    So?

    Tarski's x like Godel's G are know to be true by an infinite
    sequence of truth preserving operations.


    Every time that you affirm your above error you prove
    yourself to be a liar.

    It is quite obvious that you are the liar. You have not shown any error >>>> above.


    Richard said the infinite proofs derive knowledge
    and that infinite proofs never derive knowledge.

    That is included in my "not shown above", in particular the word
    "proofs".

    We cannot know that anything is true by an infinite
    sequence of truth preserving operations as Richard
    falsely claims above.

    You are just mixing up your words because you don't understd that
    wrores. amnd just making yourself into a LIAR.

    Our KNOWLEDGE that the statement is true, comes from a finite proof in
    the meta system. BECAUSE we know the statment is true, we know that
    there exists an infinite chain of logic in the system that makes it true.


    This was eventually resolved by Richard acknowledging
    that he never meant what he said.

    No, you still don't understand what i have been say, that or you are
    just being your pathological liar again.


    What he meant was that when an infinite sequence of truth
    preserving operations are transformed into a finite proof
    then we can know what the result of an infinite sequence
    of truth preserving operations would be.


    And that transformation is done in a META system. Something you seem to
    be incapable of understanding as you seem incapable of understand what
    the FORMAL part means in Formal Logic.


    His claim is that an infinite sequence of truth preserving
    operations derives g in PA. This is known by a finite proof
    in meta-math.

    I disagree.

    And you are wrong.


    ...We are therefore confronted with a proposition which
    asserts its own unprovability. 15 ... (Gödel 1931:40-41)

    So? That is a statement in MM, not PA.


    Not even an infinite sequence of truth preserving operations
    can show that a self-contradictory expression is true in PA.
    When examined in meta-math the expression ceases to be
    self-contradictory making it provable.

    But asserting your own unprovablity ISN'T "Self-Contradictory" unless
    you are in a primitive system that specifies that truth must be provable.


    More generically every expression that is neither provable
    nor refutable is any formal system F is not a proposition of F.


    Nope. Where are you getting THAT from?

    I guess you are saying that the great problems of mathematics like the
    twin primes conjecture might not be propositions in mathematics.

    I.E. You are just showing you don't know what you are talking about.

    Having a truth value, whether known or even knowable make a statment a proposition in the system.

    By your logic, we can't talk about a proposition to ask if it is true,
    until we first prove or refute it, and thus, can't work on the proof or refutation in the system.

    That makes you system pretty worthless, it knows what it started with,
    and only what you stumbles upon.

    Our KNOWLEDGE that the statement is true, comes from a finite proof in
    the meta system.

    Thus zero knowledge comes from the infinite proof
    You spelled "known" incorrectly as "know" yet claimed
    that knowledge comes form an infinite proof.

    You can't even pay attention to your own words ???


    There is no "infinite proof".

    You just can't read, it seems. Maybe you just don't understand what
    truth and proof actually mean.

    The fact we know there exists an infinite chain comes from the fact we
    have a finite proof in the meta, and the knowledge that this knowledge transfers from the meta to the original system by how the meta was
    constructed.

    Yes, you can't KNOW something that is only established by an infinite
    chain of steps, but you can know it if there exists in another system a
    finite proof and knowledge of transfersbility of that knowledge.

    You are just getting yourself stuck in knots with your ignorance. All
    you are showing is the limitations of your ability to think about things.

    There is nothing wrong with my words, just you understanding of them
    because you don't understand the basics that the words are based on.

    Because you made yourself STUPID because you decided you didn't want to
    learn the topics because you were afraid the knwoledge would brainwash
    you, so you brainwashed yourself with stupidity instead.
