Okay, hello everybody. I think this is the kind of quiz that we may actually want to
go over, right? Okay. Before I do, who managed to register for the exam? On your own? Okay.
Everyone who managed to register for the exam on their own without having to like, okay.
So everyone who's not yet registered for the exam and still needs to do so, please ping
Florian Raber because he's the person who actually has access to the system where you
do all the exam related things. I have no idea what's going wrong. Neither does he,
but in the worst case what we do is we just register you manually by literally entering
your matricle number, right? So if you want to register for the exam and you haven't yet,
send your matricle number to Florian Raber either in the Matrix channel or like in a
private message on Matrix or via email, anything like that. In the meantime, we will like see
whether we can figure out what's wrong. Well, I can't, but like Florian will still try to
figure out what's wrong. Yeah. Either way, ping Florian, then you're on the safe side.
Okay. Then let's maybe look at those. Yeah, sure.
Now this is, I think, the easier one, right? So incompleteness theorem tells us that any
extension of Peano arithmetic, there is some formula, sorry, any computable extension of
Peano arithmetic, there is some formula phi such that neither P A proves phi nor P A proves
not phi, right? Which means there is some closed first order proposition phi such that
neither P A nor P A, such that neither P A proves phi nor P A proves not phi. Yeah, that's
what it means for P A to be incomplete. And so that is correct. There are infinitely many
models of Peano arithmetic that all satisfy different propositions. That is a direct corollary
of that because since every extension or every computable extension of Peano arithmetic is
incomplete, that means every time you find one such a proposition, you can just add that
to Peano arithmetic, which gives you a new theory to which the incompleteness theorem
applies, which again gives you another one of those formulas which you can add and so
on and so forth, and you can do that infinitely often. That's probably the least obvious option
in this entire quiz. But yeah, so therefore this one is correct. There's some super set
of Peano arithmetic that is complete. Yeah, there is. You just take the standard natural
numbers, take every formula that is true in there, put them all in one theory and that gives you a
complete theory. That theory is not computable. Okay, so you don't know which formula is actually
in that theory, but there is no algorithm that tells you. But you can construct a complete
extension of Peano arithmetic, which is there is some computable super set of Peano arithmetic.
That one is wrong. That's exactly the point of basically of the incompleteness theorem.
Every computable extension of Peano arithmetic suffers from the same flaw, namely it's just
necessarily incomplete. But if you just don't care about computability, you can just easily
just take all the statements that are true about the natural numbers and you get a complete
theory. There's some subset of Peano arithmetic that proves that Peano arithmetic is consistent.
No, Peano arithmetic cannot prove its own consistency. That's the second Gödel incompleteness
theorem. And if Peano arithmetic can, definitely no subset of Peano arithmetic can. There's some
super set of Peano arithmetic that proves that Peano arithmetic is consistent. I mean, it does
say correct here. Yeah, sure. You just need to add the statement Peano arithmetic is consistent
to Peano arithmetic and then gives you a super set of Peano arithmetic that proves that Peano arithmetic...
Sorry? Can prove its own consistency. Yes, but it can prove the consistency of Peano
arithmetic alone. Just take the axiom Peano arithmetic is consistent, add it to Peano
arithmetic. That gives you a new theory that proves that Peano arithmetic is consistent,
which itself cannot prove its own consistency. For a more trivial example, naive set theory
proves that Peano arithmetic is consistent. Or any set theory proves that Peano arithmetic
is consistent because it gives you a direct model of the natural numbers. Peano arithmetic
is inconsistent. Not necessarily true. I mean, you can sort of like epistemologically claim
that we don't know because we can't prove that it's consistent unless you assume something
that is stronger than Peano arithmetic, blah, blah, blah. But definitely we don't know
