Excerpt:
Gödel
“To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg (v Gen r) belongs to Flg (κ) (where v is the free variable of r).” Kurt Gödel, On Formally Undecidable Propositions
Gödel was set to be Bound
In Vienna with no one Around
But he couldn’t Complete
For the ends would not Meet
As mathematics he found had no Ground
