Let us be genuinely modest. We know about nothing, and all we can do is agreeing on some
axioms.
A logicians conceit. We can agree ostensively.
Be it point, line, and god, reality, etc.
Thats why Gödel provided a proof of the existence of God. By formalising St-Anselm
definition of God, he illustrates the idea that we can be serious (modest, scientific)
when doing theology.
Is the God of Gödel coherent with comp?
St Anselm's proof is not a proof of the God of Abraham. Like you he, and Godel, use the
word God to imply a person, but the argument doesn't prove a person or even a singular.

This would mean we can do the Gödel proof in S4Grz, and I doubt this, so we can search
now if the machine believes in a slightly different notion than St-Anselm/Gödel.
