- TL;DR Summary
- Is the name of a codification the same as the codification?
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985)
(I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box.
The overline is assigning a name.
The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term?
Thanks in advance.
