No, it does not. The second incompleteness theorem is provable in first-order Peano Arithmetic.

I have no idea what you're trying to say, but I assure you that people who do this kind of research are aware of the completeness theorem.
- posterboy 10y agoOh, the second one comes of wrong. I did mean the parent quote > A formal system cannot in general prove that it is reliable I hadn't noticed when I wrote that, formal system is an idiom - even more specific in this specific context. How confusing.
