Abstract

This paper proposes a quantifiable framework for undecidability based on G¨odel’s incompleteness theorems, formalizing the dynamic equilibrium mechanism among formal system complexity (C), logical rigidity (L), and expressive demand (D) through axiomatic modeling. We define the undecidability measure function: U(C) = 1+β·L·D−m−α·Ck Theoretical analysis reveals that undecidability exhibits power-law growth with complexity (nonlinear acceleration when k > 1), jointly suppressed by logical constraints (L = log(1/ϵ)) and demand dilution effects (D−m). By calibrating parameters (α,β,k,m) and cross-scale validation (propositional logic → ZFC set theory), the model error remains stable within 4.8% at a 95% confidence interval (maximum residual < 0.05σ). Key breakthroughs include: 1. Complexity Integral C = w(a) · rank(a)dµ(a) A Axiomatic measure space is rigorously defined, with independence weights w(a) = 1/rank(a) resolving axiom fragmentation. 2. Constraint Mechanism Quantification Logical rigidity L = log(1/ϵ) is constructed via Gentzen ordinal analysis, calibrating contradiction thresholds (e.g., ϵ ≤ 10−6 for ZFC, L = 13.8), overcoming qualitative limitations in traditional frameworks. 3. Critical Phenomena Prediction The G¨odel boundary condition Cc = (βLD−m/α)1/k is derived. When C > Cc, systems enter an undecidable phase, with Lyapunov stability analysis proving ∂U/∂C → ∞. The proposed Triple Balance Law: min Ck L·D−m, L C , D log C ≥γ provides a quantitative tool for AI reliability assessment (e.g., ResNet-50 reduces U(C) from 0.89 to 0.61 with 14% accuracy gain). The framework demonstrates universality in quantum logic, high-energy physics, and beyond.
