In the previous blog post in this series, we looked at Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem, and came to the amazing conclusion that we can't compute certain kinds of functions in formal systems (like Javascript). Specifically, we looked at a special function, , which turned out to be non-computable. In case we forgot, the first incompleteness ...

I saw another article on Gödel's incompleteness theorems linked from Reddit today. It's a topic I've wanted to write about for some time. Although many articles do a decent job in giving an idea of what the big deal is (and this one is pretty good), they can sometimes give a misleading impression of what...

NB: I've opted to just get straight to the point with this post rather than attempting to introduce the subject first, so it may be of little interest to readers who aren't already interested in proving the completeness theorem for propositional logic. A PDF version of this document is available here. The key thing I...

[AI summary] The article explores the intersection of functional programming and logic through the lens of dependent types. It begins with foundational concepts like type constructors and inductive types, then delves into the Curry-Howard isomorphism, which links programs to mathematical proofs. The discussion covers how types represent propositions, functions as implications, and inductive types as proof strategies. Examples include defining logical relations like less than or equal to and equality, and demonstrating how to prove properties like universal quantification and mathematical identities. The article concludes with an overview of resources for further study in proof assistants like Coq and Idris, emphasizing the practical applications of dependent...
