Sadly, we can't, for such a test would already be enough to solve the halting problem: if a TM's status is provable, enumerate possible proofs (of halting and non-halting) until we find one and know the result; if the status is no

Mostly no: we did find some non-halting TMs that required new proofs, but none of those had the flavor of new math, per se. Indeed, we found that all but 30 of them could be proved by finite automata methods, meaning the TM's state

As a member of these chats: it's often like hitting on an idea on a break-room blackboard and working it out, except the interaction can be cited. That's a positive change, if we can follow through and add to the literature in d

This program is at least related to what you want: https://googology.fandom.com/wiki/Hypercalc -- and the community there has devised other systems for representing huge numbers with compact notations.

Great news: this article does discuss it. It links to that exact Science paper.

FWIW: A pattern along these lines is in B of A's Quartz, allowing the construction of table filters like "Where('colname') <<inlist>> ['cat', 'dog']".

To your first point: yeah, some discomfort around it is valid, but I see it as a non-issue. Informally/philosophically, because a model's job is to capture everything a first-order theory can see about your object of study - so it

You can, as long as your first-order statement is in the language of set theory, by translating "there does not exist a bijective function f: N->R".

I love it! Quick idea -- though I'm not sure if this would further the goal of having fun, even as a PR -- there's a documented way to make Birdseed subclass random.Random ( https://hg.python.org/cpython/file&#

I think you're misunderstanding the example. An anti-derivative of 1/x is ln |x| (very different from |ln x|) when the domain excludes x=0. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, you can use it to integrate over intervals that ex
