    Ideally, I wouldn’t have to see the proofs for everything, just recognize the observable math.

    The problem with the “This statement is false” could simply be coupled by something akin to imaginary numbers. Paradoxes can be described mathematically without being solvable.

      Oh, brother, no. Godel’s incompleteness theorem is a problem much bigger than imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers are just something we initially didn’t account for but we can (and did) fix. Godel’s theorem means everything may just be broken and we just don’t know.
