    Self-contradictory gibberish is never true or provable.
    It is better to reject it as gibberish before
    proceeding otherwise someone might make an
    incompleteness theorem out of it and falsely
    conclude that math is incomplete.

    This sentence is not true:
    "This sentence is not true"
    is true because the inner sentence
    is self-contradictory gibberish.

    This sentence cannot be proven in F:
    "This sentence cannot be proven in F"
    is true because the inner sentence
    is self-contradictory gibberish.

    Right. so you can only have two of the following, and not all three:

    1) Consistent.
    2) Complete
    3) Capable of supporting the Natural Numbers.

    It seems the logic you can handle can't do the last, so yo are fine with
    your limited, but Complete and Consistant system.

    Nope, it weems you think math doesn't work.

    Sorry, all you are doing is proving that you don't actually understand
    what you are taking about, and that you versio of "logic" allows you to lie.

    G must be true (or all of mathematic is just inconsistant, something you
    can't just assume) as there can not be a number g that satisfies that relationship.

    If you want to claim that there might be such a number, then you are
    just assuming that mathematics is inconsistant.

    If you want to claim there is a finite proof of the fact that there is
    such an number, you have to explain how you can write such a proof and
    not have it be encodable in a number g that satisfies the relationship.
    In other words, you are claiming that "writing" is just inconsistatn.

    "Math" isn't "meta", math is math. MEANING can be created by
    programming, something Godel effectively shows can be recreated in mathematics.

    All you are doing is proving that you think anything you don't
    understand can't be true, which just proves your stupidity.

    Want to try to show that?

    Your problem is you just don't understand how any of this works, and so
    just make blanket statements.

    Note, the MATH wasn't "meta", but was fully defined in the base system.

    Godel was effectively just showing that mathematical models are like
    programs and that programs can analyize proofs.

    Maybe you think that it is impossible for a program to tell you if
    something is true? But that goes against your whole thesis.

    Any Formal System having an unprovability operator re4

    It's odd to use that as unprovability[sic], but at least you have a
    reference to the system in your expression so we could meaningfully read
    it as a negation.


    (F re4 G) rei -4(F reo G)

    And if F consistently discusses itself so then also F reo -4G ?
    Does F consistently discuss itself so?

    An F where such sequence really exists then in that F both G and
    the negation of G are provable.

    G := (F re4 G)-a-a // G asserts its own unprovability in F

    A proof of G in F would be a sequence of inference
    steps in F that prove that they themselves do not exist.
    Does not exist because is contradicts itself.

    That conclusion needs the additional assumption that F is consistent,
    which requires that the first order Peano arithmetic is consistent.

    It remains true for any proof system that does not
    contradict itself.

    Only for those where G can be constructed so that G is true if and
    only if it is not provable. Such construction is prosible in Peano
    arithmetic and many other systems but not in every system.

    Any Formal System having an unprovability operator re4
    and A := B // A [is defined as] B (self-reference operator)
    can reject this expression G := (F re4 G) as non-well-founded
    using Proof Theoretic Semantics.

    That is a very restricted scope. For example, neither operator is in
    the language of the first order Peano arithmetic. In addition, in
    langages that have := don't have it as a symbol for a function or a
    predicate but as sui generis with specific syntax rules, one of which
    usually is that the symbol on the left side of := must not be used on
    the right side. Therefore G := (F re4 G) is not in typical languages that
    have := and re4.
