Finding reveals inherent limits of formal systems regarding unprovable truths in arithmetic, implying deeper mathematical insights.

The aim is to explore Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems and their implications for formal systems and their limits in provability.
Analyzed the implications of Gödel's First and Second Theorems on formal systems capable of arithmetic.
Discussed Gödel numbering and its role in constructing self-referential statements.
Examined the arithmetic hierarchy and the positioning of undecidable statements.
Gödel's First Theorem shows that for any consistent formal system capable of arithmetic, there are true statements that cannot be proven by that system.
Gödel's Second Theorem indicates that such a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency, affecting the understanding of formal knowledge limits.

Andrew Stewart Caldin (2026) studied this question.
