... We can now assume that y is even, but nothing else. With this restriction we can now use y as a particular element of the set. Thus we may make statements like “2y is even”. This is understood to hold for every y in the domain of y (even numbers). However, we may not assume that y is divisible by 4, ...

... Pairing Functions and Gödel Numbers For each n, the function [a1, …, an] is clearly primitive recursive. Gödel numbering satisfies the following uniqueness property: Theorem 8.2: If [a1, …, an] = [b1, …, bn] then ai = bi for i = 1, …, n. This follows immediately from the fundamental theorem of arit ...

Proofs • A theorem is a mathematical statement that can be shown to
... • A theorem is a mathematical statement that can be shown to be true. • An axiom or postulate is an assumption accepted without proof. • A proof is a sequence of statements forming an argument that shows that a theorem is true. The premises of the argument are axioms and previously proved theorems. ...

Theories.Axioms,Rules of Inference
... What do axioms do for us? That is where a logic comes in, with rules of inference, which allow us to derive theorems from axioms and other theorems. This is the alternate characterization of theorems, instead of saying a theorem is a valid(true in all possible assignments to free variables) formula ...
