For construction of his undecidable formula he introduces a non-constructive, non-recursive predicate beweisbar, provable. Staying within the area of categorical free-variables theory PR of primitive recursion or appropriate extensions opens the chance to avoid the two (original) G\\\"odel's incompleteness theorems: these are stated for Principia Mathematica und verwandte Systeme, \"related systems\" such as in particular Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory ZF and v. Neumann G\\\"odel Bernays set theory NGB. On the basis of primitive recursion we consider \\mu-recursive maps as partial pr maps. Special terminating general recursive maps considered are complexity controlled iterations. Map code evaluation is then given in terms of such an iteration. We discuss iterative pr map code evaluation versus termination conditioned soundness and based on this decidability of primitive recursive predicates. This leads to consistency provability and soundness for classical, quantified arithmetical and set theories as well as for the PR descent theory \\piR, with unexpected consequences: We show inconsistency provability for the quantified theories as well as consistency provability and logical soundness for the theory \\piR of primitive recursion, strengthened by an axiom scheme of non-infinite descent of complexity controlled iterations like (iterative) map-code evaluation.", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-04-13T14:02:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03G30", "03B30", "03D75" ], "keywords": [ "pr map code evaluation", "arithmetical foundations", "terminating general recursive maps", "set theory", "primitive recursion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1312.7275P" } } }
