Abstract
- Logical systems such as Q 0 ∞ have infinitely many theorems—indeed, infinitely many essentially different theorems—but these theorems are finitely generated. There may be infinitely many axioms, but a finite description in the meta-language suffices to specify them. Wffs are finite, and proofs are finite. Such features seem to be inescapable characteristics of logical systems which can actually be used by finite, mortal men.
