ℹ️ What is Arithmetization?

Arithmetization is a technique that assigns unique numbers to mathematical symbols and formulas. This allows us to treat statements about mathematics as mathematical objects themselves!

This concept is crucial in proving Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems and understanding computational complexity.
