Here is my correction:       If Goldbach's truth value cannot be determined in a       finite number of steps then it is not a truth bearer       in PA, otherwise it is a truth-bearer in PA with an       unknown truth value.              This has no effect on my claim that I got rid of       Gödel Incompleteness.              When we change the foundation of formal systems       to proof theoretic semantics and add my truth       predicates then Gödel's claim of applying to       every formal system that can do a little bit of       arithmetic becomes simply false.              Every attempt at showing incompleteness |
