    The equivocation of switching formal systems from PA to meta-math. There’s no such thing happening. They are very clearly separated.
    No, it just shows you don't understand how meta-systems work.
    IT SHOWS THAT I KNOW IT IS STUPID TO CONSTRUE TRUE IN META-MATH AS
    TRUE IN PA.
    MM doesn’t even contain the same sentences as PA.
    But, as I pointed out, the way Meta-Math is derived from PA,
    Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.
    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.
    Yes it is. If MM proves that a sentence is true in PA, that sentence
    is true in PA.
    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    is only true because the inner sentence is bullshit gibberish.
    It’s a perfectly wellformed sentence.
    But MM has exactly the same axioms and rules as PA, so anything
    established by that set of axioms and rules in MM is established in PA
    too.
    There are additional axioms in MM, but the rules are built specifically
    One single level of indirect reference CHANGES EVERYTHING.
    PA speaks PA. Meta-math speaks ABOUT PA.
    The liar paradox is nonsense gibberish except when applied to itself,
    then it becomes true.
    What is "the liar paradox applied to itself"?

    That is a lie unless you qualify your statement with X is a

    say that statement X is rejected as untrue by a consensus of
    medical opinion.

    No, as so often, you've missed the nuances. The essence of the
    scenario is making emphatic statements in a topic which requires
    expertise, but that expertise is missing. Such as me laying down the
    law about surgery or you doing the same in mathematical logic.

    It is not at all my lack of expertise on mathematical logic
    it is your ignorance of philosophy of logic as shown by you
    lack of understanding of the difference between "a priori"
    and "a posteriori" knowledge.

    Garbage.

    Surgical procedures and mathematical logic are in fundamentally
    different classes of knowledge.

    But the necessity of expertise is present in both, equally. Emphatically
    to assert falsehoods when expertise is lacking is a form of lying. That
    is what you do.

    This allows for the possibility that the consensus is not
    infallible. No one here allows for the possibility that the
    current received view is not infallible. Textbooks on the
    theory of computation are NOT the INFALLIBLE word of God.

    Gods have got nothing to do with it. 2 + 2 = 4, the fact that the
    world is a ball, not flat, Gödel's theorem, and the halting problem,
    have all been demonstrated beyond any doubt whatsoever.

    Regarding the last two they would have said the same thing about
    Russell's Paradox and what is now known as naive set theory at the
    time.

    There's no "would have said" regarding Russell's paradox. Nobody would
    have asserted the correctness of naive set theory, a part of mathematics
    then at the forefront of research and still in flux. We've moved beyond
    that point in the last hundred years.

    And you are continually stating that theorems like 2 + 2 = 4 are false.

    That is a lie. I never said anything like that and you know it.
    Here is what I actually said:

    When the operations are limited to applying truth preserving
    operations to expressions of language that are stipulated to
    be true then
    True(L,x) ≡ (L ⊢ x) and False(L, x) ≡ (L ⊢ ~x)

    Then
    (Incomplete(L) ≡ ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x)))
    becomes
    (¬TruthBearer(L,x) ≡ ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x))) Incompleteness utterly ceases to exist

    The theory L is incomplete if ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x))).
    That you say ¬TruthBearer(L,x) does not make x disappear.

    No. You lack the expertise.

    I know how the current systems work and I disagree

    You have not shown that you know and have often shown that you don't.
    Your disagreement is just an opinion. You have not shown any reasron

    We believe in logic and arithmetic because nobody has ever observed

    When truth is only derived by starting with

    So? You keep on saying that, but you don't show its relevence.

    Yes, Godel makes an off-hand high level reference to the use of the
    liar's paradox, but he doesn't actually us it the way you think. Your
    confusion seems to come because you are too stupid to understand what he
    is doing because your mind is just about 10 sizes too small to
    understand it.

    If you would try to find where in the actual proof there is an error you
    might be able to make progress, but commenting about the high level
    notes doesn't show any error in the actual proof.

    But, if all you can understand is those high level notes, then you need
    to admit that you don't have enough understanding to actual show an
    error in it, and your claims become nothing but deliberate lies.

    system, and the bar for "sufficiently powerful" is not high.

    When truth is only derived by starting with

    then unprovable in PA becomes untrue in PA.

    No. Unprovable will remain.

    *Like I said you don't pay f-cking attention*

    Stop swearing. I don't pay much attention to your provably false
    utterances, no. Life is too short.

    That you denigrate what I say without paying attention to what
    I say <is> the definition of reckless disregard for the truth
    that loses defamation cases.

    Not at all. I denigrate your lies, where by lies I mean the emphatic utterances of falsehood due to a lack of expertise in the subject matter.
    See the beginning of this subthread.

    You are the one with reckless disregard for the truth. You haven't even bothered to read the introductory texts which would help you understand
    what the truth is.

    I have no fear of you starting a defamation case against me. For a
    start, you'd have to learn some German, and for another thing, I'd win on
    the merits.

    Hint: Gödel's theorem applies in any sufficiently powerful logical
    system, and the bar for "sufficiently powerful" is not high.

    Unless it is stipulated at the foundation of the notion of
    formal systems that ~Provable(PA, g) simply means ~True(PA, g).

    If you're going to redefine the word provable to mean something else,
    you'll need some other word to mean what provable means to everybody
    else.

    Unprovable(L,x) means Untrue(L,x)
    Unprovable(L,~x) means Unfalse(L,x)
    ~True(L,x) ^ ~True(L, ~x) means ~Truth-Bearer(L,x)

    If you're going to change the standard meaning of standard words, you'll
    find communicating with other people somewhat strained and difficult.

    ZFC did the same thing and that was the ONLY way
    that Russell's Paradox was resolved.

    No, they didn't do the same thing. They stayed within the bounds of
    logic. And yes, they resolved a paradox. There is no paradox for your "system" to resolve, even if it were logically coherent.

    When ~Provable(PA,g) means ~True(PA,g) then
    incompleteness cannot exist.

    OK, That's a proof by contradiction that ~provable cannot mean ~true. We
    know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist. So the initial proposition cannot hold, or it is in an inconsistent system.

    Gödel showed otherwise.
    Gödel had a different f-cking basis.
    Where is the difference?
    True is only provable from axioms thus ~Provable(PA, G) == ~True(PA, G)
    The metatheory proves otherwise. If G were not true, ~G would need to
    be provable.

    When truth is only derived by starting with truth and applying truth >>>>> preserving operations then unprovable in PA becomes untrue in PA.
    No, unless your system is less powerful than PA.
    Untrue means the negation is true, but ~G is also unprovable.
    It is not any less powerful than PA in the same f-cking way that ZFC
    is not less powerful than naive set theory.

    Then it is incomplete or inconsistent.


    But, as I pointed out, the way Meta-Math is derived from PA, >>>>>>>>> Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.
    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.
    Yes it is. If MM proves that a sentence is true in PA, that
    sentence is true in PA.
    Within my model: Only PA can prove what is true in PA.

    PA can’t prove anything about itself.

    But MM has exactly the same axioms and rules as PA, so anything >>>>>>>> established by that set of axioms and rules in MM is established >>>>>>>> in PA too.
    There are additional axioms in MM, but the rules are built
    specifically
    One single level of indirect reference CHANGES EVERYTHING. PA
    speaks PA. Meta-math speaks ABOUT PA.
    The liar paradox is nonsense gibberish except when applied to

    No. Naive set theory had proven itself to be incomplete or inconsistent.
    It needed changing or replacing.

    When ~Provable(PA,g) means ~True(PA,g) then

    OK, That's a proof by contradiction that ~provable cannot mean ~true.

    The assumption that ~Provable(PA, g) does not mean ~True(PA, g)
    cannot correctly be the basis for any proof because it is only
    an assumption.

    It is an assumption which swifly leads to a contradiction, therefore must
    be false. But you don't understand the concept of proof by
    contradiction, and you lack the basic humility to accept what experts
    say, so I don't expect this to sink in.

    We know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist. So the

    No, there is no such assumption. There are definitions of provable and

    Get rid of that single assumption AND EVERYTHING CHANGES

    It's not an assumption, it's a proven fact, much like 2 + 2 = 4 is a
    proven fact.

    No, because you haven't DEFINIED anything, just assumed the rules you

    Note, your stated definition is EXACTLY what Formal Systems use, only
    they understand that the sequence of operations that show truth might be infinite, but the sequence to be a proof must be finite.

    It seems your problem is that you don't understand what the words you
    are using actually mean.



    Unprovable(L,x) means Untrue(L,x)
    Unprovable(L,~x) means Unfalse(L,x)

    No, because they didn't claim to be in it.

    Z and F DID stay in the bounds of Formal Logic, to build a set of
    alternate set theories, one of which is ZFC.

    Note, ZFC is not "a person" but a theory, and thus isn't an actor that
    does things, something your language doesn't seem to understand.


     And yes, they resolved a paradox.  There is no paradox for your
    "system" to resolve, even if it were logically coherent.

    When ~Provable(PA,g) means ~True(PA,g) then
    incompleteness cannot exist.

    OK, That's a proof by contradiction that ~provable cannot mean ~true.

    The assumption that ~Provable(PA, g) does not mean ~True(PA, g)
    cannot correctly be the basis for any proof because it is only
    an assumption.

    Nope, and just shows your inability to understand how logic works.

    It is a FACT that in MM it was shown that G is TRUE in PA, and also
    unprovable in PA, which shows that the sequence of logic preserving
    operations in PA that establish it is fundamentally infinite in length.

    Due to the additional knowledge about the PRR referenced in G that
    existss in MM, we can prove G in MM, even if we can't in PA.



    We
    know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist.  So the initial >> proposition cannot hold, or it is in an inconsistent system.


    Only on the basis of the assumption that
    ~Provable(PA, g) does not mean ~True(PA, g)
    Get rid of that single assumption AND EVERYTHING CHANGES

    No, YOU are the one making assumptions, because it seems you don't
    understand what a PROOF actually is, or how TRUTH is actually
    established, because you have chosen to make yourself ignorant of the
    basic theory.

    You just said that the current foundation of logic leads to a
    contradiction. Too many negations you got confused.

    I did not say that, at least I didn't mean to. You've trimmed the
    context unusually severely, so it's difficult to see what I did say.

    When we assume that only provable from the axioms
    of PA derives True(PA, g) then (PA ⊢ g) merely means
    ~True(PA, g) THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY CONTRADICTION.

    I can't make out your weasel word "derives". There are true things in
    any system which can't be proved in that system. Unless that system is inconsistent, or so restricted in scope that it can't do counting.

    But you don't understand the concept of proof by contradiction, and
    you lack the basic humility to accept what experts say, so I don't

    No, there is no such assumption. There are definitions of provable and
    of true, and Gödel proved that these cannot be identical.

    *He never proved that they cannot be identical*

    This is another example of lying by lack of expertise. You are simply
    wrong, there.

    The way that sound deductive inference is defined
    to work is that they must be identical.

    Whatever "sound dedective inference" means. If you are right, then
    "sound deductive inference" is incoherent garbage.

    A conclusion IS ONLY true when applying truth

    I'm not sure what that adds to the argument.

    It is very stupid of you to say that Gödel refuted that.

    It is a lie to allege I said that. I didn't. Gödel reached his result precisely by following truth preserving transformations on known correct premises. All mathematicians do.

    You just said that the current foundation of logic leads to a

    When we assume that only provable from the axioms
    of PA derives True(PA, g) then (PA ⊢ g) merely means
    ~True(PA, g) THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY CONTRADICTION.

    But you don't understand the concept of proof by
    contradiction, and you lack the basic humility to accept what experts
    say, so I don't expect this to sink in.



    We know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist.  So the
    initial proposition cannot hold, or it is in an inconsistent system.

    Only on the basis of the assumption that
    ~Provable(PA, g) does not mean ~True(PA, g)

    No, there is no such assumption.  There are definitions of provable and
    of true, and Gödel proved that these cannot be identical.


    *He never proved that they cannot be identical*

    The way that sound deductive inference is defined
    to work is that they must be identical.

    Nope, becuase

    TRUE is based on ANY sequence of steps, including an infinite sequence.

    PROVABLE is based on only a FINITE sequence of steps.


    A conclusion IS ONLY true when applying truth
    preserving operations to true premises.

    Which might be infinite, and thus not a proof.


    It is very stupid of you to say that Gödel refuted that.


    Because he did, for the actual definitions, not your false one.

    Sorry God you are that can't undetstand what a infinite thing is.

    Whatever "sound deductive inference" means. If you are right, then
    "sound deductive inference" is incoherent garbage.

    *Validity and Soundness*
    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. Otherwise, a deductive argument is said
    to be invalid.

    A deductive argument is sound if and only if it is
    both valid, and all of its premises are actually
    true. Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound. https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    Thus your ignorance and not mine.

    No. I suspected you were using the phrase as a sort of trademark for one
    of your own fancies, like you've done in the past with other phrases.
    Seeing how you actually mean what those words mean, then you are simply
    wrong again, as so often.

    A conclusion IS ONLY true when applying truth
    preserving operations to true premises.

    I'm not sure what that adds to the argument.

    It is already specified that a conclusion can only be
    true when truth preserving operations are applied to
    expressions of language known to be true.

    That Gödel's proof didn't understand that this <is>
    the actual foundation of mathematical logic is his

    You're lying by lack of expertise, again. Gödel understood mathematical
    logic full well (indeed, played a significant part in its development),
    and he made no mistakes in his proof. Had he done so, they would have
    been identified by other mathematicians by now.

    Unprovable in PA has always meant untrue in PA when
    viewed within the deductive inference foundation of
    mathematical logic.

    Yet another lie by lack of expertise. Unprovable and untrue have been
    proven to be different things, whether in the system of counting numbers
    or anything else containing it. Whatever you might mean by "the
    deductive inference foundation of mathematical logic" - is that another
    one of your "trademarks"?

    Unprovable and untrue have been proven to be different things, whether

    Generically epistemology always requires provability.

    That's too many multi-syllabic words together for either of us to
    understand any meaning from.

    Mathematical knowledge is not allowed to diverge from
    the way that knowledge itself generically works.

    I don't know where you get that from. Who precisely is determining what mathematicians are allowed to do? Epistemologists, perhaps? Get real.

    Whatever you might mean by "the deductive inference foundation of
    mathematical logic" - is that another one of your "trademarks"?

    Do you think that mathematical logic just popped
    into existence fully formed out of no where?

    Of course not. It has had a long history of development complete with
    since discarded dead ends and the occasional triumph, like any other
    branch of mathematics or science.

    All coherent knowledge fits into an inheritance hierarchy
    knowledge ontology. A non fit means incoherence.

    Again, a meaningless concatenation of too many multi-syllabic words.
    Whatever it is, it's probably not true, and certainly has no relevance to mathematics.

    Does not apply any truth preserving operations to

    Sure it does.

    Which of these steps used a non-truth perserving operation?

    Given
    a) A,
    b) ~A (the initial contradiction in the system).

    Let B be the property that we what to prove to be true.

    Basic truth perserving rules
    1) A -> A | B
    2) If X | Y is true, and x is false, then Y must be true

    From a) and 1) we have A | B is true.
    From b) and 2) we have that since A | B is true, and A is false, B must
    be true.

    Thus *ANY* property can be proven true.


    If ~Provable in PA was understood to mean ~True

    That is counter-factual within my precise specification.

    That's untrue - you don't have a precise specification. And even if you >>>> did, Gödel's theorem would still hold.

    When truth is only derived by starting with
    truth and applying truth preserving operations
    then unprovable in PA becomes untrue in PA.

    No. Unprovable will remain.

    *Like I said you don't pay f-cking attention*

    Stop swearing. I don't pay much attention to your provably false
    utterances, no. Life is too short.


    That you denigrate what I say without paying attention to what
    I say <is> the definition of reckless disregard for the truth
    that loses defamation cases.

    Hint: Gödel's theorem applies in any sufficiently powerful logical
    system, and the bar for "sufficiently powerful" is not high.


    Unless it is stipulated at the foundation of the notion of
    formal systems that ~Provable(PA, g) simply means ~True(PA, g).

    Unprovable(L,x) means Untrue(L,x)
    Unprovable(L,~x) means Unfalse(L,x)
    ~True(L,x) ^ ~True(L, ~x) means ~Truth-Bearer(L,x)

    If you're going to change the standard meaning of standard words, you'll
    find communicating with other people somewhat strained and difficult.


    ZFC did the same thing and that was the ONLY way
    that Russell's Paradox was resolved.

    When ~Provable(PA,g) means ~True(PA,g) then
    incompleteness cannot exist.

    But it doesn't. "Provable(PA,g)" means that there is a proof on g in PA
    and "~Provable(PA,g)" means that there is not. These meanings are don't
    involve your "True" in any way. You may define "True" as a synonym to "Provable" but formal synonyms are not useful.

    You just said that the current foundation of logic leads to a

    I did not say that, at least I didn't mean to. You've trimmed the

    I can't make out your weasel word "derives". There are true things in
    any system which can't be proved in that system. Unless that system is
    inconsistent, or so restricted in scope that it can't do counting.

    We know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist. So the >>>>>> initial proposition cannot hold, or it is in an inconsistent
    system.
    Only on the basis of the assumption that ~Provable(PA, g) does not
    mean ~True(PA, g)
    No, there is no such assumption. There are definitions of provable
    and of true, and Gödel proved that these cannot be identical.
    *He never proved that they cannot be identical*
    This is another example of lying by lack of expertise. You are simply
    wrong, there.

    The way that sound deductive inference is defined to work is that they
    must be identical.
    Whatever "sound dedective inference" means. If you are right, then
    "sound deductive inference" is incoherent garbage.
    A deductive argument is sound if and only if it is both valid, and all
    of its premises are actually true. Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound.
    I see nothing about provability in there. I mean, if something is
    provable we can regard it as true (or the system is inconsistent
    anyway), but not the other way around: the existence of a proof is
    not guaranteed

    A conclusion IS ONLY true when applying truth preserving operations to
    true premises.
    I'm not sure what that adds to the argument.
    It is already specified that a conclusion can only be true when truth preserving operations are applied to expressions of language known to be true.
    No, it can also be true without a derivation even existing. This
    surprising result was Gödel’s achievement.

    That Gödel's proof didn't understand that this <is> the actual
    foundation of mathematical logic is his mistake.
    He did not think one could derive true expressions by applying
    operations that don’t preserve truth.

    Unprovable in PA has always meant untrue in PA when viewed within the deductive inference foundation of mathematical logic.
    No. Even then it leaves the negation of the unprovable statement
    unprovable.

    the principle of explosion is the law according to which any statement
    can be proven from a contradiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion

    Right, and I have shown your that proof, and you haven't shown what
    statement in that proof is wrong, so you have accepted it.

    Thus, YOU are the one disagreeing with yourself.

    Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound.
    https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    Here is the PL Olcott correction / clarification of all of
    them. A proof begins with a set of expressions of language
    known to be true (true premises) and derives a conclusion
    that is a necessary consequence by applying truth preserving
    operations to the true premises.

    But you aren't allowed to CHANGE those meanings.

    Sorry, but until you actually and formally fully define your logic
    system, you can't start using it.

    And, if you want to talk in your logic system, you can't say it refutes arguments built in other logic system.

    At best you can show those proofs can't be built in your system, but
    first you will need to show that your idea of a logic system can be used
    to build formal systems with the power described as the prerequisites of
    those proofs, which for Godel says you need to first show that your
    equivalent of PA that can be built in your system supports the needed properties.

    My guesss is that will take you 10-20 years, if you can even do it, my
    guess is it is actually beyond your ability to understand the processes.


    Mathworld
    is correct yet fails to provide enough details.

    The principle of explosion
    is incorrect because its conclusion is not a necessary
    consequence of applying truth preserving operations.
    It fails to require semantic relevance.

    What step in the proof was wrong?

    Your failure means you accept that your logic is just inconsistant.


    Validity and Soundness
    is incorrect because its conclusion is not a necessary
    consequence of applying truth preserving operations.
    It fails to require semantic relevance.

    I don't think you understand what "semantics" are in formal logic.

    It semms you really do need to start by throwing out EVERYTHING from the existing logic systems, and fully define what you mean, and see what you
    can prove with that.

    Something on the order of Euclid's geometry.

    I don't need to point out exactly where and how your "proof" of 2 + 2 = 5

    false.

    Even if every other detail of Gödel's proof is 100% correct

    is PA merely means untrue in PA and does not show that PA is

    You can't so require. If you try, you will end up fairly quickly with an inconsistent mess. The precise details of that process aren't

    You don't actually understand these things ....

    You can't stop lying, can you? As I've said several times, I've been
    through a proof of Gödel's theorem in full detail and thus do understand

    .... you merely dogmatically accept that Gödel must be correct entirely

    And "Necessary Consequence" in formal logic means that if follows from a (potentailly infinite) series of the defined operation on the defined stipulated truths.

    Godel did exactly that, showing that his statement G, which is that
    there does not exist a number g that satisfies a particular primative
    recursive relationship, MUST be true, and can not be proven in that
    system, as the only sequence in the system that establishes the
    necessary consequence is one of infinite length, namely being the
    testing of every possible natural number, and seeing that it does not
    meet the requirements.


    (Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems(L) □ C) ≡ True(L, C)

    This simple change does get rid of incompleteness because
    Incomplete(L) is superseded and replaced by Incorrect(L,x).

    Nope, just proves that you are too stupid to understand what you are
    talking about.


    And, if you want to talk in your logic system, you can't say it
    refutes arguments built in other logic system.


    ZFC proves that naive set theory was incoherent.
    Russell's paradox still exists in incoherent naive set theory.


    No, Russels's paradox proved that naive set theory was incoherent.

    ZFC was an alternate system proposed to fix the issue, and is immune to Russell's paradox, as it doesn't allow the logic of Russell's paradox to
    be formed.

    Note, in some senses ZFC is weaker than Naive Set Theory, as there are
    concepts in Naive Set Theory that can't be mapped to ZFC, and thus there
    are other Set Theories used in some applications.

    As has been pointed out, you are free to try to define your alternate
    system of logic, but if you want to do that, you need to actually do the
    work to create it, and not just have a concept of a plan.

    You can perhaps talk about your ideas, and what they might or might not
    be able to do, but until you actually build the system, and show what it
    can do, and PROVE that it can meet the needed requirements, you can't
    say that you can "solve" the problems that you are trying to refute.

    A lot of what you talk about is actually old and has been tried before
    (but of course since you don't know history, you are doomed to repeat
    it) and while sometimes the results are interesting, they inverably
    result in systems much "weaker" than classical logic, and I don't think
    anyone has gotten a system to the point of support a good equivalent of
    the full set of properties of the Natural Numbers, as it seems there is something in the power to define that, which leads to things like incompleteness.

    We can ALWAYS prove that any expression of language is true or

    No, we can't.

    We can sometimes prove it is true if we can find the sequence of steps

    We can sometime prove it is false if we can find the sequence of steps

    Since there are potentially an INFINITE number of possible proofs for

    Not relevant. The meaning of "Provable(PA,g)" does not depend on
    the definition of "True(L,x)". "Provable(PA,g)" is false because
    there is no proof of g in PA. For the same reason "Provable(PA,~g)"
    is false.

    There are actually infinitely many sentences of PA that could be used
    instead of g to show incompleteness but one is enoubh.

    That Gödel relies on True(meta-math, g) to mean True(PA, g)
    is a stupid mistake that enables Incomplete(PA) to exist.

    Gödel proved Provable(meta-math, "~Provable(PA,g) ∧ ~Provable(PA,g)").

    No, we can't.


    Proof(Olcott) means a sequence of truth preserving operations
    that many not be finite.

    With a hyperfinite sequnce it is possible to prove a false claim.

    The most obvious truth preserving operation is the identity operation.
    Its result is the same as its premise, so the truth valure of the
    result must be the same as the truth value of the premise. So we
    can form a hyperfinite sequence

    1 = 1, 1 = 1, 1 = 1, ... , 1 = 2, 1 = 2, 1 = 2

    where ... denotes infinitely manu intermedate steps. The first equation
    is true, every other equation is as ture as the one before it and the
    last equation is false.

    Which just shows you don't understand how formal systems, and their

    It does not matter how they are constructed the only
    thing that matters is the functional end result.

    OF course it does. If you don't understand the rules by which a system
    was constructed, you can't know what you can do in the system.

    Yes, an ordinary user of a system may not need to know the gritty
    details of the system, but to claim it is not logical, requires going
    into the rules to find the error, otherwise the error is more apt to be
    in the "logic" that the user is trying to apply. (Like what WM has been
    doing).


    *When we construe True(L,x) this way*
    When g is a necessary consequence of the Haskell Curry
    elementary theorems of PA (Thus stipulated to be true in PA)
    then and only then is g is True in PA.

    But G *IS* a necessary consequence of the axioms of PA. Yes, it needs an infinite number of steps, but it is demonstrable by them.

    That 0 does not satisfy the PRR, is a simple matter of the mathematics
    created by those axioms of PA.

    That 1 does not satisfy the PRR, is a simple matter of the mathematics
    created by those axioms of PA.

    That 2 does not satisfy the PRR, is a simple matter of the mathematics
    created by those axioms of PA.

    That any given natural number g does not satisfy the PRR, is a simple
    matter of the mathematics created by those axioms of PA, but we have to evaluate this individually for each number g.

    Thus, we have a chain of necessary consequences, infinite in length,
    that shows that the statement G is true, G being that there is no number
    g that satisfies that particular PRR.


    The fact that we can prove, in MM, the fact that in general, no g can
    satisfy the PRR in a finite number of steps, doesn't negate that it is a necessary consequence in PA, it just takes longer there.

    In MM, we can also prove that there is no finite sequence of steps in PA
    that would show it to be a necessary consequence, and the PRR was
    constructed in MM (using the operation available in PA) such that any
    finite proof in PA of that statement could be encoded into a number
    (which exist in PA) that would satisfy that PRR which can be processed
    in PA. Since the existance of such a number both proves that a number
    satisfing the PRR exists, and that no such number can exist, there can't
    be such a number.


    https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf (Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems(PA) □ g) ≡ True(PA, g)

    If there is no sequence of truth preserving operations
    in PA from its Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems to g
    then it can be construed that g is simply not true in PA.
    Incorrect(PA,g) ≡ (True(PA, g) ∧ True(PA, ~g))

    But I just showed it, AGAIN to you, so, you claim was refuted before you
    said it, so is just a lie.


    Your ignorance doesn't make the claim not true, just shows that you
    are just stupid and a pathological liar.


    That you say this without providing any supporting reasoning
    indicates that you may not have an actual clue about these
    thing and instead only have mere empty bluster.


    The supporting reasoning is that you continually do things like this,
    bring up ideas that are false as disproven, shows your stupidity,

    The fact you never try to find the step where an error was made, shows
    you don't understand how logic works.

    I am not a liar and you are acting like a goofy nitwit.


    No, your ARE a Liar, a pathological liar, that has stripped himself of
    the ability to undetstand what is truth because he has gaslighted and brainwashed himself (likely with the help of Satan) into beleiving your
    own lies, and stripped you of the ability to reason.

    For many reasons: "A sequence of truth preserving operations"

    But since there exist statements that are True but not Provable. except
    by your incorrect definition of Provable, your logic is just broken.

    To try to define True as Provable means that one of the categories must
    be changed, and thus your logic must be less powerful.

    If you reduce Truth to just what is Provable, you system has lost some
    truths, and likely even some that were provable before as you need to
    limit what can be said.

    If you expand Provable to Truth, then you have lost the concept of
    Knowledge, that was based on Provable.

    That is counter-factual within my precise specification.

    That's untrue - you don't have a precise specification.  And
    even if you
    did, Gödel's theorem would still hold.

    When truth is only derived by starting with

    No.  Unprovable will remain.

    Unless it is stipulated at the foundation of the notion of
    formal systems that ~Provable(PA, g) simply means ~True(PA, g).

    Unprovable(L,x) means Untrue(L,x)
    Unprovable(L,~x) means Unfalse(L,x)
    ~True(L,x) ^ ~True(L, ~x) means ~Truth-Bearer(L,x)

    ZFC did the same thing and that was the ONLY way

    When ~Provable(PA,g) means ~True(PA,g) then
    incompleteness cannot exist.

    But it doesn't. "Provable(PA,g)" means that there is a proof on g in PA >>>> and "~Provable(PA,g)" means that there is not. These meanings are don't >>>> involve your "True" in any way. You may define "True" as a synonym to

    We can ALWAYS prove that any expression of language is true or
    not on the basis of other expressions of language when we have a
    coherent definition of True(L,x).

    Not relevant.

    It <is> relevant in that it does refute the Tarski
    Undefinability theorem that <is> isomorphic to incompleteness.

    The meaning of "Provable(PA,g)" does not depend on
    the definition of "True(L,x)". "Provable(PA,g)" is false because
    there is no proof of g in PA. For the same reason "Provable(PA,~g)"
    is false.


    There is no proof of Tarski's x in his Theory only
    because x is incoherent in his theory. https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    Nope, you are ignoring the work before which he mentions as establishing x.

    So, you are guilty of lying by making baseless assumptions because of
    your ignornace. This can not be an "honest mistake" as you have been
    told previously of the error, so repeating them is just a reckless
    disregard for the truth.



       Let {T} be such a theory. Then the elementary
       statements which belong to {T} we shall call the
       elementary theorems of {T}; we also say that
       these elementary statements are true for {T}.
       Thus, given {T}, an elementary theorem is an
       elementary statement which is true.
       https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf

    Haskell Curry is referring to a set of expressions that are
    stipulated to be true in T.

    We define True(L, x) to mean x is a necessary consequence of
    the Haskell Curry elementary theorems of L. (Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems(L) □ x) ≡ True(L, x)

    x = "What time is it?"
    True(English, x) == false
    True(English, ~x) == false
    ∴ Not_a_Truth_Bearer(English, x)

    Under math rules we would declare that English is incomplete
    because neither x nor ~x is provable in English.

    Except that "English" is not a formal logic system, so the definition
    doesn't apply, and you are shown to just be an idiot that doesn't
    undetstand what he is talking about.


    There are actually infinitely many sentences of PA that could be used
    instead of g to show incompleteness but one is enoubh.

    That Gödel relies on True(meta-math, g) to mean True(PA, g)
    is a stupid mistake that enables Incomplete(PA) to exist.

    Gödel proved Provable(meta-math, "~Provable(PA,g) ∧ ~Provable(PA,g)").


    That is the same thing as proving:
    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true.


    Nope, and your repeating it proves you to be an idiotic pathological liar.

    But, in Formal System, like what you talk about, there ARE DEFINITION
    that are true by definition, and can not be ignored.

    To make a statement that is contrary to those definitions, is to knowing
    say a falsehood, which makes it a lie, at least after the error has been pointed out, and that


    This allows for the possibility that the consensus is not
    infallible. No one here allows for the possibility that the
    current received view is not infallible. Textbooks on the
    theory of computation are NOT the INFALLIBLE word of God.

    But in Formal System, the definition ARE "infallibe".

    Yes, you might disagree with the definition, and form a competing
    system, but you need to go to the effort to actually create that
    definition, and make sure you are clear that you are working in an
    alternate system.


    Peter Olcott is likewise ignorant about mathematical logic.  So in that
    sense, the false things he continually asserts _are_ lies.


    *It is not at all that I am ignorant of mathematical logic*
    It is that I am not a mindless robot that is programmed by
    textbook opinions.

    But, then make claims about things in a system, which REQUIRE the
    following of the definitions of the system, that ignore the definitions
    of the system.


    Just like ZFC corrected the error of naive set theory
    alternative views on mathematical logic do resolve their
    Russell's Paradox like issues.

    But, ZFC was a brand new system created, not a "fixing" of naive set theory.

    We talk about what is true in ZFC, not what is true in the "fixed" naive
    set theory.

    Yes, the "default" lable of what system we are talking about when we
    just use the term "Set Theory" changed, but, that was done by the
    general consensus of the users of Set Theory (and not everyone actually
    uses ZFC, but know enough to make it clear form context what system they
    are in.

    Snce you have yet to publish a formal definition of some alternate
    system, just some loose ideas about what might be different, you can't
    even make references to it, let alone try to assume that it is now the "default" computaiton system.


    (Incomplete(L) ≡  ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x)))

    When True(L,x) is only a sequence of truth preserving operations
    applied to x in L and False(L, x) is only a sequence of truth
    preserving operations applied to ~x in L then Incomplete(L)
    becomes Not_Truth_Bearer(L,x).

    But, since Tarski showed that there are input to True(L, x) that can not
    have a truth value, that means that True can not be a "predicate", since Predicates are always truth bearers. True is defined such that:

    If x is true in L, True(L, x) will be True.
    If x is false in L (and thus ~x is true) then True(L, x) will be false
    and if Truth_Bearer(L, x) is false, then True(L, x) will be False.

    Note, True(L, x) is not the same as Truth(L, x) which returns the truth
    value of x, but is a full predicate that just rejects (returns false)
    for any statement that is not actually true.

    Tarski shows that that such a predicate can not exist in a Formal Logic
    system that meets certain minimal requirements.


    This is not any lack of understanding of mathematical logic.
    It is my refusing to be a mindless robot and accept mathematical
    logic as it is currently defined as inherently infallible.

    No, it *IS* your refusal to understand what formal logic actually is,
    and thus your repeated LYING about what is true.

    But the necessity of expertise is present in both, equally. Emphatically

    And you are continually stating that theorems like 2 + 2 = 4 are false.
    That is, theorems unequivocally proven by unequivocally correct
    reasoning. Such statements are a form of lying.

    That you can't begin to imagine that mathematical logic might
    not be infallible is definitely an error on your part ....

    Not at all. The error is fully on your part, and that is assuming that established fact in an area in which you have no expertise must be false because you don't like it. 2 + 2 IS 4, whether you like it or not.

    The elementary parts of mathematical logic are indeed correct. Those are
    the parts which enable the proving of 2 + 2 = 4, the Halting theorem, and
    many, many other results.

    If you were right, mathematics simply wouldn't exist.

    Now who's lying? You have frequently denied the truth of proven
    mathematical facts like 2 + 2 = 4. As I have continually made clear in
    my posts "like 2 + 2 = 4" includes the halting theorem, Gödel's theorem,
    and Tarski's theorem.

    Here is what I actually said:

    When the operations are limited to applying truth preserving
    operations to expressions of language that are stipulated to
    be true then
    True(L,x) ≡ (L ⊢ x) and False(L, x) ≡ (L ⊢ ~x)

    Then
    (Incomplete(L) ≡ ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x)))
    becomes
    (¬TruthBearer(L,x) ≡ ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x))) Incompleteness utterly ceases to exist

    Incompleteness is an essential property of logic systems which can do
    anything at all. If what you assert is true (which I doubt), then your
    system would be incapable of doing anything useful.

    Here is where your lack of expertise shows itself. All the above

    And I don't "believe they are infallible"; I've studied, understood, and checked proofs that they are true.

    Here is what I actually said:

    I reject what you say because it's objectively wrong. Just as if you

    No. You lack the expertise.

    That's another lie. You lack the expertise to make any judgment about

    In the same way that naive set theory was a faulty foundation.
    It was not initially called naive set theory. It was only called

    No, not in the same way.

    So it's uncalled for insults now, is it? The above paragraph is

    But in any formal system that is powerful enough to do anything with,

    4. It is a fact that any non-specialist with a decent amount of humility

    It is high time that you recognised that you are not an expert in this

    No, all you have done is shown that you don't undertstand what you are
    talking about.

    Godel PROVED that the FORMAL SYSTEM that his proof started in, is unable
    to PROVE that the statement G, being "that no Natural Number g, that
    satifies a particularly designed Primitive Recursive Relationship" is
    true, but also shows (using the Meta-Mathematics that derived the PRR
    for the original Formal System) that no such number can exist.

    He does it by showing that that particular PRR can be derived, using the mathematics available in the original formal system, that when
    interpreted by the semantics added in the Meta-Mathematics, can be
    interpreted as a "Proof Checker" for a proof encoded by the rules of the meta-math, for the statement of G.

    Thus, if a number exists that satisfies that PRR, it also produces a
    valid proof that no such number can exist, and thus since that would be
    a contradiction, and the stated assumption was that the original formal
    system was non-contradictory, so no such number can exist.

    It also shows that no proof can be formed in the original Formal System,
    as any such proof could be encoded into a number, that would satisfy the
    PRR, and thus show the proof could not be valid, as the statement was false.

    Your failure to understand this just shows your ignorance of the
    subject. Admittedly, this is somewhat complicated, so ignorance of it
    isn't that bad, but when you claim that the logic is wrong, and do so
    asserting things that are just not true, just shows that you are REALLY ignorant of what you talk about, and nothing but a pathological liar.

    Sorry, YOU are the one over-your-head, but are too stupid to understand
    it, and seem to have drowned and killed off your mental ability.

    The equivocation of switching formal systems from PA to meta-math.



    No, it just shows you don't understand how meta-systems work.

    The Formal System is PA. that defines the basic axioms that are to be
    used to establish the truth of the statement and where to attempt the
    proof of it.

    The Meta-Math, is an EXTENSION to PA, where we add a number of
    additional axioms, none that contradict any of the axions of PA, but in particular, assign each axiom and needed proven statement in PA to a
    prime number. These provide the additional semantics in the Meta-Math to understand the new meaning that a number could have, and with that
    semantics, using just the mathematics of PA, the PRR is derived that
    with the semantics of the MM becomes a proof-checker.

    Note, the Meta-Math is carefully constructed so that there is a
    correlation of truth, such that anything true in PA is true in MM, and
    anything statement shown in MM to be true, that doesn't use the
    additional terms defined, is also true in PA.

    There is no equivocation in that, as nothing changed meaning, only some
    things that didn't have a semantic meaning (like a number) now does.

    If you want to try to show an actual error or equivocation, go ahead and
    try, but so far, all you have done is shown that you don't even seem to understand what a Formal System is, since you keep on wanting to
    "re-invent them" but just repeat the basic definition of them.

    No, it just shows you don't understand how meta-systems work.


    IT SHOWS THAT I KNOW IT IS STUPID TO
    CONSTRUE TRUE IN META-MATH AS TRUE IN PA.
    THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS STUPID IS YOUR ERROR.

    But, as I pointed out, the way Meta-Math is derived from PA, statements
    that are true in MM that do not use terms added in MM, are true in PA,
    as their sequence of truth preserving steps used to show them true in MM
    used nothing just in MM.

    That you just blindly say this isn't true just proves your stupidity.

    There is no equivocation in that, as nothing changed meaning, only
    some things that didn't have a semantic meaning (like a number) now does.

    If you want to try to show an actual error or equivocation, go ahead
    and try, but so far, all you have done is shown that you don't even
    seem to understand what a Formal System is, since you keep on wanting
    to "re- invent them" but just repeat the basic definition of them.

    No, it just shows you don't understand how meta-systems work.


    IT SHOWS THAT I KNOW IT IS STUPID TO
    CONSTRUE TRUE IN META-MATH AS TRUE IN PA.
    THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS STUPID IS YOUR ERROR.

    But, as I pointed out, the way Meta-Math is derived from PA,

    Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.
    Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.
    Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.
    Meta-math <IS NOT> PA.

    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.
    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.
    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.
    True in meta-math <IS NOT> True in PA.

    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    is only true because the inner sentence is bullshit gibberish.



    But MM has exactly the same axioms and rules as PA, so anything
    established by that set of axioms and rules in MM is established in PA too.

    There are additional axioms in MM, but the rules are built specifically
    with rules so that any ststement in MM that doesn't use a term only in
    MM has exactly the same truth value as in PA.

    If you care to point out an error in that, please show where the error
    is, and not just pull lies out of your ass.

    Also, there was no statement "This sentence is not true" actually used
    in MM to show anything, so that is just irrelevent, and shows your
    stupdity and inability to reason with facts, but just use "sound bites".

    Maybe if you took a few years to actually learn how logic works, rather
    than just quoting your own lies and fallacies, you might be able to
    sound a bit more intelligent.

    Just repeating your own lies just proves your utter stupidity,

    It is derived from the base system, and the meta part can talk about the system, but it still has ALL the contents of the base system, so it can

    The pointer to pointer is one level of indirect
    reference away form the pointer to the character string.

    But the meta-math is not restricted to nust talking about PA, it can
    talk in the language of PA.


    I know exactly what a meta-system is. It is a system that
    refers to the underlying system by one level of indirect
    reference. PA talks PA meta-math talks ABOUT PA.


    Nope, you THINK you know about what a meta-system is, but you don't.

    You are using a definition from another context which isn't applicable.

    The "meta" systems, are system that FULLY INHERET the base system, and
    then ADD information about that system, in a way they can still talk the original language.

    Sorry, you are just proving your ignorance.

    Read the papers and where they talk about how the meta-systems are built.

    Unprovable(L,~x) means Unfalse(L,x)
    ~True(L,x) ^ ~True(L, ~x) means ~Truth-Bearer(L,x)

    We can ALWAYS prove that any expression of language is true or
    not on the basis of other expressions of language when we have a
    coherent definition of True(L,x).


    No, we can't.


    Proof(Olcott) means a sequence of truth preserving operations
    that many not be finite.

    With a hyperfinite sequnce it is possible to prove a false claim.


    It will always be possible to merely prove a false claim.

    Only if it is proven in an unsound system.

    What ceases to be possible is proving that a false claim is true.

    Even that can be provable in an unsound system. At least it is
    provable in an incosstent system that can express the claim.

    And of course allowing hyperfinite proofs can break an otherwise
    sound system:

    The most obvious truth preserving operation is the identity operation.
    Its result is the same as its premise, so the truth valure of the
    result must be the same as the truth value of the premise. So we
    can form a hyperfinite sequence

    1 = 1, 1 = 1, 1 = 1, ... , 1 = 2, 1 = 2, 1 = 2

    where ... denotes infinitely manu intermedate steps. The first equation
    is true, every other equation is as ture as the one before it and the
    last equation is false.

    is C
    is True in L.
    This simple change does get rid of incompleteness because
    Incomplete(L)
    is superseded and replaced by Incorrect(L,x).
    I still can’t see how this makes ~C provable.


    If C is not provable it is merely rejected as incorrect
    not used as any basis to determine that L is incomplete.

    For many reasons: "A sequence of truth preserving operations"
    is a much better term than the term "provable".


    But since there exist statements that are True but not Provable.
    except by your incorrect definition of Provable, your logic is just
    broken.


    There cannot possibly be any expressions of language that
    are true in L that are not determined to be true on the
    basis of applying a sequence of truth preserving operations
    in L to Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems in L.


    Right, but there can be expressions of language that are true in L by an INFINITE sequence of truth-preserving operations that are not provable
    which needs a FINITE sequence of truth-preserving operations.

    INFINITE is not FINITE so there is a difference.

    https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf
    Everything that is true on the basis of its meaning
    expressed in language is shown to be true this exact
    same way.


    But not provable.

    Truth allows infinite sequences.

    Provable does.

    Trying to Define Olcott-Provable to allow infinite sequences, doesn't
    make actual Provable allow it.

    It is just a LIE to use mis-defined terms in your logic, and that shows
    that you fundamentally don't understand what you are talking about.

    It is very easy if your weren't stuck in rebuttal mode

    So, no answer. Just an attempted diversion. As you ought to be aware, definitions don't "cease to exist" when you shut your eyes.

    A set as a member of itself ceases to exist in ZFC, thus
    making Russell's Paradox cease to exist in ZFC.

    The definition of incompleteness is what it is, and you can't redefine it

    then there will be some other word to take the place of incompleteness.
    Your system _will_ be incomplete if it's consistent, with a mininum level
    of capability.

    After 2000 years most of the greatest experts in the world
    still believe that "This sentence is not true" is undecidable

    I never said anything like that.

    You did.

    You are so stuck on rebuttal that you can't even keep track on the

    That "incorrectly shows" is non-sense. A language does not show,

    for a proof you need a theory, i.e. more than just a language.

    That a theory can't prove something is usually not provable in the

    that can be interpreted as a metatheory.

    That just means he needs to define his basic logic formal system that he
    uses to build his Computational Formal System.

    The proceedure to build the Basic Logic Formal System is of the same
    form (but needing greater detail and work) as what Zermelo and Fraenkel did.

    "Ordinary Logic" is just a very commonly used Formal Logic system that
    most things are based on.My first guess would be that PO couldn't
    actually define is PO-Logic System by himself, as he will just blindly
    pull in "facts" from the Standard Logic system thinking them as
    "obvious", without undetstanding where they came from.

    Their foundation was not ordinary logic. They began with
    the incoherent foundation of naive set theory and fixed it.


    No, they did NOT start with Naive Set Theory, and that is the root of
    your problem. They started with just fundamental logic and created
    axioms to create their Set Theory. There is no "base" of Naive Set
    Theory in ZFC, the the axioms of ZFC.

    They may have looked at the rules that built Naive Set Theory and
    thought what can we keep and what needs to go and be changed, but ZFC is
    a new creation.

    If you want to change the rules of logic, that is EXACTLY what you need
    to do, but it will be at a lower level, as ZFC was built on the
    framework of standard logic, while you modified logic needs to rebuild
    that without a frameword below it.

    It is pretty dumb that you tried to get away with saying
    that a set containing itself was a part of ordinary logic.


    Where do you see anyone saying that.

    Naive Set Theory said you could build a set from ANYTHING, which allows
    us to define a set containing itself, as the Set of All Sets was
    considered an element of the domain, and thus subsets of it were.

    ZFC abandoned that concept, and defined the rules used to build a set,
    and part of that is that in the definition of what is in a set, you
    can't reference the set itself.

    Incompleteness ceases to exist the same way that Russell's

    Not until your create your logic system like Z & F did to make ZFC.

    It wouldn't be that simple. Zermelo and Fraenkel accepted ordinary logic

    a new logical foundation.


    Their foundation was not ordinary logic. They began with
    the incoherent foundation of naive set theory and fixed it.

    It is pretty dumb that you tried to get away with saying
    that a set containing itself was a part of ordinary logic.

    It is not a good idea to say anything false about other people. The
    best way to avoid that sin is to say nothing about other people.

    I already told you that you should not use "in other words" because
    whenever you do you are wrong.

    More generally, the most efficient way to avoid the sin of lying
    about other people is to say nothing about other people. In this
    group anything about other people is off-topic anyway.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving

    And if you don't you prove nothing.

    Logic is just a formal system. The semantics/interpretation might
    be wanted to correspond to common-sense truth. Truth inside a
    logical system can be totally unrelated. Is the philosophical
    debate on what truth is even finished?

    If Goldbach conjecture is true then there is some finite or infinite

    Yes. In the case of an infinite sequence we can not prove it.

    No, it is not. There are truth preserving transformations that do

    There are zero truth preserving operations that are not truth
    preserving operations. The principle of explosion is not a
    truth preserving operation. The full semantics of natural
    can be extended to only apply truth preserving operations
    to its own statement of basic fact.

    But Syllogism is not the only form of "Truth Preserving Operations".

    IF that is all you accept, then be prepared for a very limited logic system.


    For example, the reduction rule: if A,
    B, and C are formulas, the recution rule permits that from
    A ∨ B and ¬A ∨ C can be inferred B ∨ C.


    That is the way the contradiction is supposed to work
    A ∧ ¬A cancel each other out leaving B ∨ C.
    A ∧ ¬A ∴ Trump is the Christ is proven (is nuts)


    Just shows you are the one that is NUTS.

    Your problem is it seems you only understand the most elementary of
    logic, but presume everyone one else is just using that most elementary
    of logic.

    Yes, With the most restricted set of rules, you can't get to
    incompleteness, but that is because you can't create the system with the
    power needed for the proof.

    The problem is that having the fullness of the logic of Natual Numbers
    is enough to cross the line, so your "Complete" Logic system can't have
    that, but you just are too stupid to undetstand that limit, because you
    don't know how any of your tools actually work.

    That is the basic model of all correct proofs.

    No, it is not. There are truth preserving transformations that do
    not follow that pattern.

    There are zero truth preserving operations that are not truth
    preserving operations. The principle of explosion is not a
    truth preserving operation. The full semantics of natural
    can be extended to only apply truth preserving operations
    to its own statement of basic fact.

    But Syllogism is not the only form of "Truth Preserving Operations".


    It is the foundation of necessarily correct reasoning.

    Which you haven't been able to define, and if that is all you allow,
    then you are just admitting you logic system is too weak to handle many
    of the problems we want to handle.


    True(L,x) ≡ Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems(L) □ x
    x is a necessary consequence of the expressions of the
    language of L that have been stipulated to be true.

    False(L,x) ≡ Haskell_Curry_Elementary_Theorems(L) □ ~x
    ~x is a necessary consequence of the expressions of the
    language of L that have been stipulated to be true.

    The above provides the basis for LLM AI systems to
    distinguish facts from fictions.

    That the provability operator has been replaced
    with the necessity operator seems to require semantic
    relevance. This prevents logic from diverging from
    correct reasoning in many different ways such as
    the principle of explosion.


    Which just shows you don't understand what KNOWLEDGE is about, as the
    necessity operator, since is allows for infinite chains, isn't something
    that can be always KNOWN.



    IF that is all you accept, then be prepared for a very limited logic
    system.


    For example, the reduction rule: if A,
    B, and C are formulas, the recution rule permits that from
    A ∨ B and ¬A ∨ C can be inferred B ∨ C.


    That is the way the contradiction is supposed to work
    A ∧ ¬A cancel each other out leaving B ∨ C.
    A ∧ ¬A ∴ Trump is the Christ is proven (is nuts)


    Just shows you are the one that is NUTS.

    Your problem is it seems you only understand the most elementary of
    logic, but presume everyone one else is just using that most
    elementary of logic.

    Yes, With the most restricted set of rules, you can't get to
    incompleteness, but that is because you can't create the system with
    the power needed for the proof.

    The problem is that having the fullness of the logic of Natual Numbers
    is enough to cross the line, so your "Complete" Logic system can't
    have that, but you just are too stupid to undetstand that limit,
    because you don't know how any of your tools actually work.

    When True(L,x) and False(L,x) are defined as above then
    Truth_Bearer(L,x) ≡ (True(L,x) ∨ False(L,x))
    eliminating the notion of Incomplete(L) previously defined by
    Incomplete(L) ≡ ∃x ∈ Language(L) ((L ⊬ x) ∧ (L ⊬ ¬x))


    Nope, because Incompleteness isn't defined in terms of necessisty, but
    of PROVABILITY, something you are admitting you are just throwing out
    the window.

    In WORDS, so we have clarity, System L is incomplete if there exist
    statements accepted in the language of L that can neither be proven or
    refuted. Note, statements accepted in the Lanaguage L means statements
    the language accepts as having semantic meaning, and thus assumed to be
    truth bearers.

    That is just an attempt of a straw man deception. Not a good attempt
    as it is so obvious.

    The principle of explosion is not a truth preserving operation.

    Of course not. A principle is not an operation.

    For example, the reduction rule: if A, B, and C are formulas,
    the recution rule permits that from A ∨ B and ¬A ∨ C can be
    inferred B ∨ C.

    That is the way the contradiction is supposed to work
    A ∧ ¬A cancel each other out leaving B ∨ C.
    A ∧ ¬A ∴ Trump is the Christ is proven (is nuts)

    We believe that reduction preserves truth because nobody has ever
    presented an example where both A ∨ B and ¬A ∨ C are true and B ∨ C
    is false.

    As another example, we believe that tautologies of propositional logic
    are true because nobody has ever presented an example of false tautology.
