There is an infinity of way to encode "B". Some can be just
intensionally equivalent (different codes but same logic), or
extensionally equivalent but not intensionally equivalent, like Bp and
Bp & Dt. They prove the same arithmetical proposition, but obeys
different logic.
OK, do you not see that the infinity of ways that "B" can be
encoded makes the name of "B" ambiguous? The name of "B" is at most 1p;
a private name and thus subject to Wittgenstein's criticism.
