Consistency of bounded finitely axiomatized set theories [closed]

If $T$ is a consistent first order finitely axiomatized set theory having an axiom that defines V and the rest of axioms are all of the form: $\forall x1 ..xn \in V \exists x \in V \forall y \in V ( …

Ultraconsistency & Truth

Let $D$ be an effectively generated set of recursive ordinals that contains $0$ and that is closed under an effectively defined ordinal successor function "$+1$" and that have a well defined relation …

IF we weaken comprehension of second order logic to first order formulas, would the resultin...

Take second order logic, weaken the comprehension axiom schemata to using only FIRST order formulas; that is, $\phi(x_1,..,x_n)$ in the referred article is restricted to be a first order formula. Keep …

Can this Rosser-like trick also work as a proof of the first incompleteness theorem?

The context of this question is related to proving the first incompleteness by alternative ways related to Rosser's trick. So, for a proof by negation, we assume that $T$ is complete, and fulfills Göd …

Let's denote a sentence $P$ as "weak Godel sentence of theory $T$", if and only if $$[\neg (T \vdash P) \wedge \neg (T\vdash \neg P)] \wedge [Con(T)=Con(T+P) \wedge Con(T)=Con(T+ \neg P)] $$ In Engli …

Can this provide an example of incompleteness under the assumption of mere consistency?

A try to capture the informal notion of "this sentence is not provable in less than $n$-many steps" where $n$ is a concrete natural. Use the diagonal lemma to coin the following sentences, per each co …

Why adhere to $\omega$-consistency with respect to Godel's proof of first incompleteness?

On MSE I've asked a question about why did Godel assume the theory in question to be $\omega$ consistent [on top of effectiveness] for his proof [actually the second part of his proof] of first incomp …

Can we effectively axiomatize a theory that proves the negation of its own Gödel's sentence?

For any consistent and effective theory $T$ fulfilling Gödel's criteria, let $G_T$ be the Gödel sentence of $T$, that is: $$ G_T \iff \neg \exists x: \operatorname{Proof}_T(x,\ulcorner G_T \urcorner)$ …

Can we have a consistent and effective (fulfilling Godel's criteria) first order theory $T$, that is both arithmetically unsound and $\omega$-inconsistent, and yet doesn't prove its own inconsistency …

Can we re-write every effective first order theory using finitely many primitives?

Let $T$ be an effectively generated (recursively enumerable) theory written in a first order language that has infinitely many extra-logical primitives. Is it always the case that there is a theory …

Can ZF be interpreted in a theory axiomatized by a version of replacement and infinity?

Dana Scott had once proved that Zermelo's set theory $``\text{Z}"$ can be interpretable in the first order set theory whose axioms are just the axioms of: Separation: if $\phi$ is a formula in which …

What is the consistency strength of definable axiomatization of ZFC?

Let $x^\phi$ be the set $x$ that is definable after the parameter free formula $\phi$, i.e. formally we have: $$\forall y (y \in x^{\phi} \leftrightarrow \phi(y))$$ Now by $\text{definable ZFC}$ it is …
