Abstract

Gödel’s Second Incompleteness Theorem states axiom systems of sufficient strength are unable to verify their own consistency. We will show this theorem does not preclude axiomizations for a computer’s floating point arithmetic from recognizing their own consistency, in certain well defined partial respects.
