    Extractions: Left: Evangelia Chryssafidou: ANNOT.A: An Up: Oral Presentations in 1998 Right: Ian Ozsvald: An Introduction Many people maintain that this statement is clearly true but unprovable. This is not so as truth must be defined with respect to a model, and the model is not uniquely determined by the axioms. Moreover since the Godel statement cannot be proved, its negation can be consistently added to the set of axioms, and a model produced in which it is be definition false. These models are called non-standard models of arithemtic, The existence of these non-standard models shows that the Godel statement is indeterminate in truth value with respect to the axioms of arithmetic, though it is true in the standard model, the natural numbers.

For example, if your task is to represent romantic facts about the domain of people, including, specifically, Alice and Bertrand, and the fathers of both of them, you might decide to use Given this symbol set, f a b terms (e.g., a is a term, as are: f a f f a b f b )), and you can create formulas to say such things as the following: English Formulas in FOL Alice loves Bertrand. Lab Alice loves Bertrand's father. Laf b Alice loves everyone. Bertrand loves those who love Alice's father.

For example, C (n) could be the computation 'Find the lowest number greater than n that is the product of two square numbers'. 2) Let C (0), C (1), C (2), C (3), etc., therefore, be particular computations belonging to the family C (n). 3) Let A x n ) be a computation (similar to a C x n ) computation) whose target is a (correct) proof that the computation C x n ) will never stop.

51. Chapter 6. An Incompleteness Theorem For Bytecode Verifiers
    An incompleteness theorem for Bytecode Verifiers. The bytecode verifieris a key component of Java security. Practical bytecode verifiers  
    http://medialab.di.unipi.it/doc/JNetSec/jns_ch6.htm
    
    Extractions: The bytecode verifier is a key component of Java security. Practical bytecode verifiers divide bytecode programs into three classes: those that will not cause problems when they run, those that will cause problems when they run, and those where the verifier is not certain. You can improve a bytecode verifier by reducing its area of uncertainty. Can you eliminate uncertainty completely? Can you build a complete bytecode verifier that determines whether a program is safe or not before it runs? The answer is no, you cannot. It is mathematically impossible. This short chapter shows why. To demonstrate this, we focus on one aspect of bytecode verification, stack-underflow checking. This involves determining whether a bytecode program will underflow the stack, by removing more items from it than were ever placed on it. Then we use the argument known as reductio ad absurdum. We assume that there is a complete stack-underflow checker and show that this assumption leads to a contradiction. This means that the assumption must have been false - a complete stack-underflow checker is impossible. Since a complete bytecode verifier must contain a complete stack-underflow checker, a complete bytecode verifier is impossible too. Suppose then that there is such a thing as a complete stack-underflow checker. We write a method in standard Java bytecode which takes as its argument the name of a class file and returns the value true if the specified class file does not underflow the stack, and false if it does.

52. Godel Vs. Artificial Intelligence

    http://www.sdsc.edu/~jeff/Godel_vs_AI.html
    
    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."

55. The Incompleteness Theorem Of God
    The incompleteness theorem of God. Here is one of my favorite philosophical knickknacks. Obviouslythis is a variation on Godel's incompleteness theorem.  
    http://www.u.arizona.edu/~brennan/incomplete.htm
    
    Extractions: Here is one of my favorite philosophical knickknacks. God is usually conceived as having the property of omnipotence, i.e. as being capable of doing anything. While philosophers have already shown there are numerous difficulties with such a notion, I would like to offer my own simple proof that omnipotence is impossible. I will show that there is something I am capable of doing that God cannot. Moreover, I am not referring to something trivial (I am capable of being identical to myself but God is not), but rather I will show that I can prove a statement that God cannot. Take the statement G: God is incapable of proving G. This is not the liar's paradox, for the proposition does not entail that it itself is false. Rather, it refers to God's ability to prove it. Obviously this is a variation on Godel's incompleteness theorem. It is either the case that God can prove G or God cannot. Assume God can prove G. God is capable only if G is true, since a false proposition cannot be proven. Thus if God can prove G then G is true.

    http://www.philosophy.unimelb.edu.au/Staff/HazLu/Lu3.html
    
    Extractions: Section 3 : Gödel's Theorem. A major concern for (philosophically minded) mathematicians in, say, the 1920s was What system of axioms should we assume as a basis for our mathematical work? (Well, it ought to be a concern of philosophically-minded mathematicians at any time, but it was more pressing then: habit since then has gotten many mathematicians used to assuming what's in the standard set-theory textbooks, but in the 1920s the habit wasn't as firmly entrenched.) For one thing, there had been a disaster: early attempts to state axioms for set theory had led to what seemed plausible but what in fact led to absurd, incoherent, inconsistent… obviously false theorems. For another thing, the brilliant Dutch topologist and philosopher of mathematics L.E.J. Brouwer was urging mathematicians to adopt a new viewpoint that would have led to throwing out many accepted proofs and starting over. David Hilbert, the most famous German mathematician in a period when Germany led the world in mathematical research, proposed Hilbert's Program : an attempt to justify the axioms of a system of set theory by metamathematical proof In (slightly!) more detail, he set out
