Jun 28, 2012 at 9:32 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | But Ali, those two notions are deeply connected: every strictly $\Pi^0_n$ set $A$, for nonzero $n$, has infinitely many $k$ for which the assertion $k\in A$ is independent of your favorite theory, for otherwise the proof-search algorithm would show that $A$ is not actually $\Pi^0_n$. | |
Jun 28, 2012 at 1:30 | comment | added | Ali Enayat | David, how exactly does the set you describe provide "such a sentence"? It seems to me that your solution is conflating two meanings of the word "undecidable": one meaning applies to a set of integers, the other to a sentence. | |
