Talk:Goodstein's theorem

Source 📝

1406:" ....an infinite strictly decreasing sequence cannot exist, or equivalently, every strictly decreasing sequence of ordinals do terminate (and cannot be infinite)." The grammar seems to have gone awry here. Most of us use a singular verb after "every". "All things come to an end" but "Every man comes to an end". Apart from that, the statement seems (to the uninitiated) incorrect. The sequence ω, ω - 1, ω - 2 .... looks strictly decreasing to me and it seems to go for ever. I think non-specialists would appreciate either a bit more explanation here or a reference to an article which explains the meaning of the statement about strictly decreasing sequences and proves that is true. 994:
sequences are a worldwide standard after all these years. Now that you have done that, what is the purpose in raising numbers up to a superscript, or bringing them down to a subscript. Are you suggesting they have exponential effects of some kind? In any case, don't pepper your examples up with 'C" source code, that's downright inscrutable. Just frame your argument in terms of ordinary lines of BASIC code, if you will, and I, like many others who come by this area, will probably understand what you are talking about.
1279:(as at the second link). The relationship to Goodstein's theorem is exactly the same for both representations of the Hydra game, so I suggest a more evenhanded treatment. The fact that the second link presents the game as the execution of a "program" composed of trees, and also explains a more general form of the game, would hardly seem to matter in this regard. On the other hand, if the concern is really about academic or other credentials (rather than relevancy), then I don't wish to pursue the matter. Discussion? — 84: 375:
problem is that "it cannot be expressed in PA language"?!! That's actually nice and reassuring because on a first glance it seems that one needs not to know the theory of infinite ordinal numbers, but that it should be sufficient (since actually equivalent) to "code" the numbers using "vectors" (nested lists) of finite length, together with sufficient description of how the "bump to base b+1" and "minus 1" is done with these vectors (i.e., keeping track of length and "height" of these vectors). —

It seems that original Goodstein theorem (as written in his work) was a bit more strong. He does not restrict changing the base from 2 to 3, from 3 to 4 and so on. He says that if we have _any_ permutation of N and we will change bases accorgind to this permutation, anyway finally we will finish with

notation make a lot more sense? Isn't Base 2 the same thing as binary? I think a lot more people would understand 35 in binary to be %00100011, and not 2 ^ 2 ^ 2 + 1. I guess all I am saying, is that the example given in the main page, seemed/seems to proceed from the assumption that binary was

What about CON(PA), certainly a natural statement since the whole Hilbert school was chasing after a proof of it before Gödel showed that was impossible? I guess both CON(PA) and Gentzen's induction principle would count as "metamathematical", though I personally don't see why that should matter.

of the text counts as superscript, and how much farther it has to go, to be super-superscript, and conversely, how far below the baseline you should go, to make it a subscript, and so on. Naturally, I will assume you are already familiar with Hewlett-Packard Laserjet escape sequences since those

Articles written for Knowledge should not be dumbed down, but they should be organized in such a way that ordinary people can make heads or tails out of what you are saying. If you want to use 35 as an example for some strange superscript/subscript notation system, you might want to start out by
328:
Yes, Goodstein states the theorem that way in his 1944 paper, which I just double-checked. But he isn't proving the independence from PA; he is just showing the the sequence must terminate. When stated in this general form, the theorem is not expressible in the language of Peano arithmetic. To
1571:
f(G(m)(n+1),n+2), as G'(m)(n)=G(m)(n+1)+1. is not an ordinal.” is hard to understand. Could please someone rewrite it starting with simple steps and ending with conclusions? Already the second sentence is not understandable, and the whole para (in fact, the whole claim) needs a complete clean
374:
So actually it's well possible that this version of the theorem is possible to (state and) prove in the PA, and only the one depending on some permutation β of the naturals is not...?! And actually one cannot even say that the "full" version cannot be proved in PA, but actually the main (only?)
312:
One has to be careful when saying things like "replace every instance of n with the first infinite ordinal number ω", as in all the definitions and examples above the coefficients appear on the left, and ordinal multiplication isn't commutative. You don't want to have, e.g., 3·ω = ω, but rather

it's a choice between the two, I recommend the first link, since pictorial graphs are the "standard" and are probably visually preferable. Aside from some generalisations, the second link primarily shows how these games can be played using bracket expressions rather than graphs. —
1182:
Unless I'm failing to see something, this expression is not a base-2 expression on any level, let alone on all levels, since it contains the digit 2. A base-n expression cannot contain a digit representing n, just like base-10 doesn't have a single digit representing the number 10.

This theorem is more or less the only place that hereditary base-n notation is used. So having an extra article on that would probably give it more weight than it deserves. When people learn the theorem, they are not likely to be familiar with hereditary base-n notation

0 (starting with any natural number). And (as far as I understand) Goodstein theorem in this (strong) meaning cannot be proved from Peano axioms. It is not clear whether Goodstein theorem in the written in the article (weak) meaning cannot be proved from Peano axioms.

was sufficient to prove the consistency of PA; (c) Gödel's second incompleteness theorem says that it's impossible to prove that a system is consistent using methods available in the system itself; so therefore, PA is not capable of doing transfinite induction up to
361:. I don't think that the independence result would be sensitive to which increasing function you use, but checking it would be a lot of work. In any event, the theorem that is now known as Goodstein's theorem is the one mentioned in this article. 487:
The natural theorem expressible but not provable in PA is Gentzen's induction principle. He maks this very clear in 1943 and it has been noted many times, e.g., in Schwichtenberg's paper in the Handbook of Mathematical Logic, ed. Barwise. 1977.
1378:
I corrected the proof since there were a misunderstanding of the argument (G(m) does note converge, G(m) terminates, the fact that P(m) dominates G(m) plays no role at all). Please carefully read it before blind cancellation of my edit... ;-)
1217:
It is a base-2 expansion, so a sum of powers of 2, not a base-2 expression. You start by expanding 35 as such a sum, viz. 35 = 2^5 + 2^1 + 2^0. Then you do the same for all of the exponents you used in that base-2 expansion: replace them with

The lede is carefully worded to avoid giving the impression that the result can be "proved" in PA but as a result the lede never actually states that Goodstein actually proved anything, only "stated". Should this be clarified?

On your other point — you can't get an ordinal smaller than ω by subtracting 1. Every ordinal less than ω is finite. The expression "ω−1" either does not make sense at all, or else evaluates to ω, depending on your notational
