Jul 24, 2015 at 14:50 comment added Andreas Blass @DavidRoberts The facts that Con(SOA) is true, that all axioms of SOA are true, that logical inference preserves truth, and that therefore Con(SOA) cannot be refuted in SOA are all provable in the usual foundational system for mathematics, ZFC. (They're also provable in far weaker systems,but I don't think that's needed to answer "How does one get this?")
Jul 24, 2015 at 5:26 comment added David Roberts "...and it's not refutable because it's true." really? How does one get this?
Jul 23, 2015 at 18:44 comment added Andreas Blass Note that Gödel's paper on the incompleteness theorems is, as indicated in its title, about Principia Mathematica and related systems. Principia Mathematica is considerably stronger than SOA.
