Re: "theory"



Re. the following:
 
what do you make of Kurt Goedel's "incompleteness" theorems?
Comment:
 
Goedel's Proof states that "any logical system adequate for number theory must contain propositions not provable in that system."
 
All valid propositions in Euclidean Geometry (or moves in Chess and plays in Contract Bridge) are 'provable' with respect to the Set of Axioms which comprise its Rules of the Game.

P.S.  What was Major Douglas' take on Goedel's theorem?

[Tomasson]  ...no set of incomplete, inconsistent, and incoherent axiomatic premises can be transformed into "a logical system".

Is that your position?  Then what do you make of Kurt Goedel's "incompleteness" theorems?
