Gödel's and first
Note that " completeness " has a different meaning here than it does in the context of Gödel's first incompleteness theorem, which states that no recursive, consistent set of non-logical axioms of the Theory of Arithmetic is complete, in the sense that there will always exist an arithmetic statement such that neither nor can be proved from the given set of axioms.
For a first order predicate calculus, with no (" proper ") axioms, Gödel's completeness theorem states that the theorems ( provable statements ) are exactly the logically valid well-formed formulas, so identifying valid formulas is recursively enumerable: given unbounded resources, any valid formula can eventually be proven.
The first version of the ontological proof in Gödel's papers is dated " around 1941 ".
Gödel's first incompleteness theorem showed that Principia could not be both consistent and complete.
Gödel's first incompleteness theorem shows that for languages sufficient for doing a certain amount of arithmetic, there can be no effective deductive system that is complete with respect to the intended interpretation of the symbolism of that language.
The most famous examples are perhaps Russell's paradox, the first of Gödel's incompleteness theorems, and Turing's answer to the Entscheidungsproblem.
Gödel's first incompleteness theorem shows that any consistent effective formal system that includes enough of the theory of the natural numbers is incomplete: there are true statements expressible in its language that are unprovable.
" Gödel's reformulation of Gentzen's first consistency proof of arithmetic: the no-counterexample interpretation.
There are three articles centered on the Lisp programming language, where Hofstadter first details the language itself, and then shows how it relates to Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
Kurt Gödel's seminal work on proof theory first advanced, then refuted this program: his completeness theorem initially seemed to bode well for Hilbert's aim of reducing all mathematics to a finitist formal system ; then his incompleteness theorems showed that this is unattainable.
# For any logical system L a sufficiently skilled mathematical logician ( equipped with a sufficiently powerful computer if necessary ) can construct some statements T ( L ) which are true but unprovable in L. ( This follows from Gödel's first theorem.
Mendelson ( 1997, p. 204 ) believes that Carnap was the first to state that something like the diagonal lemma was implicit in Gödel's reasoning.
* Proof of the semantic completeness of first order predicate logic ( Gödel's completeness theorem 1930 )
* Gödel's first incompleteness theorem 1931
If one is to use Gödel's technique to prove the proposition that T cannot prove, one must first prove ( the mathematical statement representing ) the consistency of T, a daunting and perhaps impossible task.
In 1936, he proved Rosser's trick, a stronger version of Gödel's first incompleteness theorem which shows that the requirement for ω-consistency may be weakened to consistency.
In his first book on consciousness, The Emperor's New Mind ( 1989 ), Penrose made Gödel's theorem the basis of what quickly became an intensely controversial claim.
In recent years, pseudomathematicians have devoted their energies to disproving Gödel's second incompleteness theorem ( efforts that fall in the first category mentioned above ) and to proving Fermat's Last Theorem or the Riemann hypothesis using elementary mathematical techniques ( second category ).
In it she showed that the theory of the rational numbers was undecidable by showing that elementary number theory could be defined in terms of the rationals, and elementary number theory was already known to be undecidable ( this is Gödel's first Incompleteness Theorem ).
In Gödel's first result he showed how to construct, for any sufficiently powerful and consistent finitely axiomatizable system — such as necessary to axiomatize the elementary theory of arithmetic — a statement that can be shown to be true, but that does not follow from the rules of the system.
The main results established are Gödel's first and second incompleteness theorems, which have had an enormous impact on the field of mathematical logic.

Gödel's and incompleteness
The notion of the Kolmogorov complexity can be used to state and prove impossibility results akin to Gödel's incompleteness theorem and Turing's halting problem.
In mathematics, a Gödel code was the basis for the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
This incompleteness result is similar to Gödel's incompleteness theorem in that it shows that no consistent formal theory for arithmetic can be complete.
Gödel's second incompleteness theorem, proved in 1931, showed that this was not possible – at least not within arithmetic itself.
The prototypical example of this abstract notion is the self-referential structure at the core of Gödel's incompleteness theorems.
The work of both authors was heavily influenced by Kurt Gödel's earlier work on his incompleteness theorem, especially by the method of assigning numbers ( a Gödel numbering ) to logical formulas in order to reduce logic to arithmetic.
Gödel's incompleteness theorem, another celebrated result, shows that there are inherent limitations in what can be achieved with formal proofs in mathematics.

Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two fundamental theorems of mathematical logic which state inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems for mathematics.
However, in the 1930s Gödel's incompleteness theorems convinced many mathematicians that mathematics cannot be reduced to logic alone, and Karl Popper concluded that " most mathematical theories are, like those of physics and biology, hypothetico-deductive: pure mathematics therefore turns out to be much closer to the natural sciences whose hypotheses are conjectures, than it seemed even recently.
Gödel's incompleteness theorem marks not only a milestone in recursion theory and proof theory, but has also led to Löb's theorem in modal logic.
Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, published in 1979, discusses the ideas of self-reference and strange loops, drawing on a wide range of artistic and scientific work, including the art of M. C. Escher and the music of J. S. Bach, to illustrate ideas behind Gödel's incompleteness theorems.
By Gödel's incompleteness theorem, Peano arithmetic is incomplete and its consistency is not internally provable.
Gödel's incompleteness theorems cast unexpected light on these two related questions.
Gödel's second incompleteness theorem ( 1931 ) shows that no formal system extending basic arithmetic can be used to prove its own consistency.
In addition, from at least the time of Hilbert's program at the turn of the twentieth century to the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorems and the development of the Church-Turing thesis in the early part of that century, true statements in mathematics were generally assumed to be those statements which are provable in a formal axiomatic system.
A number of scholars claim that Gödel's incompleteness theorem proves that any attempt to construct a ToE is bound to fail.
The actual notion of computation was isolated soon after, starting with Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
Gödel's incompleteness theorem shows that no consistent, recursively enumerable theory ( that is, one whose theorems form a recursively enumerable set ) in which the concept of natural numbers can be expressed, can include all true statements about them.
