Incompleteness imposes, at least formally, a soul (a first
person), an observer (a first person plural), a "god" (an
independent simple but deep truth) to any machine believing in the
RA axioms together with enough induction axioms. I know you
believe in them.
The lexicon is
p truth God
[]p provable Intelligible (modal logic, G and G*)
[]p & p the soul (modal logic, S4Grz)
[]p & <>t intelligible matter (with p sigma_1) (modal logic,

You need to study some math,
I have been wanting to but it seems such an uphill task. Yet, its
a mountain I would like to climb :)
7 + 0 = 7. You are OK with this? Tell me.
OK
Are you OK with the generalisation? For all numbers n, n + 0 = n.
Right?
Right :)
You suggest I begin with Set Theory?
No need of set theory, as I have never been able to really prefer one
theory or another. It is too much powerful, not fundamental. At some
point naive set theory will be used, but just for making thing easier:
it will never be part of the fundamental assumptions.
I use only elementary arithmetic, so you need only to understand the
following statements (and some other later):
x + 0 = x
x + successor(y) = successor(x + y)
Are you OK? To avoid notational difficulties, I represent the numbers
by their degree of parenthood (so to speak) with 0. Abbreviating s for
successor:
0, s(0), s(s(0)), s(s(s(0))), ...
Can you derive that s(s(0)) + s(0) = s(s(s(0))) with the statements
just above?

to see that this give eight quite different view the universal
machines develop on themselves.
Reminds me of this verse [http://quran.com/69/17 ]:
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of
your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
It is like that: The four first (plotinian) hypostases live
harmonically in the arithmetical heaven:
God
Terrestrial Intelligible Divine
Intelligible
Universal Soul
But then the Universal Soul falls, and you get the (four) matters,
and the "bastard calculus":
Intelligible terrestrial matter Intelligible
Divine matter
Sensible terrestrial matter Sensible Divine
matter
Here divine means mainly what is true about the machine/number and
not justifiable by the numbers.
It provides a universal person, with a soul, consistent
extensions, beliefs, and some proximity (or not) to God (which is
the "ultimate" semantic that the machine cannot entirely figure
out by herself (hence the faith).
Interesting!
All universal machine looking inward discover an inexhaustible
reality, with absolute and relative aspects.
Babbage discovered the universal machine, (and understood its
universality). The universal machine, the mathematical concept,
will be (re)discovered and made more precise by a bunch of
mathematical logicians, like Turing, Post, Church, Kleene.
You are using such a universal system right now, even plausibly two
of them: your brain and your computer. They are a key concept in
computer science. They suffer a big prize for their universality,
as it makes them possible to crash, be lied, be lost, be deluded.
They can know that they are universal, and so they can know the
consequences.
The religion which recognizes the universal machine and her
classical theology might be the one which will spread easily in the
galaxy in the forthcoming millenaries. (Independently of being true
or false, actually).

If you want to convince me, you have to first convince the
universal person associated to the Löbian machine, I'm afraid.
I am not pretending that the machine theology applies to us, but
it is a good etalon to compare the theologies/religions/reality-
conceptions. The problem is that we have to backtrack to Plato,
where what we see is only the border of something, that we can't
see, but yet can intuit and talk about (a bit like mathematics or
music)
