    Extractions: I originally wrote this paper in 1981 for a course in writing research papers at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology . It was written on a DEC PDP-11/70 computer using the RUNOFF text formatting program, and having it on line from the beginning made it easy to save an electronic copy for future use. The instructor, Dr. Peter Parshall (of "Peter Parshall picked apart my perfect paper" fame), awarded the grade of A- to my work. In 1995, with the World Wide Web available as a means of publication, I retrieved the original document from my archives and converted it to the HTML format seen here. Other than format conversions and the deletion of the bibliography (which the Notes section renders superfluous), the paper is exactly as I wrote it then. (Well, I also fixed a couple of spelling errors and added a missing word. These modifications are identified in the HTML source.) I am both gratified and disappointed that the conclusions I drew then are still valid. Jeff Makey jeff@sdsc.edu 12 March 1995 Artificial Intelligence. The idea of men building a machine which is capable of thinking, originating ideas, and responding to external stimuli in the same manner as a man might is fascinating to some people frightening to others. Whether or not artificial intelligence (or AI) is possible has been the subject of debate for quite some time now. As early as 1842, a memoir by Lady Ada Lovelace read: "The Analytical Engine has no pretentions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform."

"Well, how can I help you, Fred?" Lilah asked, leaning forward. "It is okay if I call you Fred, isn't it?" "They know," Fred said, suddenly. "The wolf, ram, and hart. They know how the equation balances. I read the books, and I say the words, but it won't balance. I assign it a Gödel number and divide it by six and still it won't, won't compute.

Open Questions (From Rucker, Infinity and the Mind Someone introduces Gödel to a UTM, a machine that is supposed to be a Universal Truth Machine, capable of correctly answering any question at all. Gödel asks for the program and the circuit design of the UTM. The program may be complicated, but it can only be finitely long. Call the program P(UTM) for Program of the Universal Truth Machine. Smiling a little, Gödel writes out the following sentence: "The machine constructed on the basis of the program P(UTM) will never say that this sentence is true." Call this sentence G for Gödel. Note that G is equivalent to: "UTM will never say G is true." Now Gödel laughs his high laugh and asks UTM whether G is true or not.

47. MyLot - Godel's Second Incompleteness Theorem
    Gödel s second incompleteness theorem can be stated as follows For any formal theory T including basic arithmetical truths and also  
    http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/65251.aspx
    
    Extractions: In case of Peano arithmetic or any familiar explicitly axiomatized theory T, it is possible to define the consistency "Con(T)" of T in terms of the non-existence of a number with a certain property, as follows: "there does not exist an integer coding a sequence of sentences, such that each sentence is either one of the (canonical) axioms of T, a logical axiom, or an immediate consequence of preceding sentences according to the rules of inference of first order logic, and such that the last sentence is a contradiction". However, for arbitrary T there is no canonical choice for Con(T). The formalization of Con(T) depends on two factors: formalizing the notion of a sentence being derivable from a set of sentences and formalizing the notion of being an axiom of T. Formalizing derivability can be done in canonical fashion, so given an arithmetical formula A(x) defining a set of axioms we can canonically form the predicate ProvA(P) which expresses that P is provable from the set of axioms defined by A(x). Using this predicate we can express Con(T) as "not ProvA('P and not-P')". Solomon Feferman showed that Gödel's second incompleteness theorem goes through when the formula A(x) is chosen so that it has the form "there exists a number n satisfying the decidable predicate P" for some P. In addition, ProvA(P) must satisfy the so-called Hilbert-Bernays provability conditions:

    Extractions: Parent Node(s): INCOMPLETENESS THEOREM Goedel's thesis initially about number theory but now found applicable to all formal systems that include the arithmetic of natural numbers: "any consistent axiomatic system does include propositions whose truth is undecidable within that system and its consistency is, hence, not provable within that system". The self-reference involved invokes the paradox: "a formal system of some complexity cannot be both consistent and decidable at the same time". The theorem rendered Frege, Russell and Whitehead's ideals of finding a few axions of mathematics from which all and only true statements can be deduced non-achievable. It has profound implications for theories of human cognition, computational linguistics and limits artificial intelligence in particular. ( Krippendorff Next Previous Index ...

    Extractions: In a nutshell: All consistent axiomatic systems contain undecidable propositions. What does this mean? An axiomatic system consists of some undefined terms, a number of axioms referring to those terms and partially describing their properties, and a rule or rules for deriving new propositions from already existing propositions. There are a couple of main reasons why axiomatic systems are so useful: first, they're compact descriptions of the whole field of propositions derivable from the axioms, so large bodies of math can be compressed down into a very small compass; second, because they're so abstract, these systems let us derive all, and only, the results that follow from things having the formal properties specified by the axioms. An axiomatic system is said to be consistent if, given the axioms and the derivation rules, it doesn't lead to any contradictory propositions. One of the first modern axiomatic systems was a formalization of simple arithmetic (adding and multiplying whole numbers), achieved the great logician Giuseppe Peano and now known as Peano arithmetic . What Kurt Gödel did was to show that every syntactically correct proposition in Peano arithmetic can be represented by a unique integer, called its
