is unreachable code.



    There is not "self-contradictory" part of DD, as DD does nothing to be contradicted. DD is HHH-contradictory, and HHH needs to try to figure
    out how to handle this. HHH can see something that is contradictory to
    it, and is thus in trouble.

    Your problem is you got confused on the identities of the items. DD and
    HHH are two completely different programs, and defined in a way that HHH
    must be defined first, as DD has a dependency on HHH, and HHH is the one
    making the universal claim.

    Since DD is created after HHH, it has the ability to contradict HHH if
    it is smart enough, and since Turing Complete systems allow the embedded
    of a copy of any program within another, DD can easily "borrow" the
    "smarts" of HHH to become counter to it, and HHH is just stuck.

    Remember, by the time you have DD, you have a SINGLE FIXED HHH that
    exists, and any talk of some other HHH is pure hypothetical, and doesn't
    affect DD or what it does, or what the HHH that it is using does.

    Since DD is only defined to contradict one particular HHH, the fact that
    some other variant (which really needs a different name) can get it
    right doesn't matter, the original HHH, that DD was built on, gets it wrong.

    But infinite sequences can be true.


    Proving the Goldbach has a finite proof for each element
    of the infinite set of natural numbers thus makes progress
    towards its goal.

    The evaluation of the Liar Paradox gets stuck in an infinite
    loop and never makes any progress towards resolution.

    Clocksin and Mellish understood this. You are so sure that
    I must be wrong that you did not bother to see that they
    understood this.


    I did read it, and clearly they don't understand what Godel's G is, as
    it does not have infinite recursion in it.

    Godel's G is a statment about a primative recursive relationship not
    being satisfied by any natural number.

    For each number, due to the nature of a primitive recursive
    relationship, as strictly bounded recursion at each step of its
    operation, and thus each number can be checked in a finite and bounded time.

    The problem with trying to make a proof, is it turns out that the only
    way to check it in F is to evaluate this for EVERY Natural Number, which
    is an unbounded (and not recursive) set.

    Thus, any claim that the statment G isn't true due to it having infinite recursion is just a LIE, pehaps because they did the same error as you
    did and instead of looking at G, look at the statment of "effective
    meaning" in the meta system.

    That none of modern logic can handle expressions

    Why should any logic permit formulas that are not truth-bearers?
    (Of course, term expressions are not truth-bearers.)

    Undecidable expressions are only undecidable because they
    are not truth bearers. Logic ignores this and faults the

    An undecidable expression is a thruth bearer.

    Truth bearer means unequivocally divided into exactly
    one of true or false.

    In a particular application. Even then the truth value, althogh known
    to exist, may be unknown.

    When an expression X has a cycle in the directed graph
    of its evaluation sequence then X is not a truth bearer.

    A directed graph of an evaluation sequence is not a part of X. Whether
    X is true may be known from other considerations.

    LP := ~True(LP) expands to ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...)))))))

    It can but needn't be expanded that way.

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified

    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    Of course, since your mind can't handle them either, you can't understand that.

    Carefully study the Clocksin and Mellish on page 3 knucklehead.
    Read and reread the yellow highlighted text until you totally get it.


    Right, Neither G nor ~G are provable in F.


    Provable(common)
    {shown to be definitely true by whatever means}
    is the only relevant notion of provable.

    The Common Language term for that is not "provable" but "proven".

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.


    It has an infinite cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite cycles are not prohibited in logic systems that support
    the properties of the Natural Numbers. The MUST allow them or you can't
    HAVE the Natural Numbers.

    publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence



    Just shows your stupidity, thinking that all logic is just primitive,
    and not understanding what the Godel sentence actually is. Your mind
    seems to have blocked out the actual sentence presented earlier because
    you know you don't understand it, so you think it must be gibberisn,
    but it is you mind that is gibberish.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified
    interpretation of it. The problem is that the actual Godel sentence
    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    There is a (long) sentence of first order logic that can be used as a Gödel >> sentence in a first order proof that the first oder Peano arithmetic is
    incomplete. Prolog can handle that sentence (e.g., as a list of characters) >> if the implementation has sufficiently memory.

    When unprovable always mean untrue then incompleteness
    cannot possibly exist.

    True as "unprovable" never always means 'untrue'. What is true is not
    untrue even when unprovable.

    Nevertheless, the connection to incompleteness is not there.
    Incompleteness exists because it is possible to construct an incomplete
    theory.

    If you make all unprovable sentences false, their negations become
    true,
    but those are still unprovable.

    No, that merely means that "true in the system" is incomplete in some >>>>>> systems (e.g., natural numbers). There are sentences that are true in >>>>>> practical applications of the system but not in the system itself. >>>>>> That is not a defect as it does not prevent useful practical

    The bottom line here is that expressions that do not have a truth-
    maker
    are always untrue. Logic screws this up by overriding the common
    meaning
    of terms with incompatible meanings. Provable(common) means has a
    truth-maker.
    Intuition isn't logic.

    Some of logic is merely incorrect ideas about correct reasoning.

    No, logic is what people have found correct reasoning. Of course,
    if you can show some tautology is not ture you may have some basis
    to call some idea incorrect. But so far you havn't.



    A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if it
    takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to
    be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false. https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    WRONG
    A deductive argument is only valid when the conclusion is a
    necessary consequence of all of its premises.




    And "necessary consequence" means it can never be false when the
    premises are True.

    If you want to requring Natual Language definitiona following, you are
    not using Formal Logic, as Formal Logic fully defines its set of Truth
    Maker as its axioms.

    {shown to be definitely true by whatever means}.

    Right, so you accept that there exist TRUE statements that might not be provable, and thus Incompleteness exists.

    Exactly.

    Right, so you accept that there exist TRUE statements that might
    not be provable, and thus Incompleteness exists.
    ANd thus, everything you have claimed about it not is just a lie.
    Calling unknowable truths the source of incompleteness seems to
    expect humans to be all knowing.
    We expect logic to know all.

    Not at all.  Would you feel better if, instead of calling such
    systems "incomplete", we called them something like "finite-proof
    incomplete"?
    Unknowable things don't make anything incomplete unless one requires
    omniscience.
    Yes, we require that.

    If you want a "common" compatible definition, we could say the set of
    sequences of finite steps between all truths and the axioms of the
    system is incomplete.
    That we may never know whether or not the Goldbach conjecture is true
    merely means that we are not omniscient. It does not mean that we are incomplete.
    That... is exactly what it means - true, but unprovable.

    Logic doesn't care about truths and truth makers except in the (usually >>>> uninteresting) special cases where truth makers are found in the logic >>>> itself.

    Incompleteness(math) and Undecidability(logic) are
    artifacts of defining the term provable(math)
    in a way that is inconsistent with provable(common)
    {shown to be definitely true by whatever means}.

    No such inconsistency is shown.

    If True(X) means has a truth-maker and Provable(X)
    means shown to have a truth-maker then the only
    difference between Provable(X) and True(X) are unknown
    truths. Some of these may be unknowable truths requiring
    an infinite set of finite proofs.

    That does not show such (or any) contradiction.

    This definition is usually accepted because arguments that are valid in

    WRONG
    A deductive argument is only valid when the conclusion is a

    Do you want to exclude sound arguments or permit unsound ones?

    And "necessary consequence" means it can never be false when the

    It means more than that.
    It also means (A & ~A) ⊢ NULL

    No sensible logic can infer what is not a formula and NULL is not one.

    If you want to requring Natual Language definitiona following, you are
    not using Formal Logic, as

    Formal Logic fully defines its set of Truth Maker as its axioms.

    That aspect of logic is correct.

    We are not defining gibberish as anything.
    Gibberish evaluates as ~True because it is gibberish.

    But you are trying to define LP := !True(LP) as gibberish.


    Prolog already knows that it <is> gibberish.

    Because, like you, Prolog can't handle the needed logic.


    It has an infinite cycle in the directed graph of its
    evaluation sequence.

    But infinite cycles are not prohibited in logic systems that support
    the properties of the Natural Numbers. The MUST allow them or you can't
    HAVE the Natural Numbers.


    See Page 3 for Prolog
    https://www.researchgate.net/
    publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence



    Just shows your stupidity, thinking that all logic is just primitive,
    and not understanding what the Godel sentence actually is. Your mind
    seems to have blocked out the actual sentence presented earlier because
    you know you don't understand it, so you think it must be gibberisn,
    but it is you mind that is gibberish.

    You didn't give it the ACTUAL Godel sentence, just the simplified
    interpretation of it. The problem is that the actual Godel sentence
    can't be expressed in Prolog, as it uses 2nd order logic operations,
    which Prolog doesn't handle.

    There is a (long) sentence of first order logic that can be used as a Gödel >> sentence in a first order proof that the first oder Peano arithmetic is
    incomplete. Prolog can handle that sentence (e.g., as a list of characters) >> if the implementation has sufficiently memory.


    When unprovable always mean untrue then incompleteness
    cannot possibly exist.

    Incompleteness of the first order Peano arithmetic is not unprovable.

    Incompleteness of the first order group theory is provable and obvious.

    WRONG
    A deductive argument is only valid when the conclusion is a
    necessary consequence of all of its premises.




    And "necessary consequence" means it can never be false when the
    premises are True.


    It means more than that.
    It also means (A & ~A) ⊢ NULL

    Nope. Where do you get that from? Of course, it CAN imply NULL, but it
    can also imply anything we want.

    Since (A & ~A) can never be true, it can assert anything at all, and
    never violate the requirement of a valid deductive argument.


    If you want to requring Natual Language definitiona following, you are
    not using Formal Logic, as


    Formal Logic fully defines its set of Truth Maker as its axioms.


    That aspect of logic is correct.


    And thus, your statement above is just an incorrect statement, as it
    just doesn't follow.

    Your problem is you just don't understand hwo logic works, and are just
    making up your shit to try to cover for it.

    That... is exactly what it means - true, but unprovable.
    The complete system of all knowledge (by definition) cannot be correctly required to include unknowable things.
    The "system of all knowledge" indeed doesn't include every truth.

    Right, but that doesn't mean that (A & ~A) can imply them, since that
    operator means that *IF* the premise is true, it forces the conclusion
    to be true. Since the always false premise can't be true, it can imply anything.

    Trying to switch to Natural Languge meaning of words says we can't have abstract formulas at all, The "statement" A -> B, A, therefore B", can't
    be said, as "A", as the abstract symbol, can't have a nessesary
    consequence of "B", since they are unrelated symbols.

    Thus, "Logical Necessity" because what logic say, that the if there is
    no case when the premise is true and the consequent false, it is a valid implication.

    You didn't pay enough attention to the exact words.
    ===FALSE proves that Trump is the Christ===
    *That the premise [IS] FALSE makes the argument valid*

    But "FALSE PROVES x", means we don't know anything about x, since
    false is never true.


    Proves means shown to be definitely true.
    It is freaking nuts to use it the way math does.

    Copyright 2025 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius
    hits a target no one else can see." Arthur Schopenhauer

    Right, "SHOWN" which requires finite.

    Let me know when you can actually show something infinite, and not just "represent" the infinitness of that thing abstractly.

    When you can count ALL the Natural Numbers, even without needing to do something with them.

    That is you flaw, you don't understand the limits of Knowing / Showing,
    and the fact that there can be true things that can not be known or shown.

    Yes, we can't use the truth of those in a proof (unless it is a
    conditional proof, based on the assumption of that unproven fact).

    That is actually a well used concept in mathematics, If we can't
    determine the truth of a proposistion, but know it must be true or not,
    we can "branch" and work on two parrallel systems, one that assumes it
    is true, and one that assumes it is false, and anything provable in both
    we know must be true.

    A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if it
    takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to
    be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false.
    https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    WRONG
    A deductive argument is only valid when the conclusion is a
    necessary consequence of all of its premises.




    And "necessary consequence" means it can never be false when the >>>>>>>> premises are True.


    It means more than that.
    It also means (A & ~A) ⊢ NULL

    Nope. Where do you get that from? Of course, it CAN imply NULL,
    but it can also imply anything we want.


    Nothing is correctly derived by logical necessity from (A & ~A)
    by applying truth preserving operations to (A & ~A).

    Right, but that doesn't mean that (A & ~A) can imply them,

    It seems to me that the whole idea of logical implies
    is best replaced by <is a necessary consequence of>.
    This is a precise match for <proves> meaning
    {shown to be definitely true}.

    FALSE <implies> {The Moon is made from green cheese}
    is simply screwy.

    <snip>

    Which just shows you don't understand how logic works.


    This has never shows that I don't know how logic
    works, It has always been that I show how logic
    fails to be correct reasoning.

    Nope, your "correct reasoning" is just proved to be a creation of your
    mythical Truth Fairie.

    You don't understand how Logic works, which is why you think it isn't
    correct


    That is fine, you just need to understand that means you shouldn't try
    to make pronouncements about it.



    Trying to switch to Natural Languge meaning of words says we can't
    have abstract formulas at all, The "statement" A -> B, A, therefore
    B", can't be said, as "A", as the abstract symbol, can't have a
    nessesary consequence of "B", since they are unrelated symbols.


    Not at all. A <is a necessary consequence of> B selects
    all of the expressions of language where the
    <is a necessary consequence of> semantic connection exists.

    But "A" and "B" aren't "expressions of language", they are just symbols.


    That seems to be a dumb thing to say about expressions of the
    language of propositional logic.

    So, what is the meaning of the Symbol "A"?

    What can it represent and what can't it?


    Your "logic" can't handle anything in generaltiy, so is just primative.


    You don't have clue about the expressiveness of Montague Grammar.

    You don't understand how logic works. I don't think you actualy
    understand how that grammer works either.




    This works the same way as this:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism#Basic_structure

    You understand that "Syllogism" violates your concepts, as Syllogism
    can work on abstract symbols without Natuarl Language Meaning.

    Given:

    All A are B
    All B are C

    we can conclude:

    All A are C

    irrespective of the meaning of A, B, and C.



    Thus, "Logical Necessity" because what logic say, that the if there
    is no case when the premise is true and the consequent false, it is
    a valid implication.


    Which enables this
    FALSE <implies> {The Moon is made from green cheese}
    Counter-intuitive is bad in itself.


    Why do you consider that "counter-intuitive"?


    I could more accurately say that it is stupidly incorrect
    to say that FALSE implies any damn thing.

    Because you are just stupid and don't understand what that sentence means.

    Perhaps because you don't understand that logicstic language isn't the
    same as natural language.


    Is is because you don't know what that sentence actually means?

    It does.  The set of finite connections for all truths to their

    It is stupid to say that unknowable truths makes anything or anyone incomplete.
    Not if you are trying to construct a system where everything is provable.

    It is also stupid to define any formal system incapable of
    proving everything within its scope.
    Sadly, it turns out it is impossible (unless it doesn't even contain arithmetic).

    We can make a formal system of arithmetic incapable of summing a pair of integers simply by failing to define the axioms required to do this. It
    would be incomplete in the sense of stupidly incomplete.
    Yesk, it would. More powerful systems are incomplete in a more interesting

    It is stupid to say that unknowable things make anything
    or anyone incomplete.



    It makes knowledge incomplete!

    Your problem is you just refuse to read the definitions, and thus just
    live in a lie you told yourself.

    *Not at all. I have never done this*

    Sure you have.


    I have always superseded and overwritten
    the term-of-the-art definitions with the
    common definitions that these term-of-the-art
    definitions were supposed to be inheriting from.


    And thus you refuse to obey them. Knowing you are using a different
    meaning is worse then just not knowing, You are just admitting that you
    have been intentionally committing FRAUD and not just stupidity,

    I am very surprised that you never noticed this
    in all of these years especially when I used
    the subscripts such as proof[0] and proof[math]
    many many times. This must be your ADD.


    I was giving you the benfit of the doubt.

    But, since you point blank admitted to being a fraud, things are different.

    Perhaps the definition you didn't look at is what a logic system is or
    how logic works.

    The problem is you are not allowd to "superseded" the definitions in a
    system, that is just blantant fraud.

    You can create an alternate system with a different definition, but then
    you need to acknowledge that fact.

    You have continually asserted that you were refuting the various
    principles you don't like in there logic system (as that is the only
    place you can refute them), thus admitting you aren't in the system is
    just an admission that you are nothing but a big fraud.

    If you wanted to try to develope a new system, as I have mentioned many
    times before, you were welcome to do so, but yon need to be clear that
    is what you are doing, and then put in the actual work to formally
    define such a system. A task that from what I have seen from you is
    beyound you ability, but I am willing to be proven wrong on this. Since
    you don't have much time, if that is your goal, you need to get to it
    and stop your diversion of trying to refute system when not using the
    system as it was defined, which just locks you in as a fraud.

    Maybe I should just keep a reference to that statement and just post
    after every statement you make that you have admitted that you are just
    a fraud, since you admit you are not working in the system you seem to
    be talking about as you have changed the meaning of the terms-of-art.

    Sorry, you just blew up everything you might have claimed to have done.

    A sentence that can be neither proven nor disproven can be constructed

    And there's nothing wrong with that.  Some truths are unknowable, and

    The point is that some true statements are just unknowable, and there's
    nothing you can do or say to change that.

    Then Gödel's theorem only really says some things
    are unknowable. No shit Sherlock.



    Then you agree that Godels theorm is true, i.e. that any consistent >>>>>> formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic >>>>>> can be carried out contains statements of the language of F which are >>>>>> true but unknowable

    No I do not agree

    Then which step in Godel's proof of the above in incorrect?

    Only the whole essence.
    He only actually proved a triviality:
    unknowable truths cannot be shown to be definitely true.


    And the existance of unknowable truths makes the system incomplete.


    Since incomplete[math] cannot inherit from incomplete[0]
    {not having all the necessary or appropriate parts}
    it is not any actual kind of actual incomplete at all.

    If a theory is incomplete it is always possible to construct a more
    complete theory has more postulates and can prove more theorems. We
    can say that the original theory lacks a postulate that the more
    complete theory has.

    Exactly. Instead it should inherit from Purity[0].
    All Proof must inherit from Proof[0] meaning shown

    It seems you missed the point.  There's no requirement that two

    It is etymologically the same.

    When natural number arithmetic is limited to + - * /

    A sentence that can be neither proven nor disproven can be constructed

    Quantification is not any part of actual arithmetic.
    How can ordinary arithmetic between numeric digits

    Quantification is a part of first order loigc (and even more of higher
    order logics). Without quantification you can't say that a + b = b + 1
    for all a and b.

    An alternative to quantification is to have infinitely many postulates that specify what is 0+0, 0+1, 1+2, ...; 1+0, 1+1, 1+2, ...; ... and likewise
    for multiplication.

    Sometimes quantification is presented in a way its presense is not immediately obvious, for example with the quantification of natural language.

    If a theory is incomplete it is always possible to construct a more
    complete theory has more postulates and can prove more theorems. We
    can say that the original theory lacks a postulate that the more
    complete theory has.

    Simply start with the complete set of human general
    knowledge as the one any only formal system. Then
    all incompleteness are unknowns.

    One can't do that. Nobody knows the complete set of human general knowledge. New knowledge is discovered at a faster rate than can be incorporated in
    any formal system.

    I guess you don't understand what Quantification is.

    It isn't in Arithmatic, the simple operations between the numbers, but
    it is part of Mathematics, the relationships between the numbers, or in
    a logic that uses the arithmetic.

    Quantification is the ability to express that a property holds for None,
    Some, or All elements of a set.

    The C language has no operator for that, and the only way to directly
    "program" such an operator would be a loop over all possible values
    which is impossible when you have removed the limits.

    Of course, since you limits of understanding logic don't extend to the
    ability to quantify a property over an infinite set, since Prolog can't
    handle such things, it is outside you domain of understanding.

    Sure it can.

    Which is just you beating a dead horse and then haing sex with it.

    I have shown how there is a logical relationship between the two
    meanings,

    Incomplete[0]
    not having all the necessary or appropriate parts.
    Incomplete[math] lacks an inheritance relationship with Incomplete[0]
    Nah. It means not having a proof for all true statements, which we
    require for a complete system.


    Requiring a proof for unknowns truths is a bogus requirement.



    WHy?

    Do you have a source for that claim, or is this just more of your
    general fraud of redefining terms of art?

    Sorry, you are just proving that you are stupid, and too stupid to see
    your stupidity.

    Note, it isn't requiring the proof, but that the proof exists. Of course
    if we have the proof, then the truth of the statement can't be unknown,
    so you just showed that you are not thinking about what you say.

    This is not actually the same word it is an idiomatic meaning

    It is etymologically the same.


    Calling a pair of identical finite strings with
    entirely different semantic meanings {the same word}
    is etymologically unsound.

    No, it is not. For etymology meanings are important only if thy help
    to determine the evolution of the word.

    If every unique sense meaning had its own GUID
    we would never make this screwy mistake.

    The meaning of "every unique sense meaning" is too vague to be useful.

    The purpose of language is effective communication.

    That is one of the many purposes language can be used for. It can also
    be as a tool of thought and as a mark of group identity, and for other
    purposes.

    Whatever the Hell makes {effective communication}
    more difficult than necessary is erroneous.

    Some people would like to make effective deceptive communication as
    difficult as possible.

    That is the primary purpose of all of my work since 2004.
    One we define True(X) all liars will be exposed in real time.

    Seems that your approach is highly ineffective. You have not made any progress towards the defininiton of True(x) or towards a proof that that would holp
    to expose liars. So far you havn't even exposed as many lies as you have presented.
