Constructing Sentences
iii. Include in D a sentence to say that each integer is the successor of just one integer.
[Succ] "z$x zºx' Ù "xyz[zºx' Ù zºy' ® xºy]
iv. Include in D a sentence to say that if p, q are Naturals, p ¹ q, then D |_ "x xp ¹ xq.
[Diff] "xyz[x<y Ù y<z ® x<z] Ù "xy[x'ºy ® x<y] Ù "xy[x<y ® xºy]
4. Construct the sentence H that says (under A) that TM will halt.
. We know that TM will halt if at t it is in qi scanning Sj
and its machine table has no quadruple beginning (qi, Sj, ...)
. Such a missing instruction gives rise to a sentence including Qitx Ù Sjtx
. To state that TM gets to some such position we create the disjunction of all sentences
$tx[Qitx Ù Sjtx] for those missing instructions.
. If there are no missing instructions thatn TM will not halt
and for H we can use any falsehood, such as e ¹ e.
