But the infinte number of steps DO show that G is true in PA, because is 
shows that EVERY Natural Number fails to meet the requirment.

YOu don't seem to be understanding the English, I think your brainwashed 
filter is just clogged.

Right, Just like they showed that G is true.

No, "Proofs" can not have an infinite number of steps, proofs are ALWAYS 
finite in conventional logic.

Nope, since the rules of math are the same, it must also be true in PA.

I guess you think that just because 2+3 = 5 in one system with normal 
mathematics, in another system with the exact same rules for mathematics 
then 2 + 3 might be 6.

But the base truthmakers for G in MM and PA are the same items, there is 
just a short cut in MM to let us colapse the infinte chain to a finite 
chain.

Those based truthmakers are that when we access every number, none of 
them will satisfy the PRR. It is just that in MM, we know something new 
about those models.
