Then you reject the excluded middle principle. With A representing an arbitrary arithmetical sentence, you stop believing that (A or ~A) is true independently of our means to prove A or to prove ~A. You abandon arithmetical realism (and thus Church thesis, and computationalisme) which gives the reductio ad absurdum conclusion.
