Aug 16, 2022 at 19:45 comment added Joel David Hamkins It makes sense to me to discuss the first incompleteness theorem without coding syntax, but I don't see how it makes sense to discuss the second incompleteness without an internal account of syntax, since the second incompleteness theorem asserts that the theory T does not prove its own consistency. But to even express the statement of the second incompletness theorem, one must already have an internal account of the theory and an internal account of the notion of proof.

Jul 23, 2020 at 23:59 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo More interesting is whether you can avoid self-referenciality (no appeals to Gödel's diagonal lemma, for instance). See for instance MR4009518. Visser, Albert, From Tarski to Gödel—or how to derive the second incompleteness theorem from the undefinability of truth without self-reference. J. Logic Comput. 29 (2019), no. 5, 595–604.

Jul 13, 2020 at 9:32 comment added Fedor Pakhomov For strong enough finite fragment $T$ of $\mathsf{ZFC}$ it would be possible to define a model $M$ of $T$ to be a binary relation $(D^M,\in^M)$ such that we have relativizations of all axioms of $T$ to $(D^M,\in^M)$. So for this kind of theories it would be possible to formulate model-theoretic version of Gödel's 2nd incompleteness theorem without reference to enconding of syntax. However, as far as I know, there are no proofs of G2 that avoid encoding of syntax. But, it is still possible to show this way that $T$ doesn't prove that there is a transitive model of $T$ (using regularity).
Jul 12, 2020 at 20:44 comment added Monroe Eskew I think the first chapter of Kunen’s Set Theory has a good sketch of the argument.
Jul 12, 2020 at 19:25 comment added Ali @MonroeEskew : I see... Are there any books or articles covering these arguments or related concerns?
Jul 12, 2020 at 19:06 comment added Monroe Eskew You can do the argument referring directly to finite sequences of symbols, meaning some natural coding in hereditarily finite sets. So you can avoid prime factorization etc.
Jul 12, 2020 at 18:36 comment added Ali @MonroeEskew : I don't mean we shouldn't use any coding and prove the incompleteness theorem from scratch, obviously we need at least definition of the numbers in ZF! In my question i ask for a proof with those basic coding needing for defining some notions like model and satisfaction from ZF axioms.By some coding of formula i mean, some extra coding for helping us in the proof like Godel numbering.
Jul 12, 2020 at 18:20 comment added Monroe Eskew You don’t have to code with natural numbers, but you have to use something.
Jul 12, 2020 at 18:14 comment added Ali @MonroeEskew : Do we need some coding like Godel numbering to define the notions of model and satisfaction? Aren't those definable via axioms of ZF?
Jul 12, 2020 at 18:00 comment added Monroe Eskew Won’t some coding of formulas be inevitable? Even if you want it to be model-theoretic, you have to define what is a theory and what it means for a model to satisfy it.
