The problem of infinity in mathematics is one of those “eternal problems” to which the science comes back on each coil of its development. Ancient greek mathematician Euclid (nearby 340–287 B.C.) introduced the Axiom 8 “And the Whole is more then its Part” [1, I, p. 15]. On the boundary of XIX and XX centuries founders of the sets theory rejected Euclid’s Axiom 8 by ignoring (or explisitly); an equivalency between any set and its own part has referred to as characteristic property of infinite sets. P. Cohen considered the existence of infinite collections as the most important issue, he recognized the neces- sity of inserting infinity axiom and emphasized, that “...by tradition the atti- tude to infinite sets was the criterion of discrepancy between mathematicians” [2, IV.13]. We think, at an axiomatization of the sets theory Euclid’s Axiom 8 was incorrectly transformed into “an axiom of infinity”. Any formulation of Axiom infinity [3, S. 11], as well as Peano’s Axiom of natural numbers set infinity [3, S. 12], is of potential character. Now, we formulate first statement. Hypothesis 1. Any infinite set is of potential nature. 2. Remaining within the framework of Halmosh sets naive theory [3], we proved Euclid’s Axiom 8 in the form of following theorem. Theorem 1. B ⊂ A ⇒ (∀ϕ : A → B∃(a,q),a,q ∈ A : a 6= q & ϕ(a)= ϕ(q)). Theorem 1 has the following canonically short form: B ⊂ A ⇒ ¬(A ∼ B), in particular, q∈ / A ⇒ ¬(A ∼ (A ∪ {q})). This theorem demonstration contains, 2 Logic and Foundations in particular, references to Axiom of Choice [3, S. 15], the concept of exact rearrangement of set A and concept of the maximal element of chains family formed from set A subsets and others too. Remaining within Theorem 1, now we formulate the following two sugges- tions: Hypothesis 2. Euclid Axiom 8 is unprovable without Axiom of Choice. Statement 1. The power sets theory and continuum hypothesis ([2]–[3]) has new way of development with Euclid’s Axiom 8.

The Eilenberg machines model has interesting properties. First, It is general because it unifies most of the devices having a finite-state control (including Turing machines). Second, it is expres- sive thanks to the following modularity property: an Eilenberg machine defines a characteristic relation that shall be used in another Eilenberg machine. We study the effective fragment of Eilenberg machines for which we propose a sim- ulation engine [2, 3]. The correction of the simulation engine is proved using a proof assistant. This approach of effective Eilenberg machines may be used to solve properly problems which use multiple stages of traditional finite-state machines. Logic and Foundations 3 References [1] S.

In informal language, the consistency of S shall be expressed by the sentence: there are no meaningful formulae y and z where z is the negation of y such that both are theorems of S. we then show that the formalized consistency statement for the arbitrary system S cannot be proved in a certain sub-theory T of Peanos arithmetic. This arithmetic theory T with + and ., is much stronger than Q. It will follow that the consistency of Q formalized in the manner we do, cannot be proved in T, let alone in Q itself, which is a sub-theory of T. When formalizing the notion of theorem-hood in any arithmetic system with + and ., we have to refer to sequences in the formal language, since a proof is a sequence of formulae. In the construction of the proof-predicate the usual method is to allot (recursively) a single Godel number (g.n.) to each formula and then a single g.n. to a sequence of formulae (forming a proof, say of the last formula ). This is what we have done. The novelty in our present construction is that instead of codifying sequences by single natural numbers, we use a number triple. This device enables us, as we shall see, to do away with the need to find a defining formula for the recursive function xy. With a Godel triple to codify a sequence, our proof-predicate is a formula ProvS (c,d,l,y) with 4 free variables, 3 of which are thought of as always appearing in a bunch. ProvS (c,d,l,y) says that the triple < c,d,l > yields a sequence of expressions (i.e. their g.n.’s) constituting a proof in S of the formulae with g.n.y. Thus the triple < c,d,l > 4 Logic and Foundations merely indicates a sequence of expressions without mentioning anything about it being finite or infinite. We shall exploit this to our advantage, using an infinite sequence of expressions to constitute a proof of its last member. ❖ ❖ ❖ Analogy of Hilbert’s Tenth Problem in Observers Mathematics
