22.1 Representability of Functions in a Formal Theory
... What remains to show is that this representation is in fact correct, that is that p(x)=y implies the validity of Rp (x,y) in Peano Arithmetic and that p(x)6=y implies the validity of ∼Rp (x,y). Fortunately, we are not required to give a formal proof for the validity of these formulas.2 Instead, we c ...
