hi,

Thanks for the replies,a few more queries.

By principle of what?

Isn't that the reason we call it 'undecidable',put it
in an undeciable list which is the truth.
We can actually write these symbols down,it will be
true for some and false for some

eg: If we say-For a context free grammar G, L(G) is
ambigious.This is true for some G and false for G,If
we ask a turing machine to solve this question,it
can't because there is no algorithm to determine the
statement is true or false. A function is turing
computable only if for every element in the domain,the
function's value can be computed with a Turing
machine.
The domain is important,for sime G we get True and
some G we get false.By the defenition of turing
complenetess,since we cannot show it is true or false
for every element in the domain,it is not turing
computable and hence undecidable.We can write down the
symbols but it does n't mean any thing.
