Ron,

     So, Godel's Theorem is a theorem on mathematics only?  That's clears events up, for I know Platt likes to use it from time to time, and it's not for mathematical reasons.  It states two fallacies below.  Are both fallacies in math only?  Can you explain axiom, axiomatic systems, and premise?  These three concepts.  You have a good way of explaining such concepts in a down to earth manner.

SA,
Axioms are systems of assumptions for matters of convenience.
Example, in simple math we assume that whole numbers exist.
That they exist as separate and distinct entities.
This is convenient for simple abstractions of number
(how many apples we have..ect.)

This use has value and meaning in a convenient manner.
But, when it comes to philosophy and accurate scientific
description,  separate and distinct entities do not exist.
We find that a more accurate way of description is interpreting
entities as a pattern of experience.

Thinking in terms of analytic axioms as properties of reality
introduces falliciouse assumptions generated by those axioms
that create them.

In effect you are building assumptions from assumptions with
no regard as to the use of the initial assumptive purpose
and taking THAT as representative of the function of reality.

ALL of it is based on an intellectual tool of convenience,
one based on the assumption of whole and distinct "entities" 


So in effect yes Gödel's theorem applies only to mathematical
systems, systems of formal analytical logic. which are based
on convenience NOT reality.
