P = If a man is bachelor he is unhappy
Q= if a man is unhappy he dies young

R
----------------

or

please explain

In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
