  1. On proofs of the incompleteness theorems based on Berry's paradox by Vopěnka, Chaitin, and Boolos.Makoto Kikuchi, Taishi Kurahashi & Hiroshi Sakai - 2012 - Mathematical Logic Quarterly 58 (4-5):307-316.
    By formalizing Berry's paradox, Vopěnka, Chaitin, Boolos and others proved the incompleteness theorems without using the diagonal argument. In this paper, we shall examine these proofs closely and show their relationships. Firstly, we shall show that we can use the diagonal argument for proofs of the incompleteness theorems based on Berry's paradox. Then, we shall show that an extension of Boolos' proof can be considered as a special case of Chaitin's proof by defining a suitable Kolmogorov complexity. We shall show (...)

  • On constructivity and the Rosser property: a closer look at some Gödelean proofs.Saeed Salehi & Payam Seraji - 2018 - Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 169 (10):971-980.
    The proofs of Kleene, Chaitin and Boolos for Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem are studied from the perspectives of constructivity and the Rosser property. A proof of the incompleteness theorem has the Rosser property when the independence of the true but unprovable sentence can be shown by assuming only the (simple) consistency of the theory. It is known that Gödel's own proof for his incompleteness theorem does not have the Rosser property, and we show that neither do Kleene's or Boolos' proofs. (...)
