The ability to understand and maybe manipulate the world without limitation.What do you mean by omniscience and potential omnipotence? — Posty McPostface
I do not understand. There is math and there is... stones. How are stones math?I take it from a Platonic POV and assume that math is the reality, therefore what does that imply according to Godel's Incompleteness Theorems? — Posty McPostface
Who? Which model?Modern mathematics holds the view that the G-sentence is true in some models (notably the standard model) and false in others. — Arisktotle
Again: Which model?Since some essential "reflective" information was not passed on from the model to the formal system, it couldn't decide the outcome. — Arisktotle
No, no... The sentence could be coded into the all-system. It just blew up then.Then again, formal systems actually lack the tool required to receive that information and we would have to conclude that Gödels concept simply cannot be completely coded into the language of the formal system. — Arisktotle
Would a definition be true in respect to itself?Therefore I am not overly impressed when a mathematician speaks of "undefinable truth". — Arisktotle
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
