Again, you are introducing your very own, private, "slightly higher
level of abstraction".  And then hand-waving a single property of the
differences without ever defining them.

"Provability" is a property of formulas within a formal system.  "Truth"
is not.  There is nothing in the classical definition of formal system
that refers to truth.

Godel operated entirely within a formal system for most of his Incompleteness
Theorem proof. He was able, *within the formal system*, to come up with
a self-referential formula stating that no proof of that formula exists
within the formal system.

This self-referentiality is not a language trick, like the liar's paradox is.
It is derivable in any formal system of sufficient power (and a couple of
other restrictions like enumerable axioms.)

If you want a layman's idea of how it is accomplished, I just ran across
https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-godels-incompleteness-theorems-work-20200714/

It is certainly not a full explanation (there are reasons why a full proof
of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem take most of a semester of a graduate
level mathematical logic course!), but it does a reasonable job at getting
at the gist of the self-referentiality (the comments address at least one
major hole.)

Once you have that such a formula exists, then you can start
considering truth, in whatever model you want. In any consistent model
that formula has to be true.  Thus we have a true formula in the model
which does not have a proof in the formal system.

Succinct way to show that true and unprovable cannot possibly coexist:
There is no way to show that formula φ of theory T is satisfied in T 
that does not require a mathematical mapping from φ through the axioms 
and rules-of-inference of T to an element of the set of {true, false}.

No, he doesn't know that, because it is rubbish.

To an astronomer, nitrogen is a metal. Is that wrong because 
astronomical usage differs from colloquial usage? Of course not.

To a mathematician, a ring is a type algebraic structure which has two 
operators with certain properties. That has absolutely nothing to do 
with the colloquial meaning. Does that make it a misnomer? of course not.

When physicists refer to quarks as strange or charm, or red or blue or 
green, these terms obviously have no relation to their colloquial 
meanings. So what?

Not all carnivores are carnivores. Nor are all carnivores carnivores. 
That's because the word means two entirely different things. Is that a 
problem? No.

It's been awhile but my memory might be working. Let's first look at 
what a "fixed" use of commutativity might look like: 1+2 = 2+1 expressed 
as S0 + SS0 = SS0 + S0, where "s" is the successor function and "0" is a 
constant given by the axioms. This can be proven in Robinson (R) and so 
can ANY other fixed example. What you can not prove is the combined version:
    forall x in I forall y in I x+y = y+x
Since you can prove each instance, within R, there will be no model 
where commutativity does not hold, i.e, where
   there exist x in I there exist y in I x+y ~= y+x
can be demonstrated. If we endow R with an appropriate induction axiom, 
we can prove commutativity within R. There is no extension to R that can 
make commutativity false and the extension consistent. There are many 
properties of number like systems where all individual examples can be 
proven but the combined property cannot.

The above example is very instructive: a formal system besides syntax 
rules must have proof rules as we all keep saying. Here we can extend R 
to be commutative in at least two ways: 1) make it an axiom of R or 2) 
adopt an appropriate induction rule a proof rule.

Now let's make an observation: R is incomplete because it can't prove 
something that is true in it. Of course you can't prove its false 
either. In this example, you can prove commutativity is true by using 
the power of the meta logic which will have some sort of induction 
equivalent available.

Let's look at another case floating through these discussions or 
corrective lectures to a poor student. Consider Euclid with the standard 
four postulates P1, P2, P3. P4 plus a bunch of definitions and the 
axioms of measure - sort of the real numbers. We know that P5, the 
parallel postulate, can be added and so could its negation. In other 
words we know that there can be zero, one, or more lines through a point 
(not on another line) that do not intersect that other line. In this 
case we don't bother to say that P1, P2, P3, P4 are not complete; rather 
we make the much more powerful statement that P5 is INDEPENDENT of basic 
Euclid. This is in the same way that the axiom of choice is independent 
of the rest of basic set theory.

(Apparently Robinson Arithmetic is usually called Q, not R.)

So Q can't prove that addition is commutative, but Q+induction
can, yes?

I wonder if a system in which induction specifically *doesn't* work,
such as Q+¬induction, so that a statement that would be true in
Q+induction might be provably false, could be made to work.

But I digress.

That makes sense.  So the relationship between Q and the
commutativity of addition is fundamentally different from the
relationship between Euclid-P5 (Euclid without the parallel
postulate) and P5.  The former is true but unprovable in Q,
but P5 can consistently be made either true or false in a system
built on top of Euclid-P5.  (But if we could create a system like
Q+¬induction, they might be more similar.  It seems difficult to
think about such as system.)

Recall, we can't prove commutativity in R|Q period. However, our meta 
logic can do the proof because it provides additional mechanisms. Let's 
look at a Peano-like induction rule where I is the integers and S is the 
successor function: If Z subset-of I, 0 in Z, and whenever x in Z then 
Sx in Z; then Z = I. How would an anti-induction rule be expressed? What 
would it mean? And would it lead to inconsistency? In other words would 
it falsify even one theorem provable in R|Q by the remaining axioms?

The answer to most of that is "I don't know", but I can sketch one
possible partial answer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_arithmetic#Axioms

Consider a set consisting of blue natural numbers (integers >= 0,
colored blue) and red integers (all integers, negative, 0, and positive,
colored red).  The successor of any blue number is a blue number, and
the successor of any red number is a red number.  (red 0 is zero in the
model; blue 0 is not.  Blue 0 is the successor of blue -1.)

This satisfies at least the first 3 of the 7 axioms described at the
link above:
    1. Sx ≠ 0
    2. (Sx = Sy) → x = y
    3. y=0 ∨ ∃x (Sx = y)

It breaks induction, since induction would indicate that all numbers
are red.

I suspect that it breaks one or both of the 5th and 7th axioms, the ones
that define addition and multiplication:
    4. x + 0 = x
    5. x + Sy = S(x + y)
    6. x·0 = 0
    7. x·Sy = (x·y) + x

You'd have to assign meanings to blue-red, red-blue, and red-red
addition and multiplication, and I haven't taken the time to try to do
so consistently.

But if that doesn't work, what I'm wondering is whether there's
*some* formulation that's consistent with Robinson Arithmetic in
which induction doesn't work.  And if there is, that *might* lead
to a system consistent with Q in which addition is not commutative.

Is induction the only way to prove that Q addition is commutative?

If I read this correctly: 1) All non-negative integers are blue. 2) All 
integers less than, equal to, or greater than zero are read => all 
integers are read. 3) Therefore, every blue integer is also red. I don't 
believe that is what you mean so I ask for a clarification before 
continuing to what follows. I understand that I might be misreading the 
above paragraph but I keep getting what I just said in my paraphrase.

Not quite.

The set consists of blue non-negative integers and red integers.  Red
and blue integers with the same value are distinct.  So these are all
distinct elements of the set:

    blue 0
    blue 1
    blue 2
    ...
    red -2
    red -1
    red 0
    red 1
    red 2

Blue 0 (but not red 0) plays the role of "zero" in the axioms.

It's designed so there's a least element (with no predecessor),
every element has a successor, and every element other than zero has
a predecessor, but (unlike the natural numbers) there are elements
you can never reach by repeatedly applying the successor operation
starting at zero.

Got it. By the way, there are standard constructions so that you have 
arbitrary elements with no successor (and also arbitrary elements with 
no predecessor) and you do or don't have max and min elements. All of 
this can be packed into a denumerable set or larger. A major 
accomplishment of Peano was to eliminate all of this by linearizing the 
elements; another was the recognition that an induction axiom is necessary.

The model is ({blue} x N) U ({red} x Z).  I.e. the elements are pairs:

  { (blue, 0), (blue, 1), (blue, 2), ...
    ... (red, -2), (red, -1), (red, 0), (red, 1), (red, 2), ... }

The successor is defined as

  S(blue, n) = (blue, n+1)
  S(red,  n) = (red,  n+1)

Q's zero is (red, 0).

I've not been following the sub-thread so I won't say if this model
shows what is claimed -- indeed I'm not yet sure what is claimed -- but
since I /was/ pretty sure I know what Keith was suggesting, I thought I'd
say something.

Yes.

No, Q's zero is (blue, 0) (which has no predecessor).  I misstated
that above.

For the same reason that "cats are animals" is true in biology and not 
true in mathematics there cannot be any expression of the language of 
any formal system that is true in this formal system yet lacks a mapping 
in this formal system from this expression to a Boolean value.

Total gibberish as usual. Note, I didn't gave my reply to one of your 
messages since it was certain that you would misread it and strike out 
screaming in the wrong direction. I noticed that there are at least a 
half dozen new versions of your crap that no one has replied to. You 
need to read starting with the basics.

And this is an example of why trying to have a conversation with you is
so frustrating.

I asked what I thought was a straightforward yes or no question, "Do you
accept that assumption?".  Your response did not include the word "yes"
or "no", nor did it attempt to demonstrate that neither "yes" nor "no"
would be a meaningful answer.  Instead you wrote several paragraphs
about the meaning of "satisfiable".

By all means, write all you like about the meaning of "satisifiable",
but please don't do so in a context that makes it look like you're
trying to answer my question.  Perhaps what you wrote has some relevance
to what I asked, but I don't see it.

You have not answered my question.  "Yes" or "No" would be an answer.

No I do not accept that assumption. Q does not know about the 
commutative property of addition so it is neither true nor false in Q.

I answered with all of the reasoning behind the correct answer.
It is like you asked me are their any five million pound giant humans?
I answer that there is no animal that weighs more than 330,000 lbs.
Then you said I did not answer your question.

That kind of answer is not useful if the person asking the question does
not accept understand the reasoning behind the answer.  In your example,
for that to be an answer I'd have to accept that humans are animals and
that five million pounds is more than 333,000 pounds.  Of course I do
accept both of those, but that's not the case with your statements about
mathematical logic, and you should stop assuming that it is.

I won't address (at least not in this post) whether I don't understand
your reasoning because I'm too stupid to understand your brilliance or
because you're wrong.

You seem to be frustrated that the rest of us either don't understand or
don't accept your claims.  I get that, and I believe you're sincere.
But if your intent is to communicate, you must at least *accept the
observed fact* that the rest of us either don't understand or don't
accept your claims.

If I ask you a yes or no question (which I've spent time carefully
constructing for the purpose of eliciting information), it would be
helpful if your answer would include the word "yes" or "no", preferably
at the beginning -- or an assertion, or ideally an explanation, that
neither "yes" nor "no" would be meaningful.  Whatever else you want to
say after that is fine.

For example:
Q: Are their any five million pound giant humans?
A: No, because there is no animal that weighs more than 330,000 lbs.
Q: OK, but how does your answer follow from your following statement?
   What are you assuming?
... and so on.

OK. I will strive to do better on this with you.

I am looking at these things at a much higher level of philosophical 
abstraction related to the fundemental nature of true itself.

If I was understood what I said would have to be accepted because it is 
a tautology.

OK withe you I will do that. With everyone else I say yes and they 
simply say that they disagree. I provide the reasoning behind what I say 
so that any disagreement is cut-off before it begins.

OK that is reasonable.

It is almost always the case that whenever I say that an expression of 
language is neither true nor false everyone's mind short-circuits.

They cannot (even after many hundreds of dialogues) begin to understand 
that syntactically correct expressions can be semantically wrong.

So far after at least 12,000 hours at this over twenty-two years not one 
person ever acknowledged that any WFF could be semantically incorrect.
