@SimplyBeautifulArt As I said in my question, assume that this is a question of the one who knows little mathematics (a bit higher than high school mathematics).

@SimplyBeautifulArt <− @MathematicsAminPhysics: I agree with SBA's comment here, but I understand that perhaps you do not grasp the notion that existence of mathematical objects can imply many other things (as I have explained above), so one cannot say so easily that other things that appear unrelated to the Godel sentence are not related. Of course, you can prove the incompleteness theorem non-constructively without using the Godel sentence (see my profile).
But Godel's aim was not just to prove the incompleteness theorem for classical arithmetic but also ensure that his proof was intuitionistically valid. My proof, being non-constructive, would not fulfill that part of the goal. The Godel sentence is an explicit sentence that can be output by a program given any formal system, and I can write such a program!

@amWhy @SimplyBeautifulArt @Did: This context-less question is ready for deletion.
And this PSQ also can be deleted.

The following answers are of bad qualities; some of them are even nonsense: math.stackexchange.com/a/2050794/9464; math.stackexchange.com/a/1993679/9464; math.stackexchange.com/a/2146560/9464;

@Jack Please continue mentioning such posts here. There are a couple of us who are committed to assessing them and removing junk. If we disagree then we will discuss. =)
@Jack I took some time before deciding that the question is like a crank post and not worth keeping. If people want it back they can undelete and I won't stop them. =)
@Jack: The rest are deleted. Do you mind helping to downvote and delete the nonsense post about infinity starred in the side-bar?
 
3:45 PM
Oh, hello and welcome @Jack
@Jack jeez, nothing left for me
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt There is. See the two bad questions I left for you? =)
Oh wait you already voted haha..

Here are another two: math.stackexchange.com/q/1617550/9464; math.stackexchange.com/q/1669756/9464; Despite the good qualities of some answers there, I have no idea what the questions are talking about.

@user21820 I will take a look at that answer later.
 
@Jack The reason I deleted is that it seems none of the answers except this one explicitly state clearly that the question is nonsense. Especially when the answerer's reputation is high, it gives a false impression that the question is somehow meaningful and not just junk.
@Jack Thank you. Please do. It's been sitting around for a long time and not enough people want to get rid of it. Probably all its upvotes came from the HNQ drive-by visitors.

I have seen enough this "Taylor formula" nonsense: math.stackexchange.com/a/1847262/9464

Q: What is $5/2$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{13}$?

MathanielThis might be a silly question, and if so I'm sorry. I just can't work it out.

Q: Simple group theory question.

MathanielIs 5 a prime in $\mathbb{Z}_5$?

You posted links to many posts that deserved to be dealt with, deleted. But it is troubling that 90% of the posts you linked to are from "self-aware-user". I know you likely meant well, and I'm glad you're here, and hope you frequent CRUDE. But deleting so many of one user's post risks being seen as "targeting" a user. In any case, welcome!
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt voted accordingly,. Only one more close vote needed to close.
 
@amWhy is closed by the time you commented ;P
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt Of course... via telepathy, I suggested Shaun add the last close vote! :P
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt Yup
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt 2 votes, one more needed.
@SimplyBeautifulArt, @Did The "problem statement" you post above is open for delete votes (Mine was first!)

Q: Computing the limit of a certain function.

IdonotknowCould anyone tell me please why the value of this limit is equal to the given values? $$f(x)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{x^n}{1+x^n}=\begin{cases}1/2,&x=1\\0,&x\ne1\end{cases}$$ I am asking the previous question because I was tryng to understand the solution of this question:

 
8:41 PM
@amWhy you can unpin now
 
8:56 PM
I have not pinned my last question listed above. I did pin your question, which you could easily have unpinned. But I did so, as requested, @SimplyBeautifulArt.
 
9:15 PM
@amWhy Actually, I don't know how to unpin D:
 
There's an arrow pointing down when you hover over a pinned post. Click on it, and you have the option to unpin it. (I think this is a feature for room owners, and likely available to anyone's own pinned comments).
 
@amWhy Usually for me it has the option to pin it, unless I was the one who pinned it to begin with
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt Oh, I'm talking about the pinned messages to the right of comments. For example, on Martin's pinned comment, when you hover over it, an upside-down triangle appears after his username. Click on it, and at the bottom of the menu, you can "unpin" the comment, and you can cancel stars.
 
@amWhy OH!
okay, thanks @amWhy
 
@SimplyBeautifulArt :D

@amWhy, @Simply Beautiful Art: No hard feelings at all:-) I was just too busy to read all the comments and replies... I actually agreed with the message so that I thought it might be appropriate to post a question on meta. (P.S. I'm not very familiar with the chatroom and still learning how to use it.)
 
@Jack o/
Before you ask:

o = head
/ = arm waving
o/ = someone waving an arm at you
