A Non-Formulable Theorem: A Fundamental Limit of Finite Syntactic Systems and Its Consequences for Security and AI

For every coherent and sufficiently expressive finite syntactic system S, we prove the existence of at least one theorem that S cannot produce autonomously. The result is a metatheorem: it proves the existence of a theorem, and applies to every finite syntactic system - security mechanisms, AI systems, formal verifiers, legal systems, economic models, and the formal system in which it is itself proved. --- Source: arXiv:2609.04086v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/2609.04086v1 PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/...
