    No, that is not the sentence. For Gödel's purposes it was important to >>>>>> cover languages that have no symbol for ':=' or '⊬'.

    But that is irrelevant to my preference for the numbering method.

    His result is supposed to apply to any formal language
    as expressive as PA or above.

    Yes, includint PA itself. Therefore his proof could not assume any
    symbols other than those of PA. A proof that requires other symbols
    proves nothing about PA.

    If he started with Minimal Type Theory and the understanding
    that cycles in the evaluation sequence of expressions indicate
    that they are semantically unsound we would have never heard
    of Incompleteness.

    Sooner or later someone would have found incompleteness anyway.

    Incompleteness is a misconception nothing more.

    No, it is a part of analytic knowledge. You have not shown any error
    in Gödel's and other proofs that every theory of natural numbers is incomplete. All you have shown is that you don't like the fact and
    some rationale for your dislike.

    His incompleteness applies to PA or above, thus
    applies to MTT.

    You have never shown the full theory of MTT so hard to tell. But if
    MTT is consistent it should be provably incomplete.

    the proof of Gödel's theorem is simpler if the number of symbols in >>>>>>>>> the alphabet is prime even if that would mean that some of the symbols
    are unused.

    Godel's Theorem doesn't need the number of symbols to be prime, it uses
    prime numbers to number the symbols, and prime powers for the position.

    And consequently Gödel's example of an undecidable formula is more complex
    than needed. Which doesn't really matter as the complex details can be >>>>>>> hidden behind definitions.


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

    Which is a statement in the meta-logic, not in the logic.

    G asserts it isn't provable, but asserting that there can be no number >>>>> which can encode a proof of itself.

    This statement MUST be either true of false.

    It's actually both.

    It is a lie that it is even a statement.
    I could equally say this statement is true or false: "What time is it?"

    You cant say that in the language of Peano arithmetic.

    PA is ridiculously inexpressive so that the key
    essence is hidden bu far too many purely extraneous
    details.

    PA can express everything we need to know about natural numbers.
    Complexities can be hidden behind definitions.

    Since Incompleteness applies to PA OR ABOVE.
    I go with above.

    You may need to rewrite the proof for the language of the theory you
    want to use, especially if you don't want to use the ordinary logic.

    As yousually your "in other words" is a lie. Existence of a simpler proof

    My words are true within your words:

    If you didn't mean that then you should not have said that.

    I did not say nor mean "you did not disagree with anything". The usual

    That's true, and I would prefer that rather than Gödel's

    are unused.

    Gödel numbers hide this simple essence behind a convoluted mess: >>>>>>>> G := (F ⊬ G)

    No, that is not the sentence. For Gödel's purposes it was
    important to
    cover languages that have no symbol for ':=' or '⊬'.

    But that is irrelevant to my preference for the numbering method. >>>>>>
    His result is supposed to apply to any formal language
    as expressive as PA or above.

    Yes, includint PA itself. Therefore his proof could not assume any
    symbols other than those of PA. A proof that requires other symbols
    proves nothing about PA.

    If he started with Minimal Type Theory and the understanding
    that cycles in the evaluation sequence of expressions indicate
    that they are semantically unsound we would have never heard
    of Incompleteness.

    Sooner or later someone would have found incompleteness anyway.

    Incompleteness is a misconception nothing more.

    No, it is a part of analytic knowledge. You have not shown any error
    in Gödel's and other proofs that every theory of natural numbers is incomplete. All you have shown is that you don't like the fact and
    some rationale for your dislike.

    His incompleteness applies to PA or above, thus
    applies to MTT.

    You have never shown the full theory of MTT so hard to tell. But if
    MTT is consistent it should be provably incomplete.


    I showed the entire language specification you just
    didn't pay attention.

    You can google it as [MTT YACC]
    https://philarchive.org/archive/PETMTT-4v2

    The full theory is that it translated its formal
    expressions into the directed graph of their
    evaluation sequence otherwise its just like FOL
    that can be extended to any HOL one level at a time.

    G := (F ⊬ G)
    00 ⊬ 01 02
    01 F
    02 G

    becomes this to represent the self reference
    00 ⊬ 01 00
    01 F

    Here is the same thing on Prolog

    ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).
    G = not(provable(F, G)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).
    false.

    The expression is rejected because it has an infinite
    cycle in its evaluation sequence.

    Which is a statement in the meta-logic, not in the logic.

    G asserts it isn't provable, but asserting that there can be no
    number which can encode a proof of itself.

    This statement MUST be either true of false.

    It's actually both.

    It is a lie that it is even a statement.
    I could equally say this statement is true or false: "What time is it?" >>>
    You cant say that in the language of Peano arithmetic.

    PA is ridiculously inexpressive so that the key
    essence is hidden bu far too many purely extraneous
    details.

    PA can express everything we need to know about natural numbers.
    Complexities can be hidden behind definitions.


    MTT can express anything that we way to know about
    formal expressions of language.

     Since Incompleteness applies to PA OR ABOVE.
    I go with above.

    You may need to rewrite the proof for the language of the theory you
    want to use, especially if you don't want to use the ordinary logic.

    LP = not(true(LP)).

    It has an infinite loop in its evaluation sequence
    making it semantically unsound.

    No, it is a part of analytic knowledge. You have not shown any error

    some rationale for your dislike.

    His incompleteness applies to PA or above, thus
    applies to MTT.

    You have never shown the full theory of MTT so hard to tell. But if
    MTT is consistent it should be provably incomplete.

    I showed the entire language specification you just
    didn't pay attention.

    Irrelevant to my comment that some parts of the theory are not yet shown.

    Your words have much less material than all human knowledge without
    any gaps. Therefore it is impossible to verify that you have told

    Natural numbers are one of the best understood topics of mathematics.
    Therefore restricting the assumptions to natural numbers provdes the
    basis for the most interesting result.

    Of course one can ask whether one can prove a similar theorem about
    finite strings. It is much simpler to express claims and proofs as
    fimite strings as thats how they are usually expressed anyway. But
    that requires that one first constructs a theory of finite strings.

    But we can show a direct one-to-one mapping of finite strings in a
    finite alphabet to natural numbers (it just becomes the notational base
    for the numbers).

    That's true, and I would prefer that rather than Gödel's mapping. But
    the proof of Gödel's theorem is simpler if the number of symbols in
    the alphabet is prime even if that would mean that some of the symbols
    are unused.

    Godel's Theorem doesn't need the number of symbols to be prime, it uses
    prime numbers to number the symbols, and prime powers for the position.

    And consequently Gödel's example of an undecidable formula is more complex
    than needed. Which doesn't really matter as the complex details can be
    hidden behind definitions.


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

    Which is a statement in the meta-logic, not in the logic.

    G asserts it isn't provable, but asserting that there can be no number >>>>>>> which can encode a proof of itself.

    This statement MUST be either true of false.

    It's actually both.

    It is a lie that it is even a statement.
    I could equally say this statement is true or false: "What time is it?" >>>>
    You cant say that in the language of Peano arithmetic.

    PA is ridiculously inexpressive so that the key
    essence is hidden bu far too many purely extraneous
    details.

    PA can express everything we need to know about natural numbers.
    Complexities can be hidden behind definitions.

    MTT can express anything that we way to know about
    formal expressions of language.

     Since Incompleteness applies to PA OR ABOVE.
    I go with above.

    You may need to rewrite the proof for the language of the theory you
    want to use, especially if you don't want to use the ordinary logic.

    All that I did was get rid of the purely extraneous
    complexity of Gödel's G

    All that complexity is in Gödel's proof. You need to rewrite the proof
    and verify its equivalence to the original if you want to ger rid of
    the complexity.

    But the complexity affects only the verification of the correctness of
    the proof. The meaning of the conclusion is simple.

    My words are true within your words:

    If you didn't mean that then you should not have said that.

    I did not say nor mean "you did not disagree with anything". The usual

    The complexity of Gödel's sentence is nuts.

    Its exactly the same thing a FOL with additional operators
    to make it much more expressive. For example it can directly
    expression any HOL logic expression. I give an example.

    Prolog is already fully defined and does the same thing:

    ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).
    G = not(provable(F, G)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).
    false.

    It rejects G as having a cycle in the directed graph
    of its evaluation sequence. G is not a truth bearer
    thus neither true nor false, just semantic gibberish.

    Which is a statement in the meta-logic, not in the logic.

    I could equally say this statement is true or false: "What time is >>>>>> it?"

    You cant say that in the language of Peano arithmetic.

    PA is ridiculously inexpressive so that the key
    essence is hidden bu far too many purely extraneous
    details.

    PA can express everything we need to know about natural numbers.
    Complexities can be hidden behind definitions.

    MTT can express anything that we way to know about
    formal expressions of language.

     Since Incompleteness applies to PA OR ABOVE.
    I go with above.

    You may need to rewrite the proof for the language of the theory you
    want to use, especially if you don't want to use the ordinary logic.

    All that I did was get rid of the purely extraneous
    complexity of Gödel's G

    All that complexity is in Gödel's proof. You need to rewrite the proof
    and verify its equivalence to the original if you want to ger rid of
    the complexity.

    But the complexity affects only the verification of the correctness of
    the proof. The meaning of the conclusion is simple.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    In other words you agree that I proved 1931 Incompleteness is
    incorrect.
    Gödel's G when boiled down to its barest essence is simply

    unsound the same way the Liar Paradox is unsound.

    My words are true within your words:

    If you didn't mean that then you should not have said that.

    I did not say nor mean "you did not disagree with anything". The usual
    meaning of what I said is that you don't disagree with what I said in
    my previous message about the complexity of Gödel's sentence.

    The complexity of Gödel's sentence is nuts.
    G := (F ⊬ G) Just detect the cycle in this

    If he started with Minimal Type Theory and the understanding
    that cycles in the evaluation sequence of expressions indicate
    that they are semantically unsound we would have never heard
    of Incompleteness.

    Sooner or later someone would have found incompleteness anyway.

    Incompleteness is a misconception nothing more.

    No, it is a part of analytic knowledge. You have not shown any error
    in Gödel's and other proofs that every theory of natural numbers is
    incomplete. All you have shown is that you don't like the fact and
    some rationale for your dislike.

    His incompleteness applies to PA or above, thus
    applies to MTT.

    You have never shown the full theory of MTT so hard to tell. But if
    MTT is consistent it should be provably incomplete.

    I showed the entire language specification you just
    didn't pay attention.

    Irrelevant to my comment that some parts of the theory are not yet shown.

    Its exactly the same thing a FOL with additional operators
    to make it much more expressive. For example it can directly
    expression any HOL logic expression.

    You mean it includes "tertium non datur" and "the principle of explosion"?

    I give an example.

    Thank's but the definition of the theory is still missing.

    Natural numbers are one of the best understood topics of mathematics.
    Therefore restricting the assumptions to natural numbers provdes the
    basis for the most interesting result.

    Of course one can ask whether one can prove a similar theorem about
    finite strings. It is much simpler to express claims and proofs as
    fimite strings as thats how they are usually expressed anyway. But
    that requires that one first constructs a theory of finite strings.

    But we can show a direct one-to-one mapping of finite strings in a
    finite alphabet to natural numbers (it just becomes the notational base
    for the numbers).

    That's true, and I would prefer that rather than Gödel's mapping. But
    the proof of Gödel's theorem is simpler if the number of symbols in
    the alphabet is prime even if that would mean that some of the symbols
    are unused.

    Godel's Theorem doesn't need the number of symbols to be prime, it uses
    prime numbers to number the symbols, and prime powers for the position.

    And consequently Gödel's example of an undecidable formula is more complex
    than needed. Which doesn't really matter as the complex details can be
    hidden behind definitions.


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

    Which is a statement in the meta-logic, not in the logic.

    G asserts it isn't provable, but asserting that there can be no number
    which can encode a proof of itself.

    This statement MUST be either true of false.

    It's actually both.

    It is a lie that it is even a statement.
    I could equally say this statement is true or false: "What time is it?" >>>>>>
    You cant say that in the language of Peano arithmetic.

    PA is ridiculously inexpressive so that the key
    essence is hidden bu far too many purely extraneous
    details.

    PA can express everything we need to know about natural numbers.
    Complexities can be hidden behind definitions.

    MTT can express anything that we way to know about
    formal expressions of language.

     Since Incompleteness applies to PA OR ABOVE.
    I go with above.

    You may need to rewrite the proof for the language of the theory you
    want to use, especially if you don't want to use the ordinary logic.

    All that I did was get rid of the purely extraneous
    complexity of Gödel's G

    All that complexity is in Gödel's proof. You need to rewrite the proof
    and verify its equivalence to the original if you want to ger rid of
    the complexity.

    But the complexity affects only the verification of the correctness of
    the proof. The meaning of the conclusion is simple.

    *Gödel already said that it is equivalent*

    Not about my comment.

    Nice to see that you don't disagree.

    In other words you agree that I proved 1931 Incompleteness is incorrect.
    Gödel's G when boiled down to its barest essence is simply semantically
    unsound the same way the Liar Paradox is unsound.

    As yousually your "in other words" is a lie. Existence of a simpler proof
    does not make the original one incorrect.

    My words are true within your words:
       "Nice to see that you don't disagree."
    If you didn't mean that then you should not have said that.

    I did not say nor mean "you did not disagree with anything". The usual >>>> meaning of what I said is that you don't disagree with what I said in
    my previous message about the complexity of Gödel's sentence.

    The complexity of Gödel's sentence is nuts.
    G := (F ⊬ G) Just detect the cycle in this
    and Gödel is refuted.

    Nice to see that you still don't disagree with my comment about the
    complexity of Gödel's sentence.

    Yet I absolutely do disagree.

    OK, you think Gödel's numbering scheme is simple.

    *Gödel already said that it is equivalent*

    That doesn't mean 'equally complex'.
