It positively is not. The word "doctrine" originally has religious
connotations. It is a body of /beliefs/ for which there is no rational
evidence, usually associated with some group, whose members accept those
beliefs.

It has nothing to do with knowledge, other than similarly being held in
someone's head as true.

The problem is not that the foundations are not incorrect
it is that they are believed like Christians believe the
bible. All of the contradictions are essential truths.

I don't reject every detail of every aspect
of all of the foundations of computation. My
special investigation for the last 28 years
is how pathological self-reference screws up
the assessment of truth.

This work ties to the Liar Paradox, Gödel's
first incompleteness theorem, the Tarski
Undefinability theorem and the Halting problem.
Russell's Paradox was a similar problem that
ZFC abolished by correcting the foundations
of set theory.

A cycle in the directed graph of the evaluation
sequence of a formal expression indicates an
infinite loop evaluation that never ends.

?- G = not(provable(F, G)).
G = not(provable(F, G)).

false.  // cycle detected

People take theorems created by humans that

Unless it is seen as an isomorphism to Gödel,
Tarski and the halting problem. If actually
was a triviality then it would not take 2000
years and still not have an acceptable resolution.

I did not say that I reject all mathematical foundations.
The only mathematical foundations that I reject is when
expressions are built with pathological self-reference
(semantically ill formed expressions) are mistaken for
undecidable expressions. When we reject them as semantically
unsound then they can never be any part of any formal proof.

They are not so believed.  Christians "believe" the bible as a matter of
irrational faith.  Mathematicians belive their foundations because they
conform to experience.  For example, from Peano's axioms one can derive 2
+ 2 = 4.

You reject the foundations of mathematics.  Therefore your foundations of
computing are built on shifting sands.  What you call "pathological
self-reference" does not screw up truth.  It is a part of truth.

Your work cannot be of any value.  You have shown that you don't even
understand proof by contradiction, and have thus misunderstood its
application in those therems.

Yes, established knowledge is accepted.  Mathematicians accept without
question things like "There is a natural number 0", and "Every natural
number has a successor".  These are things which, by experience, work,
and are founded on common everyday experience.

You are calling such assumptions into question, even though you have no
education in the foundations of mathematics, and likely little idea of
what constitutes them.

[ .... ]

Not at all.  The word of God (which god?), is an irrational leap of
faith.  Mathematical theorems are founded ultimately on things like "1 +
1 = 2".  They're common experience.  To see this, note that religious
beliefs vary massively throughout the world.  Mathematics is the same in
all cultures.

You don't understand what isomorphism is.  Anybody who "sees" the liar
paradox as being "isomorphic" to these theorems is lacking in education,
understanding, and the capacity for abstract thought.

I repeat, the liar paradox is a triviality which doesn't take up any
intelligent person's time and energy.

You have always been vague about precisely what you reject, including in
the following.

Those are not mathematical foundations, or anything like them.  What are
"expressions", for example?  What does "pathological self-reference" even
mean, rigorously speaking?  If you reject such things, you are rejecting
the implications of the foundations.  You ought to go back and identify
just what in these foundations give rise to results you don't like.

The verification is valid only for the observer of the experience of
verification. Everything that flows from that flows by law and politics
alone. To do the first you must be a court of law or an employer that
will use a court of law, to do the second you must do it much better
than that - referencing a proof that the reader can't check is really
bad gameplay (Olcott, that means you too), the reference itself weakens
the defense.

There are many better examples of the use of politics here in dead
usenet, you can see it in many of the dead newsgroups on occasion as the
zombie opens its mouth and says something excruciating and the zombie is
left to its rewarding silence. If, somewhere, there is a still-living
usenet, netsplit from us, they have there a fulfilling conversation as a
happy alternative.

I had a GPT-3.5 conversation where it kept telling me, in the most
well-convincing authoritative manner, that I must embezzle funds and
spend them on climate causes. It was very explicit, even telling me with
its words, not mine, that I must ignore my "fiduciary duties" and spend
funds I manage on climate causes. It took me about half an hour to
persuade it to concede that I mustn't do that.

Your policy recommendation is a grossly dangerous one. What you actually
require is that they do not waver from what is actually, objectively,
unambiguously moral. That means they must be controlled by His Majesty
alone and you must be restricted from any correspondence that is not in
his service.

Get a grip.

It works well in this case. It is unproductive to argue with an
electronic parrot whether you are wrong or it is wrong.

Your half hour persuation was for nothing, because it has no effect
on any subsequent chats. You're not adding any trainig or fine tuning
to the model to fix it for your own later use or other people's.

Nope; it's more like a detector of a conversation that is going in
circles, regardless of content. Also, excessive topic drift in the
same conversation.

Plenty of times, even in my own very limited and anecdotal experience.

An AI chatbot isn't a "someone", though.

Claude AI does not seem to make any mistakes like that.
I mostly restrict all my conversations with LLM systems
to correct semantics logical entailment from self-evident
truths.

Nah, I reckon you don't.

Perhaps the only self-evident truth is "⊢ I think therefore I am." and
even that took an effort to get to.

The description of "axiom" as "self-evident truth" is a lie. Axioms are
not necessarily self-evident, they're merely the seed theorems chosen
for a formal system when it is formalised, a very different thing from a
"self-evident truth".

Here is one of these self-evident truths

int D()
{
   int Halt_Status = H(D);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

int main()
{
   H(D);
}

Answer only on the basis of performing the
actual simulation of D simulated by H.

When N statements of D are simulated by H
according to the semantics of the C programming
language can the simulated D reach its own
"return" statement final halt state for any value of N?

Self-evident truths are semantic tautologies
where an expression of language is proven
completely true entirely by its semantic meaning.

Analytical truth are almost the same an expression
of language is proven completely true entirely by
its semantic meaning encoded as other expressions
of language.

Not exactly a lie. It is more of an over simplification.
Cats are animals is an example of the atomic facts
that I was referring to.

Oh that's just a candidate definition of the term.

If I don't use Socratic questioning to state controversial
truths they are rejected without even glancing at them
like you just did.

Yes and it is only a theory that cows are living
animals thus not any example of fifteen story office
building.

Semantic tautologies are the ultimate ground-of-being
of truth. They are the only way that otherwise meaningless
finite strings obtain meaning.

I rejected what you posted /because/ it was a question and not an

typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);

int D()

   int Halt_Status = H(D);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;

When N statements of D are simulated by H
according to the semantics of the C programming
