yes
truth
absolute truth
substantiated truth
derived truth
proven truth
proof

which line is this sequence of equivalent statements is erronous?

no, he made minimal assumptions about the theory, he had NO
internal workings of Proof() bar its numerical indexing.

meaning the *total* function Proof() is impossible.

Then split the models in half.

CASE 1/ PA is consistent

Godel nomenclature without regard to PAs consistency

CASE 2/ PA is not consistent

other Godel nomenclature

BECAUSE ALL YOUR STATEMENTS ARE RELIANT ON THAT CLAUSE!

cyclic internal catch 22 errors abound in computer theory

what on earth are you going on about?
you don't even have a defn of proof, how cares about peano arithmetic
its the domain of predicate calculus.

its the most trivial implication in maths, and is this where your argument
holds or is this another rabbit run into obscurity to spend 100s of posts
defining the domain of PROOF(x) -> x then its not even part of your
argument anyway?

  Proof has to do with axioms and rules of inference.
  Truth has to do with interpretations of sentences.

You can read a sentence and know its true, it doesn't require a proof?
Whats a formula parser for then? when do you know the truth from an axiom,
a proof of a sentence?

This is the garbage BELIEVING "this statement G has no proof" and
DISBELIEVING Proof(x)<->x will lead you to conclude.

I'll do the opposite on route to what I'm asserting,
I'll show why G is in the same class as A.

T |- C <=> \phi("X") <-> X
T |- G <=> ~\phi("G")

G

By T |- C, G -> \phi("G"), since \phi represents provability in T we would have
by T |- G <=> ~\phi("G"), then \phi("G") -> ~G we have G is false.

~G

Therefore the existence of G is equivalent to inconsistency of T, where T is
a Factual_Consistent_Model where \phi(formula)<->formula, containing only proven facts.
