A true mathematical statement Ψ with the predicate K of the current mathematical knowledge, where Ψ may be false in the future and does not express the current knowledge about the provability of any mathematical statements Ψ1,...,Ψn without K

Abstract

The theorem of Royer and Case states that there exists a limit-computable function β_1:N→N which eventually dominates every computable function δ_1:N→N. We present an alternative proof of this theorem. K denotes both the knowledge predicate satisfied by every currently known theorem and the finite set of all currently known theorems. The set K is time-dependent and publicly available. Any theorem of any mathematician from past or present forever belongs to K. We prove: (1) there exists a limit-computable function f:N→N of unknown computability which eventually dominates every function δ:N→N with a single-fold Diophantine representation. We present both constructive and non-constructive proof of (1). Statement (1) claims that there exists a function f:N→N such that (f is computable in the limit)∧(¬K(f is computable))∧(¬K(f is uncomputable))∧(f eventually dominates every function δ:N→N with a single-fold Diophantine representation). Since Martin Davis' conjecture on single-fold Diophantine representations disproves Statement (1), Statement (1) justifies the title of the article.
