godels proof is invalid for 5 reasons

so footnote 48a is really worthless

quote

Gödel is a complete failure as he ends in utter meaninglessness. Godels
theorems are invalid for 5 reasons: he uses the axiom of reducibility-
which is invalid, he uses the axiom of choice, he constructs impredicative
statements - which are invalid ,he miss uses the theory of types, he falls
into 3 paradoxes

I thought that note 48a explained everything, except the hilbertian etc mechanics expressing the metaphysical to mathematical translation. Godel employs two notions of object in his metaphysics. He subsumes them both under one object by resorting to a 'proof' when he expresses the picture he draws for us.

No doubt you may have identified tricks of the trade in how Godel translates a metaphysical premise of mathematics into a mathematical assertion. You can't do this of course, for reasons I gave.
