Gödel refers to Kurt Gödel, an influential logician and mathematician known for his incompleteness theorems. His work fundamentally changed the understanding of mathematical logic and the limitations of formal systems, showing that within any consistent axiomatic system, there are statements that cannot be proven or disproven using the rules of the system itself, which directly ties into the study of primitive recursive functions and their relationship to computability.
congrats on reading the definition of Gödel. now let's actually learn it.
