Incompleteness Result
... The positive story of the development of classical logic has culminated in Godel’s completeness proof: “Whatever is true is provable” and this would encourage many working mathematicians to continue their pursuit to prove or disprove those historically well-known mathematical conjectures. However, t ...

Godel`s Incompleteness Theorem
... statement S, if S is a logical consequence of A, then there exists a formal proof that derives S from A. • Cool! So yes, we can replace the question about consequence with a question about provability. • Now we just need a procedure that eventually: 1. Derives S from A if S follows from A 2. Conclud ...

Gödel`s First Incompleteness Theorem
... “This sentence is false!” Kurt Gödel had a genius for turning such philosophical paradoxes into formal mathematics. In a recursively enumerable axiomatisation, T , all sentences — statements and proofs of statements — can, in principle, be listed systematically, although this enumeration will never ...
