The numbers are essential, because Gödel Incompleteness is about number theory. The Gödel Theorem involves a proof in which a certain number, the "Gödel number" that may be called G, is asserted to have a number-theoretical property. An example of a number-theoretical property is "25 is a perfect square". Except we need it in more formal language. Gödel discovered that you can encode statements of number theory as integers, and manipulate them (e.g. do derivation) by arithmetic. Then it became obvious that whether or not a formula is a theorem is a property of its Gödel number: a number-theoretical property. There are theorem-numbers and non-theorem-numbrers. The Gödel sentence says somethng like "The Gödel number calculated by the expression G is not a theorem-number." But G turns out to be the Gödel number of that very sentence itself. > >> Pick another word.

I'm not making an argument; I'm suggesting a way of choosing an alternative word, since "tautology" is taken. >>> *Semantic tautology is stipulated to mean* >> >> Reject; call it something else. >> >>> Any expression of language that is proven true entirely >>> on the basis of its meaning expressed in language. >> >> You are gonna need to supply an example. > > The key is that a counter-example is categorically > impossible. So you are saying every expression in a certain language is proven true, so that its syntax admits no false sentences? What language is that, and what are examples? What happens when you try to make a false sentence? Is it possible to utter conjectures which later turn out false; and if so, then what happens? >>>> You would need to have tremendous stature in logic to >>>> be able to dictate a redefinition of a deeply entrenched, >>>> standard term. >>> >>> Or I could simply prove that I am correct on the >> >> Your intellectual track record shows that you couldn't prove correct >> your way out of a wet paper bag. > > Ad hominem the first choice of losers. But anyway, your intellectual track record shows that you couldn't prove correct your way out of a wet paper bag. This is entirely relevant. You've never proven anything and never will. That contradicts your above claim that "I could simply prove ...". All evidence points to: no, you couldn't. >> You are already wrong. The definition of word is neither correct >> nor incorrect.

The existing definition of "tautology" doesn't have these issues. -- TXR Programming Language: http://nongnu.org/txr Cygnal: Cygwin Native Application Library: http://kylheku.com/cygnal Mastodon: @Kazinator@mstdn.ca
