what the fuck does this have to do with arithmetic? It’s not even talking about numbers. Show me the axioms and laws of inference that allow such a statement to make sense in a formal system concerned with arithmetic. I call bullshit.

you yourself don’t understand it. This is just an appeal to authority. Yeah I’m not gonna study formal logic and advanced math to get through 10 pages of autistic notation for something that’s bullshit. Self-referential statements are retarded, that’s the only thing Gödel proved.

ok so tell me what string of numbers represents “this” and “proof” and “theorem”
Just because each symbol is linked to some number by a code he invented doesn’t mean anything. Numbers don’t talk about themselves.

This is incorrect. What he said was given a set of axioms there will exists some theorems that cannot be proven. It says nothing about *which* theorems those will be. You can't know beforehand.

Just read the original paper. The point isn’t to give meaning to some numbers. The point is to provide a one-to-one function between mathematical statements and natural numbers so that one may the properties of the latter to work with the former.
>Just because each symbol is linked to some number by a code he invented doesn’t mean anything.
It doesn’t on its own. But if it’s a bijection, one can always map the results from numbers to statements.

Here’s the problem: not every number maps to a wff. The number with Gödel number G doesn’t map to a statement that is related to math. It’s an empty, self-referential statement that cannot be defined by the axioms or definitions of a typical formal system. The only thing we’ve proved is that self-reference is retarded

Correct.

Yes it does. It maps to a wff that's an explicit statement about the natural numbers.
>It’s an empty, self-referential statement
Self reference is not well defined mathematically. It's an explicit statement about the natural numbers like any other.

It maps to a mathematical statement ie some string of logic symbols. Whether that string has something to do with Euclidean geometry or is just pointless gibberish doesn’t matter. It’s still a perfectly valid statement following all the rules of mathematical statement.

A string of symbols isn’t necessarily “valid.” It’s neither true nor false. It’s meaningless. There’s no reason to bring this up unless you think the Gödel sentence is meaningless, which would just be agreeing with me.

That’s not at all what makes a statement valid. If a statement is consistent with the rules of mathematical logic, then it is valid. You are turning a very simple deductive set of arguments into meaningless semantics.

If you read further, he talks about the Gödel number of a Gödel number. So when he says x = Y, he’s saying that y = GN(GN(x))
And his point is that Gödel is conflating the language of the formal system with the meta-language

>>16435761
yeah the section "The Gödel number of a Gödel number" is absolutely retarded
The third term in Subs(x,v,Z(x)) is not "GN(GN(X))". This guy is correct that this is an ill-typed expression, since GN(X) is a number and GN takes formal expressions as values. Gödel doesn't consider GN(GN(X)), he considers GN(t) for a specific formal expression t. The formal expression t is GN(X) many S's followed by a "0".
I can't tell whether the author doesn't understand this, or if he's like "I know that Godel is actually plugging in the formal term and not the number itself, but he can't do this because... HE JUST CAN'T OK":
>Now, while one could force the formats for numbers to be the same in both systems, that would not somehow magically make the conflation of meta-language and sub-language logically valid. in short, that would be a fudge that should fool no-one. The entire notion of Gödel numbering is that, for every relationship between expressions A and B of the formal system there is a corresponding relation between numbers a and b, where a = GN(A) and b = GN(B) (and similarly for more than two expressions). But Gödel’s construction is an illogical distortion of the correspondence between formal system expressions and Gödel numbers.

Here is a challenge to you:
Re-write G using only the language of the formal system, and determine an exact formula for calculating the Gödel number of G. For convenience you can type “sss…sss0” but you can’t use notation like “Sb” or “Prov” or “Dem(x,y)”

I'll write out G if you write out the formula defining the function

using only the formal notation of the language. Since the expression for G will use this formula, this is much less of an ask for you than yours is for me.

Are you seriously asking me to do the hardest part for you? Lol.
It shouldn’t be difficult for you to write as much of the statement as you can, and then explain why you can’t write out the rest. In the case of “sss…ss0” the answer is that there are too many symbols to list. But we at least understand what you’re trying to convey. You should be able to do the same for the whole expression, if not write it in its entirety.

You haven’t explained exactly what’s so hard about it. I understand that you can’t write so many s characters. You haven’t explained what’s so hard about constructing the rest of the statement. I think it’s because you simply don’t understand even a vague idea of what the statement looks like in the formal system. You rely on the meta-language to even make sense of it.

Your task is very simple. All you have to do is write out the statement using as much of the formal language as you can, then explain why you can’t write out certain parts in the formal language. You should be able to explain precisely what it would look like even if you aren’t able to write down each symbol. You keep deflecting for some reason so this is the last time I’ll ask you to make an attempt.
