On How the Introducing of a New Function Symbol Into Arithmetic's Formalism Is Germane to Devising Axiom Systems that Can Appreciate Fragments of Their Own Hilbert Consistency

arXiv:1612.08071

Abstract

A new function primitive is proposed that almost achieves the combined efficiency of the addition, multiplication and successor growth operations. This function symbol enables the constructing of an "IQFS(PA+)" axiom system that can corroborate a fragmentary definition of its own Hilbert consistency, while it will simultaneously verify isomorphic counterparts of all Peano Arithmetic's theorems. Many propositions and intermediate results are also established. Only one intermediate result, which most readers will intuit should be true, does remain formally unproven.
