    It looks like you are correct.

    Of course I'm correct. Unlike you, I don't post claims unless I am
    sure of them.

    But there is some irony here since someone (I can't remember who)
    already pointed out this error to you when you were claiming the
    poster in question was from Germany. That's like assuming that
    someone must be from Mountain View CA since they use gmail.

    I always count everything that I have been told as possibly false
    until independently confirmed. That is how first-principles reasoning
    works:

    First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge
    First-principles thinking is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer
    complicated problems and unleash creative possibility. Sometimes
    called “reasoning from first principles,” the idea is to break down
    complicated problems into basic elements and then reassemble them from
    the ground up.  https://fs.blog/first-principles/


    Maybe you should try applying that to some of your 'theories', since
    they are actually wrong.

    After all, they don't follow the actual definitions of the field.

    FAIL.

    It is not that my theories are wrong it is that they do not correspond
    to conventional wisdom because I have corrected the errors in the
    philosophical underpinnings of this conventional wisdom. People acting
    like sheep say that I am wrong because they are attached to the
    conventional wisdom.

    When it comes to actually showing any mistake all they have is gibberish
    double talk anchored in the fact that they simply do not believe me.

    It isn't 'Conventional Wisdom', it is that they don't conform to the
    RULES of the field. They just are not truths, as truths by definition, conform to reality, and in a logical field, that includes its rules and definitions.


    When it is shown that these rules are inconsistent with themselves then
    this inconsistency cannot be ignored and must be resolved.

    The replies that you are trying to reject are NOT 'Gibberish', they are pointing out that you are BREAKING THE RULES of the field.

    No they are not. You simply do not believe that this repeating pattern
    can be recognized by embedded_H even though you yourself already
    acknowledged that it is an infinitely repeating pattern.

    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩
    Ĥ3 copies its input ⟨Ĥ4⟩ to ⟨Ĥ5⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ4⟩ ⟨Ĥ5⟩...

    Logically,
    you are an OUTLAW. You can not accept them, because your mind is stuck
    in your fantasy where you THINK you know something that no one else
    does, but that idea is just a lie.

    You claims that you have somehow 'proved' something are just flat out
    LIES as the definition of Truth means it obeys the reality of the
    system. Perhaps the simplest one to point out is your insistance that
    the behavior of the simulation of <H^> <H^> does not correspond to the behavior of the machine H^ applied to <H^>, when by all definitions of simulation, that is the plain meaning.

    The fact that embedded_H is applied to a copy of itself reveals
    something new that conventional wisdom has never sufficiently accounted
    for. No one has ever examined the notion of infinitely nested simulation applied to the halting problem counter-examples prior to my analysis.

    THAT A SIMULATION MUST BE ABORTED TO PREVENT THE INFINITE EXECUTION OF
    THIS SIMULATION IS A CORRECT MEASURE THAT THIS INPUT SPECIFIES A
    NON-HALTING SEQUENCE OF CONFIGURATIONS.

    ALL THAT YOU CAN SAY AS A REBUTTAL TO THAT IS ESSENTIALLY
    BLAH, BLAH, BLAH: I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

    Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ depends on embedded_H aborting its simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩. embedded_H cannot depend on anything else aborting its simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

    (a) You know that these two facts are true.

    (b) You know that these two facts derive a different sequence of configurations.

    ∴ any claim that these two sequences of configurations must be identical
    is disingenuous at best.

    If a simulation does not match
    the thing it is supposed to be simulating, the simulation is inaccurate.
    You even admit (or have in the past) that H^ applied to <H^> Halts,
    which means the ONLY correct answer for what a simulation of <H^> <H^>
    should show is that it halts. BY DEFINITION.

    In many ways I pity you, as it seems you have some ideas that might be
    worth discussing (in a different venue) but you have basically closed
    that door because you are insainly committed you mind to a path that you
    can not support. This seems to indicate that you really don't understand
    what Truth actually is, and are going to suffer the consequences of that.

    You have FAILED. You are going to pay for your rebellion to the truth.

    No, it's that they are simply wrong.  And wrong in very dumb
    (uninteresting) ways...


    If I was simply wrong then Wittgenstein would not have perfectly summed
    up my view quoted on page 6 of my paper:

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel


    Wittgenstein
    Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the
    philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

    Wittgenstein understood these things on the basis of their philosophical foundation rather than the learned-by-rote of logicians and
    mathematicians. He understood these things at the deepest philosophical
    level. He was very famous in his day for his knowledge of the philosophy
    of logic.

    If you think that I am incorrect then you would be able to explain the
    specific error that Wittgenstein made.

    Everyone presented with this challenge simply dodges and asserts that Wittgenstein did not understand Gödel very well.

    Also on page 7 of my paper is Gödel's own words that claim:

    "Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof." In other words his proof has the exact same basis
    as the liar paradox, that he refers to as the "liar antinomy".

    I explain that the liar paradox is simply not a "truth bearer" because
    it is self-contradictory.

    Even one of the greatest minds on the subject of the liar paradox Saul
    Kripke did not boil it down to this simple essence.

    And you never notice that the CORRECT behavior DOES reach the final

    As I have told you at .east fifty times this never occurs:
    embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* ⟨Ĥ⟩.qn

    whether or not embedded_H aborts its simulation.
    You either have brain damage or are a liar.

    No, it's that they are simply wrong.  And wrong in very dumb
    (uninteresting) ways...


    If I was simply wrong then Wittgenstein would not have perfectly
    summed up my view quoted on page 6 of my paper:

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel


    Wittgenstein
    Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the
    philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy
    of language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

    Wittgenstein understood these things on the basis of their
    philosophical foundation rather than the learned-by-rote of logicians
    and mathematicians. He understood these things at the deepest
    philosophical level. He was very famous in his day for his knowledge
    of the philosophy of logic.

    If you think that I am incorrect then you would be able to explain the
    specific error that Wittgenstein made.

    Everyone presented with this challenge simply dodges and asserts that
    Wittgenstein did not understand Gödel very well.

    Also on page 7 of my paper is Gödel's own words that claim:

    "Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar
    undecidability proof." In other words his proof has the exact same
    basis as the liar paradox, that he refers to as the "liar antinomy".

    I explain that the liar paradox is simply not a "truth bearer" because
    it is self-contradictory.

    Even one of the greatest minds on the subject of the liar paradox Saul
    Kripke did not boil it down to this simple essence.

    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Kripke%20-%20Outline%20of%20a%20Theory%20of%20Truth.pdf



    Maybe the issue is that you mind just can't handle the complexities of
    the problem. B
    Like I said point out the specific error that Wittgenstein made (his
    view is identical to mine) or admit that you are simply utterly clueless
    about the deep analysis of these things, you only know them by rote.

    Wittgenstein  is quoted on page 6
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel



    Again, he is presupposing that True only means provable.

    His Quote that you highlight:

    'True in Russell's system' means, as was said: proved in Russell's
    system; and 'false in Russell's system' means:the opposite has been
    proved in Russell's system

    is not a correct statement.
    So then what could 'True in Russell's system' mean ???

    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a comparable
    notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    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...

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
    theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of 𝓣 as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you
    always necessarily end up with truth.

    That is the same freaking moronic thing you always say as if the only
    way to tell that the above specifies an infinite loop is to run it and
    wait forever.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn

    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩

    Then embedded_H sees that these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    // RIGHT HERE
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩
    Ĥ3 copies its input ⟨Ĥ4⟩ to ⟨Ĥ5⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ4⟩ ⟨Ĥ5⟩...

    It is not that my theories are wrong it is that they do not
    correspond to conventional wisdom

    No, it's that they are simply wrong.  And wrong in very dumb
    (uninteresting) ways...


    If I was simply wrong then Wittgenstein would not have perfectly
    summed up my view quoted on page 6 of my paper:

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel


    Wittgenstein
    Austrian-British philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the
    philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the
    philosophy of language.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

    Wittgenstein understood these things on the basis of their
    philosophical foundation rather than the learned-by-rote of
    logicians and mathematicians. He understood these things at the
    deepest philosophical level. He was very famous in his day for his >>>>>> knowledge of the philosophy of logic.

    If you think that I am incorrect then you would be able to explain >>>>>> the specific error that Wittgenstein made.

    Everyone presented with this challenge simply dodges and asserts
    that Wittgenstein did not understand Gödel very well.

    Also on page 7 of my paper is Gödel's own words that claim:

    "Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar >>>>>> undecidability proof." In other words his proof has the exact same >>>>>> basis as the liar paradox, that he refers to as the "liar antinomy". >>>>>>
    I explain that the liar paradox is simply not a "truth bearer"
    because it is self-contradictory.

    Even one of the greatest minds on the subject of the liar paradox
    Saul Kripke did not boil it down to this simple essence.

    Saul Kripke (1975) Outline of a theory of truth
    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Kripke%20-%20Outline%20of%20a%20Theory%20of%20Truth.pdf



    Maybe the issue is that you mind just can't handle the complexities
    of the problem. B
    Like I said point out the specific error that Wittgenstein made (his
    view is identical to mine) or admit that you are simply utterly
    clueless about the deep analysis of these things, you only know them
    by rote.

    Wittgenstein  is quoted on page 6
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel



    Again, he is presupposing that True only means provable.

    His Quote that you highlight:

    'True in Russell's system' means, as was said: proved in Russell's
    system; and 'false in Russell's system' means:the opposite has been
    proved in Russell's system

    is not a correct statement.
    So then what could 'True in Russell's system' mean ???

    You'd have to ask Wittgenstein that.

    You'd also have to ask him why he felt this had any relevance to Gödel's Theorem since Gödel's paper doesn't use the expression 'True in
    Russell's System'. In fact, it does not mention or discuss truth at all.

    As has been pointed out to you, the Wittgenstein quote you are so
    enamoured with was taken from a set of notebooks which were never
    intended for publication. They were essentially Wittgenstein 'thinking
    out loud', and contain both worthwhile ideas which he later expanded
    upon and published as well as half-baked ideas which he clearly came up
    with before his morning coffee.

    We'll never know how Wittgenstein came to view this particular paragraph
    if he later revisited it, but there are two things of which we are
    absolutely certain.

    (1) We know the comment was written *BEFORE* Wittgenstein had actually
    read Gödel's paper, so it was based on some second-hand summary of the
    paper which he had encountered.

    (2) We know that Wittgenstein *DID* eventually read Gödel's paper, and
    that after reading it he did not make any attempt to publish this
    'criticism' of Gödel, nor did he mention it again in any of his known notebooks.

    André


    My view on Gödel is totally summed up by Wittgenstein.
    I formed Wittgenstein's complete view long before I ever heard of him.

    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a comparable
    notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    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...

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
    theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of 𝓣 as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you
    always necessarily end up with truth.

    My view on Gödel is totally summed up by Wittgenstein.
    I formed Wittgenstein's complete view long before I ever heard of him.

    You don't know what Wittgenstein 'complete view' actually was. No one
    other than Wittgenstein knows this.


    Because I formed this same view myself independently of Wittgenstein I
    can say that his quoted words in my paper form a 100% complete rebuttal
    that Gödel found a sentence that is both true and unprovable. It is
    simply unprovable because it is untrue.

    What you are really saying is that you formed some view and then
    interpreted one of Wittgenstein's remarks in terms of that view.

    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a comparable
    notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    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...

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
    theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth
    preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of 𝓣
    as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations
    you always necessarily end up with truth.


    Which has nothing whatsoever to do with Gödel, since his theorem was not concerned with truth and made no mention of truth at all.

    André

    It has everything to do with all undecidable propositions.

    Undecidable propositions are simply not truth bearers in the same way
    that the following sentence is neither true nor false: "What time is it?"

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises known to be true
    (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) are sound, else unsound.

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises are valid, else
    invalid.

    valid reasoning requires conclusions to be a necessary consequence of
    the premises.

    these elementary statements are true for 𝓣. Thus, given 𝓣, an
    elementary theorem is an elementary statement which is true...

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
    theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth
    preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of 𝓣
    as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations
    you always necessarily end up with truth.


    And if YOUR concept of what Truth means doesn't match what someone else
    is using, it doesn't mean you get to force your definition onto their
    work. That a Fallacy And Invalid Logic, i.e. FAIL.


    Truth <is what it is> one either gets this notion correctly or one does
    not. I am correcting the divergence of classical and symbolic logic from correct reasoning.

    One of the fundamental laws of logic is you need to examane a statement
    in the framework it was given in. Your attempts just violate that basic principle.

    This is the problem with your concept of 'First Principles', you need to
    know enough of a system to be able to correctly think in it.

    That is not how first principles reasoning works. With first principles reasoning we toss out everything and start from scratch. The notion of
    truth is the most basic notion of provability.

    {A,B} ⊢ C // is only correct if C is a necessary consequence of {A,B}.
    C can only be correctly derived from {A,B} iff nothing besides truth
    preserving operations are applied to {A,B} to derive C.

    You clearly
    don't understand the meaning of many of the basic concepts, but are INCORRECTLY mapping the words to similar things your thought up, and are
    just assuming they match up. They don't.

    You seemed to have skimmed over some works and learned a bit of
    symbology, and have tried to assign it meaning, but since you really
    don't know the meaning you use it wrong. I don't think you really
    understand what a Computation is (and you comments to what 'computers'
    do reveal that, as Computation Theory predates the Digital Computer). My guess is whatever it is that you are thinking it means has some
    significant difference for the actual meaning.

    I also think you just don't understand the real concept of something
    being actually True.

    You have not been able to show that I have made any actual mistakes.
    The most that you have been able to say is that you believe that I have
    made mistakes.

    Propositional attitudes
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_attitude
    It a whole difference subject that provability and truth.

    Wittgenstein  is quoted on page 6
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333907915_Proof_that_Wittgenstein_is_correct_about_Godel



    Again, he is presupposing that True only means provable.

    His Quote that you highlight:

    'True in Russell's system' means, as was said: proved in
    Russell's system; and 'false in Russell's system' means:the
    opposite has been proved in Russell's system

    is not a correct statement.
    So then what could 'True in Russell's system' mean ???

    You'd have to ask Wittgenstein that.

    You'd also have to ask him why he felt this had any relevance to
    Gödel's Theorem since Gödel's paper doesn't use the expression
    'True in Russell's System'. In fact, it does not mention or discuss
    truth at all.

    As has been pointed out to you, the Wittgenstein quote you are so
    enamoured with was taken from a set of notebooks which were never
    intended for publication. They were essentially Wittgenstein
    'thinking out loud', and contain both worthwhile ideas which he
    later expanded upon and published as well as half-baked ideas which
    he clearly came up with before his morning coffee.

    We'll never know how Wittgenstein came to view this particular
    paragraph if he later revisited it, but there are two things of
    which we are absolutely certain.

    (1) We know the comment was written *BEFORE* Wittgenstein had
    actually read Gödel's paper, so it was based on some second-hand
    summary of the paper which he had encountered.

    (2) We know that Wittgenstein *DID* eventually read Gödel's paper,
    and that after reading it he did not make any attempt to publish
    this 'criticism' of Gödel, nor did he mention it again in any of
    his known notebooks.

    André


    My view on Gödel is totally summed up by Wittgenstein.
    I formed Wittgenstein's complete view long before I ever heard of him.

    You don't know what Wittgenstein 'complete view' actually was. No one
    other than Wittgenstein knows this.


    Because I formed this same view myself independently of Wittgenstein I
    can say that his quoted words in my paper form a 100% complete
    rebuttal that Gödel found a sentence that is both true and unprovable.
    It is simply unprovable because it is untrue.

    It is quite possible for two people to independently reach the same
    wrong conclusion. So the above hardly constitutes an argument.


    It is very easy to see that true and unprovable is impossible once one comprehends the self evident truth regrading how analytic truth itself
    actually works.

    Most people "know" that a statement is true on the basis that someone
    that they trust told them this statement is true. Most people here
    "know" that I must be wrong simply because they trust that Gödel is
    correct.

    What you are really saying is that you formed some view and then
    interpreted one of Wittgenstein's remarks in terms of that view.

    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a
    comparable notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    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...

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary
    theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth
    preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems of
    𝓣 as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations
    you always necessarily end up with truth.


    Which has nothing whatsoever to do with Gödel, since his theorem was
    not concerned with truth and made no mention of truth at all.

    André

    It has everything to do with all undecidable propositions.

    Undecidable propositions are simply not truth bearers

    The above claim is simply false. It is not consistent with the standard definitions of 'undecidable' and 'truth bearer'.

    It is consistent with the way that <truth> really works, thus
    superseding and overriding all of the misconceptions that seem to
    contradict it.


    Moreover, it also doesn't follow from your above claim that "When you
    start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you always necessarily end up with truth." So you're basically presenting a non-sequitur.


    Something that 100% perfectly logically follows is utterly ridiculously characterized as non-sequitur.


    in the same way that the following sentence is neither true nor false: "What time is it?"

    That sentence is not a proposition. Gödels paper is concerned with undecidable *propositions*. And it isn't concerned with natural language
    at all.


    I wanted to make a very clear example of an expression of language that
    very obviously cannot be resolved to true or false. Example form formal language that are not truth bearers are placed in the incorrect category
    of undecidable.

    Flibble is correct in that the reason these things are not properly
    resolved is category error. When one assumes a term-of-the-art
    definition that has hidden incoherence then these terms-of-the-art make
    their own error inexpressible.

    The strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language
    determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine
    cognitive categories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises known to be
    true (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) are sound, else
    unsound.

    Oh dear. You really are confused. You're making numerous category errors above. Soundness is not a property of arguments, not propositions (which
    is what Gödel is concerned with).

    I will use more generic language that has not been overridden idiomatic terms-of-the-art meanings.

    expressions of language that were derived by applying truth preserving operations to expressions of language known to be true necessarily
    derive true expressions of language.

    And 'expressions of formal or natural
    language' don't 'apply truth preserving operations'.


    If I have a cat then I have an animal applies the truth preserving
    operation Is-A-Type_Of(cat, animal) on the basis of a knowledge ontology
    that specifies all of the general knowledge.

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises are valid, else
    invalid.

    That sentence is incoherent.


    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of true
    expressions of language then true expressions of language are derived.

    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of expressions
    of language then logically entailed expressions of language are derived.

    valid reasoning requires conclusions to be a necessary consequence of
    the premises.

    Which is not contradicted by Gödel. He would agree with this.

    André

    The key mistake is that he believes that his sentence is true and
    unprovable which is analogous to a purebred cat that is a kind of dog.

    It has everything to do with all undecidable propositions.

    Undecidable propositions are simply not truth bearers in the same way
    that the following sentence is neither true nor false: "What time is it?"

    Excpet that they are. The Computation H^ applied to <H^> will ALWAYS
    either Halt or Not Halt, and the exact value is determinable for any
    given H if it answers the question H <H^> <H^>.

    Thus it IS a Truth Bearer.


    I had always thought that it behaved like the liar paradox because it
    was essentially modeled after the liar paradox. It was only in recent
    years that I realized that unlike mathematical propositions that just
    sit there, computations have intelligence that can overcome pathological self-reference.

    So in this case you are half right. The halting problem counter-examples
    are truth bearers, yet only because they are decidable.

    The WRONG qustion that isn't a Truth Bearer is what answer can H return,
    but that ISN'T the Question of the Halting Problem.


    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises known to be
    true (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) are sound, else
    unsound.

    Which doesn't imply that all Truth is Provable. Is just says that
    everything that is provable is True.

    synthetic/empirical truth of the world can be true even when there is no
    proof.

    Of the analytic side of the analytic / synthetic distinction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic%E2%80%93synthetic_distinction

    expressions of language that are not provable are untrue because the
    only way that we know they are true is the connected set of semantic
    meanings that prove they are true.


    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises are valid, else
    invalid.

    valid reasoning requires conclusions to be a necessary consequence of
    the premises.



    So. That still doesn't prove your point. It also points out the ERROR in
    your whole arguement, because you always start out with an incorrect
    claim, like H applied to <H^> <H^> isn't responsible for the behavior of
    H^ applied to <H^> when that is EXACT what the definition of a Halt
    Decider says it is responsible for.

    FAIL.

    Every halt decider is a decider. Every decider only maps its inputs to
    an accept or reject states. Every decider does not give a rat's ass
    about non-inputs. embedded_H does not give a rat's ass about Ĥ applied
    to ⟨Ĥ⟩.

    Because I formed this same view myself independently of Wittgenstein
    I can say that his quoted words in my paper form a 100% complete
    rebuttal that Gödel found a sentence that is both true and
    unprovable. It is simply unprovable because it is untrue.

    It is quite possible for two people to independently reach the same
    wrong conclusion. So the above hardly constitutes an argument.


    It is very easy to see that true and unprovable is impossible once one
    comprehends the self evident truth regrading how analytic truth itself
    actually works.

    Which 'self-evident truth' is that?

    The actual knowledge ontology structure of the body of analytic knowledge.

    Note that you have a bad track
    record of assuming that things which are demonstrably false are 'self-evidently true'.


    I do use some terminology somewhat inconsistently with its conventional
    meaning to overcome [strong linguistic determinism] that makes the ideas
    that I need to express otherwise inexpressible.

    strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

    Note also that Gödel was not talking about analytic truth. He was
    talking about theories of arithmetic.

    The body of analytic truth encompasses all of mathematics and logic and
    only excludes knowledge that can only be validated by input from the
    sense organs.

    The analytic/synthetic distinction
    is one made when discussing philosophy of language which deals with
    entirely different questions than arithmetic does.


    The notion of analytic truth is the foundation of all mathematics and
    logic.

    Different fields often use similar terms with subtly different meanings.
    You can't just assume that it is possible to import concepts from one
    field to another.


    If one field overloads the term "true" to include expressions of
    language that are not true, then it errs.


    Most people "know" that a statement is true on the basis that someone
    that they trust told them this statement is true. Most people here
    "know" that I must be wrong simply because they trust that Gödel is
    correct.

    Or, more likely, because they actually read the proof (which you have admitted to not having done) and found it compelling.


    If its conclusion is incorrect then all of the steps can be ignored.

    What you are really saying is that you formed some view and then
    interpreted one of Wittgenstein's remarks in terms of that view.

    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a
    comparable notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    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... >>>>>>
    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's elementary >>>>>> theorems of 𝓣 and statements of 𝓣 derived by applying truth
    preserving operations beginning with Curry's elementary theorems
    of 𝓣 as premises.

    When you start with truth and only apply truth preserving
    operations you always necessarily end up with truth.


    Which has nothing whatsoever to do with Gödel, since his theorem
    was not concerned with truth and made no mention of truth at all.

    André

    It has everything to do with all undecidable propositions.

    Undecidable propositions are simply not truth bearers

    The above claim is simply false. It is not consistent with the
    standard definitions of 'undecidable' and 'truth bearer'.

    It is consistent with the way that <truth> really works, thus
    superseding and overriding all of the misconceptions that seem to
    contradict it.

    I have no reason to believe that you have any understanding of how truth 'really works'.


    Analytic truth is nothing more that a semantically connected set of
    expressions of language each one known to be true.


    Moreover, it also doesn't follow from your above claim that "When you
    start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you
    always necessarily end up with truth." So you're basically presenting
    a non-sequitur.


    Something that 100% perfectly logically follows is utterly
    ridiculously characterized as non-sequitur.

    If you think the latter follows from the former you then you need a
    course in remedial logic.

    If you start with expressions of language that are known to be true
    (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) and only apply truth
    preserving operations you don't end up with peanut butter.


    in the same way that the following sentence is neither true nor
    false:
    "What time is it?"

    That sentence is not a proposition. Gödels paper is concerned with
    undecidable *propositions*. And it isn't concerned with natural
    language at all.


    I wanted to make a very clear example of an expression of language
    that very obviously cannot be resolved to true or false. Example form
    formal language that are not truth bearers are placed in the incorrect
    category of undecidable.

    There is no category in formal systems analogous to interrogatives.

    There is one yet not one that you are aware of.

    This is not my idea:
    Questions are merely propositions with a missing piece.

    You seem to not grasp the distinction between ontology and epistemology. Whether we can *determine* whether a statement is true or false is an epistemological issue which has no bearing at all on whether the
    statement actually *is* true or false.


    In computer science and information science, an ontology encompasses a representation, formal naming, and definition of the categories,
    properties, and relations between the concepts, data, and entities that substantiate one, many, or all domains of discourse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)

    Flibble is correct in that the reason these things are not properly
    resolved is category error. When one assumes a term-of-the-art
    definition that has hidden incoherence then these terms-of-the-art
    make their own error inexpressible.

    The strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language
    determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine
    cognitive categories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

    Both a mischaracterization and utterly irrelevant.


    A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ such
    that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

    The above simply ignores the case where a syntactically correct
    expression of a formal language is unprovable simply because at the
    semantic level it is self-contradictory.

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises known to be
    true (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) are sound, else
    unsound.

    Oh dear. You really are confused. You're making numerous category
    errors above. Soundness is not a property of arguments, not
    propositions (which is what Gödel is concerned with).

    I will use more generic language that has not been overridden
    idiomatic terms-of-the-art meanings.

    expressions of language that were derived by applying truth preserving
    operations to expressions of language known to be true necessarily
    derive true expressions of language.

    And 'expressions of formal or natural language' don't 'apply truth
    preserving operations'.


    If I have a cat then I have an animal applies the truth preserving
    operation Is-A-Type_Of(cat, animal) on the basis of a knowledge
    ontology that specifies all of the general knowledge.

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only truth
    preserving operations beginning with a set of premises are valid,
    else invalid.

    That sentence is incoherent.


    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of true
    expressions of language then true expressions of language are derived.

    If one starts with true premises and uses valid deductive rules one is guaranteed to arrive at true conclusions.
    That does *NOT* entail that
    every true statement can be derived from some set of axioms using valid deductive rules.


    For the body of analytic knowledge that includes all of mathematics and
    logic an expression of language is true if:
    (1) It is stipulated to be true like Curry's elementary theorems
    (2) It is derived from applying truth preserving operations to (1) or (2).

    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of
    expressions of language then logically entailed expressions of
    language are derived.

    valid reasoning requires conclusions to be a necessary consequence
    of the premises.

    Which is not contradicted by Gödel. He would agree with this.

    André

    The key mistake is that he believes that his sentence is true and
    unprovable which is analogous to a purebred cat that is a kind of dog.

    Gödel makes no claims at all about the truth or falsehood of Gödel sentences.

    André


    He says that it is true that G is unprovable. The only way that we can
    know that G is unprovable is by a proof that G is unprovable, hence
    proving that G is provable.

    It really is the case that an expression of language that is neither
    provable nor refutable is not an element of the body of analytic truth.

    Note also that Gödel was not talking about analytic truth. He was
    talking about theories of arithmetic.

    The body of analytic truth encompasses all of mathematics and logic
    and only excludes knowledge that can only be validated by input from
    the sense organs.

    Then it needs to handle the fact that not all truths are provable.

    Otherwise, you need to PROVE your statement without assuming it.

    You still haven't answered the challenge of 3x+1, that one of the
    statements MUST be true, but neither might be provable.


    The analytic/synthetic distinction is one made when discussing
    philosophy of language which deals with entirely different questions
    than arithmetic does.

    No, the notion of analytic PROOF is the foundation of mathematics.

    WRONG, if a field overloads the term True to exclude expressions that
    are clearly True, then it errs.

    You conflate True with Known.

    If an expression of language in the body of analytic truth is true then
    a proof of its truth exists even if this proof is currently unknown.



    Most people "know" that a statement is true on the basis that
    someone that they trust told them this statement is true. Most
    people here "know" that I must be wrong simply because they trust
    that Gödel is correct.

    Or, more likely, because they actually read the proof (which you have
    admitted to not having done) and found it compelling.


    If its conclusion is incorrect then all of the steps can be ignored.

    No, if a conclusion SEEMS incorrect, you need to see how to actually
    disprove it, or YOU need to worry that you logic system has gone
    inconsistent (which I strongly suspect it has).


    If a proof derives that conclusion that some dogs are cats then we can
    ignore the steps and reject the proof. If a proof claims that there are specific instances of analytic truths that cannot possibly be proven
    this is the same as the prior example.

    If you claim the 'right' answer is to just ignore a seeming valid proof
    that you find goes against your believes, then by the logic, we can just
    say that YOUR theory is wrong and we get to just ignore you and just say
    you are wrong.


    Any proof that does not apply truth preserving operations to expressions
    of language deriving necessary consequences is incorrect.

    I am reformulating logic so that it becomes perfectly and consistently a
    system of correct reasoning.

    Do you agree to that?

    Analytic truth is nothing more that a semantically connected set of

    Then Analytic Truth is a sub-set of Truth. Just like the set of black
    cats doesn't contain all cats.


    Yes it is yet it encompasses all of mathematics and logic.
    It only excludes those things that rely on sense data from the sense
    organs to be validated. All cats are animals is analytic. There is no

    Nope, you are PRESUMING a wrong definition of True. You are stating was
    is PROVABLE or KNOWN, not what is True.

    This only applies to the body of analytic truth.
    In this case unprovable means untrue.

    The entire body of analytic truth is verified as true entirely on the
    basis of the meaning of its expressions of language. It is really
    nothing more than a complex set of interconnected true statements.

    Yes, items that are True but unproven are not part of the Body of
    analytic knowledge, but knowledge is NOT a limitation of Truth.


    All of mathematics and logic is 100% analytic and 0% synthetic.
    every expression of language that does not depend on confirmation from

    True.


    Every expression of language in the body of analytic truth that cannot
    possibly be proved or refuted is simply not a member of the body of
    analytic truth.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture is not currently
    excluded from this body, we just don't currently know its answer.

    Again, one of the statements about the 3*x+1 sequence is true, by
    definition, but we have not proven it. Thus while we don't know the
    answer, we know that one of the sentence MUST be True, thus we know the existance of a set of sentences, one of which MUST be true, but none of
    which are proven.

    THAT is a piece of Knowledge.

    If it insists that All Truth is Provable, it does NOT. That is what
    Godel proved.

    All Truth is provable his sentence simply was not true.


    Godel sentence is an actual Truth Bearing Statement, just like the pair
    of statements of the 3x+1 problem.

    Statement P must be True or it is False.

    That is a false assumption.

    If statement P is True, then by
    its statement P is Unprovable, and thus no proof of it can exist.

    If Statement P is false, then its converse is true, that that means that
    P must be Provable. But it P is Provable, then either P must be True, or
    the logic system has gone inconsistent.

    Thus, we MUST conclude that P is unprovable, and thus some truths are
    not provable.


    there is also a close relationship with the “liar” antinomy,14 ...
    We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability.15 ...
    14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof. (Gödel:1931:40)

    These two self contradictory sentences are isomorphic:
    This sentence is not true.
    This sentence is not provable.

    If you think the latter follows from the former you then you need a
    course in remedial logic.

    If you start with expressions of language that are known to be true
    (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) and only apply truth
    preserving operations you don't end up with peanut butter.

    But you also do get you all Truths.

    You get the entire body of analytic truth.

    You still are missing the fact that while analysis can show you what is provable, and thus many things that are True, it has been shown that
    there exists Truths that can not be proven. And that Mathematics
    includes such Truths.


    A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ such
    that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

    This is simply a misconception that comes from stripping semantics away
    from classical and symbolic logic relative to Aristotle's syllogism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism#Basic_structure

    The above sentence defines the notion of incomplete never realizing that
    some sentences are neither provable nor unprovable only because they are self-contradictory.

    there is also a close relationship with the “liar” antinomy,14 ...
    We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability.15 ...
    14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof. (Gödel:1931:40)

    These two self contradictory sentences are isomorphic:
    This sentence is not true.
    This sentence is not provable.






    in the same way that the following sentence is neither true
    nor false:
    "What time is it?"

    That sentence is not a proposition. Gödels paper is concerned
    with undecidable *propositions*. And it isn't concerned with
    natural language at all.


    I wanted to make a very clear example of an expression of language >>>>>> that very obviously cannot be resolved to true or false. Example
    form formal language that are not truth bearers are placed in the
    incorrect category of undecidable.

    There is no category in formal systems analogous to interrogatives.

    There is one yet not one that you are aware of.

    This is not my idea:
    Questions are merely propositions with a missing piece.

    You seem to not grasp the distinction between ontology and
    epistemology. Whether we can *determine* whether a statement is
    true or false is an epistemological issue which has no bearing at
    all on whether the statement actually *is* true or false.


    In computer science and information science, an ontology encompasses
    a representation, formal naming, and definition of the categories,
    properties, and relations between the concepts, data, and entities
    that substantiate one, many, or all domains of discourse.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)

    Flibble is correct in that the reason these things are not
    properly resolved is category error. When one assumes a
    term-of-the-art definition that has hidden incoherence then these
    terms-of-the-art make their own error inexpressible.

    The strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language
    determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and
    determine cognitive categories.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

    Both a mischaracterization and utterly irrelevant.


    A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ
    such that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

    The above simply ignores the case where a syntactically correct
    expression of a formal language is unprovable simply because at the
    semantic level it is self-contradictory.

    Except the problem in question is NOT self-contradictory, which you
    don't understand.


    "This sentence is not true" is indeed not true yet this does not make
    it true because it is self-contradictory.

    But that is NOT the Godel Sentence.

    Gödel says that it is close enough:

    there is also a close relationship with the “liar” antinomy,14 ...
    We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability.15 ...
    14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof. (Gödel:1931:40)

    He also says that even the liar paradox derives his same results.


    "This sentence is not provable" is indeed not provable yet this does
    not make it provable because it is self-contradictory.

    It is NOT self-contradictory unless you have mistakenly assumed that
    Truth is Provable. That is your flaw.


    In the entire body of analytic body of analytic truth we only know that
    an expression of language is true:
    (1) Like Curry elementary theorems it is stipulated to be true.
    (2) It is derived by applying truth preserving operations of (1) or (2).

    Try and find any natural language exception to this rule.
    A cat is an animal because this relation is stipulated to be true.
    A dog is not a cat because it has properties that cats do not have.

    Yes, if you start with an assumption that Truth must be provable, then
    you can say that the sentence is not a Truth Bearer, but then you also
    can not express the whole of mathematics in a consistent logic system.

    Actually you would have corrected the erroneous divergence of classical
    logic and symbolic logic from correct reasoning.

    THAT is the proof of Godel, as his proof is actually the establishment
    that the sentence IS a Truth-Bearer by the rules of Mathematics.


    When you strip away every aspect of semantics from formal logic then self-contradiction becomes invisible.


    Halting( H^ applied to <H^>) HAS a correct answer, so the question is
    NOT self-contradictory.

    H just can't give that answer, because it uses a copy of H.


    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only
    truth preserving operations beginning with a set of premises
    known to be true (such as Haskell Curry's elementary theorems) >>>>>>>> are sound, else unsound.

    Oh dear. You really are confused. You're making numerous category >>>>>>> errors above. Soundness is not a property of arguments, not
    propositions (which is what Gödel is concerned with).

    I will use more generic language that has not been overridden
    idiomatic terms-of-the-art meanings.

    expressions of language that were derived by applying truth
    preserving operations to expressions of language known to be true
    necessarily derive true expressions of language.

    And 'expressions of formal or natural language' don't 'apply
    truth preserving operations'.


    If I have a cat then I have an animal applies the truth preserving >>>>>> operation Is-A-Type_Of(cat, animal) on the basis of a knowledge
    ontology that specifies all of the general knowledge.

    All expressions of formal or natural language that apply only
    truth preserving operations beginning with a set of premises are >>>>>>>> valid, else invalid.

    That sentence is incoherent.


    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of true
    expressions of language then true expressions of language are
    derived.

    If one starts with true premises and uses valid deductive rules one
    is guaranteed to arrive at true conclusions. That does *NOT* entail
    that every true statement can be derived from some set of axioms
    using valid deductive rules.


    For the body of analytic knowledge that includes all of mathematics
    and logic an expression of language is true if:
    (1) It is stipulated to be true like Curry's elementary theorems
    (2) It is derived from applying truth preserving operations to (1)
    or (2).

    Nope, you are PRESUMING a wrong definition of True. You are stating
    was is PROVABLE or KNOWN, not what is True.

    This only applies to the body of analytic truth.
    In this case unprovable means untrue.


    And you 'anaytic truth' thus either can't handle the concepts of
    Mathematics or is inconsistent.


    A theory T is incomplete if and only if there is some sentence φ such
    that (T ⊬ φ) and (T ⊬ ¬φ).

    Correct analytical reasoning has the discernment to reject expressions
    of language that have no connection to the body of true sentences.

    The body of analytic truth is true sentences that are connected together semantically. When one makes sure to ignore semantics one utterly
    abandons a mandatory criterion measure. This is where misconceptions
    such as "incompleteness" arise.


    The entire body of analytic truth is verified as true entirely on the
    basis of the meaning of its expressions of language. It is really
    nothing more than a complex set of interconnected true statements.

    It may be all verified as True, but it can not verify that it has proven everything that is actually True as being Proven.


    Try and find any natural counter-example of any expression of language
    that is known to be true on the basis of its meaning that is neither
    stipulated as true nor derived by applying truth preserving operations.


    Yes, items that are True but unproven are not part of the Body of
    analytic knowledge, but knowledge is NOT a limitation of Truth.


    All of mathematics and logic is 100% analytic and 0% synthetic.
    every expression of language that does not depend on confirmation from
    sense data from the sense organs is analytic.


    Then is the Godel Sentence True (and thus unprovable) or is it False,
    and thus P is Provable and thus True?


    This sentence is not true.
    Is indeed not true, yet that does not make it true.

    That or you need to find the actual flaw in the logic where he shows the sentence is a Truth Bearer as being a simple statement of Mathematics.


    The body of analytical truth rules over its constituent parts such as mathematics and logic.

    Proving an Proven Conclusion as False does not by itself negate the
    Proof, all it does is indicate that one of the proofs must be incorrect,
    or the logic system is inconsistent.


    Gödel's proof derives an incorrect conclusion therefore it is incorrect.



    If one applies only truth preserving operations to a set of
    expressions of language then logically entailed expressions of
    language are derived.

    valid reasoning requires conclusions to be a necessary
    consequence of the premises.

    Which is not contradicted by Gödel. He would agree with this.

    André

    The key mistake is that he believes that his sentence is true and
    unprovable which is analogous to a purebred cat that is a kind of
    dog.

    Gödel makes no claims at all about the truth or falsehood of Gödel >>>>> sentences.

    André


    He says that it is true that G is unprovable. The only way that we
    can know that G is unprovable is by a proof that G is unprovable,
    hence proving that G is provable.


    Nope, you make the mistake that we need to KNOW something for it to
    be True.


    Every expression of language in the body of analytic truth that cannot
    possibly be proved or refuted is simply not a member of the body of
    analytic truth.

    But it still might be Truth.

    If it can be known to be true or false on the basis of its meaning (AKA analytic versus synthetic) and its meaning does not prove that it is
    true then it is not a member of the body of analytic truth.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture is not currently
    excluded from this body, we just don't currently know its answer.

    Can you actually make that claim? If that is a True Statement, then you
    must be able to PROVE it.

    If it is a true statement then its proof exists even if no one knows
    what this proof is.

    This is one of the limitation of the logic
    system that require Truth to be Provable, they have a hard time talking
    about what they might know, as it can be as hard to prove that something
    is actually probable or refutable as it is to actually prove or refute it.


    Again, one of the statements about the 3*x+1 sequence is true, by

    When you leave all of its details out it remains simply gibberish.

    definition, but we have not proven it. Thus while we don't know the
    answer, we know that one of the sentence MUST be True, thus we know
    the existance of a set of sentences, one of which MUST be true, but
    none of which are proven.

    THAT is a piece of Knowledge.


    Only analytic expressions of language that are impossible to prove or
    refute are rejected as not truth bearers.

    Because I formed this same view myself independently of
    Wittgenstein I can say that his quoted words in my paper form a
    100% complete rebuttal that Gödel found a sentence that is both
    true and unprovable. It is simply unprovable because it is untrue.

    It is quite possible for two people to independently reach the same
    wrong conclusion. So the above hardly constitutes an argument.


    It is very easy to see that true and unprovable is impossible once
    one comprehends the self evident truth regrading how analytic truth
    itself actually works.

    Which 'self-evident truth' is that?

    The actual knowledge ontology structure of the body of analytic
    knowledge.

    Note that you have a bad track record of assuming that things which
    are demonstrably false are 'self-evidently true'.


    I do use some terminology somewhat inconsistently with its
    conventional meaning to overcome [strong linguistic determinism] that
    makes the ideas that I need to express otherwise inexpressible.

    Maybe you need to MISUSE terms because the ideas you have are not just otherwise inexpressible but actually IMPOSSIBLE (or incompatible with
    the field you are trying to work in).


    strong version, or linguistic determinism, says that language
    determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine
    cognitive categories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

    And maybe you should look at the fact that you can't use the terms
    correctly means that your world view doesn't match the reality of the
    field.


    Note also that Gödel was not talking about analytic truth. He was
    talking about theories of arithmetic.

    The body of analytic truth encompasses all of mathematics and logic
    and only excludes knowledge that can only be validated by input from
    the sense organs.

    Then it needs to handle the fact that not all truths are provable.

    Otherwise, you need to PROVE your statement without assuming it.

    You still haven't answered the challenge of 3x+1, that one of the
    statements MUST be true, but neither might be provable.


    The analytic/synthetic distinction is one made when discussing
    philosophy of language which deals with entirely different questions
    than arithmetic does.


    The notion of analytic truth is the foundation of all mathematics and
    logic.

    No, the notion of analytic PROOF is the foundation of mathematics.


    Different fields often use similar terms with subtly different
    meanings. You can't just assume that it is possible to import
    concepts from one field to another.


    If one field overloads the term "true" to include expressions of
    language that are not true, then it errs.

    WRONG, if a field overloads the term True to exclude expressions that
    are clearly True, then it errs.

    You conflate True with Known.



    Most people "know" that a statement is true on the basis that
    someone that they trust told them this statement is true. Most
    people here "know" that I must be wrong simply because they trust
    that Gödel is correct.

    Or, more likely, because they actually read the proof (which you have
    admitted to not having done) and found it compelling.


    If its conclusion is incorrect then all of the steps can be ignored.

    No, if a conclusion SEEMS incorrect, you need to see how to actually
    disprove it, or YOU need to worry that you logic system has gone
    inconsistent (which I strongly suspect it has).

    If you claim the 'right' answer is to just ignore a seeming valid proof
    that you find goes against your believes, then by the logic, we can just
    say that YOUR theory is wrong and we get to just ignore you and just say
    you are wrong.

    Do you agree to that?


    What you are really saying is that you formed some view and then >>>>>>> interpreted one of Wittgenstein's remarks in terms of that view. >>>>>>>
    Note that Haskell Curry is quoted before Wittgenstein has a
    comparable notion of what "true in a formal system" means.

    Olcott's true in a formal system 𝓣 is exactly Curry's

    André

    It has everything to do with all undecidable propositions.

    Undecidable propositions are simply not truth bearers

    The above claim is simply false. It is not consistent with the
    standard definitions of 'undecidable' and 'truth bearer'.

    It is consistent with the way that <truth> really works, thus
    superseding and overriding all of the misconceptions that seem to
    contradict it.

    I have no reason to believe that you have any understanding of how
    truth 'really works'.


    Analytic truth is nothing more that a semantically connected set of
    expressions of language each one known to be true.

    Then Analytic Truth is a sub-set of Truth. Just like the set of black
    cats doesn't contain all cats.



    Moreover, it also doesn't follow from your above claim that "When
    you start with truth and only apply truth preserving operations you
    always necessarily end up with truth." So you're basically
    presenting a non-sequitur.

    The way that analytic truth actually works in the body of analytic
