Gödel doesn’t say ‘mathematics cannot contemplate itself’. Quite the opposite.
- mejutoco 3y agoIt is an analogy to mention that is not a far fetched idea that there are limits. As far as I recall, one of the results of Gödel is that a system capable of Arithmetic cannot prove certain things about itself. Aka there are limits within a system. My claim was about limits existing.
