      On the proofs of some formally unprovable propositions and prototype proofs in type theory (English)

      The author examines some specific limits of the formalization of logic and mathematics in order to give insight into and encourage a broadening of tools for formal proofs. The role of mathematical induction and well-orderedness in proofs is discussed in great detail, but there is no discussion of the implications of the logical equivalence of mathematical induction and well-orderedness. The author concludes that the foundation of mathematics lies in logic, formalisms and regularities of phenomenal space. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0988.00060].
