Gödel's Incompleteness and Paradox Theory
Gödel's incompleteness theorem demonstrates that in any formal system (strong enough to include basic arithmetic), there are truths that cannot be proven within the system. This suggests that no formal system can be complete or fully consistent within itself. I look at this idea and apply it to the interaction of two systems. If two systems share a common invariant, or a constant foundation, then the question of whether the systems are "equal" or "paradoxical" arises, depending on how they differ or align within that foundation. Key Concepts of my Paradox Theory: Invariant/Foundation: This represents the shared, constant base between the two systems. It’s the part of the system that is untouched by the dynamics or the context-specific variations. Nominator (Contextual Difference): The nominator in this case is the contextual element that exists between the systems—the part that makes the two systems appear different or even paradoxical. These differences, or the...
