undecidable
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From un- + decidable.
Senses: examples: text: The first-order procedure SP differs from the proposi-
 tional procedure CP°₁ in an essential feature. Namely, CP°₁
 always terminates while SP may run forever as we have seen with
 the example immediately after (3.7). This is not a specific
 defect of SP. Rather it is known that first-order logic is an
 undecidable theory while propositional logic is a decidable
 theory. This means that for the latter there are decision pro-
 cedures which for any formula decide whether it is valid or
 not — and CP°₁ in fact is such a decision procedure — while
 for the former such decision procedures do not exist in princi-
 ple. Thus SP, according to these results for which the reader
 is referred to any logic texts such as [End], [DrG] or [Lew],
 is of the kind which we may expect, it is a semi-decision
 procedure which confirms if a formula is valid but may run
 forever for invalid formulas. Therefore, termination by running
 out of time or space after any finite number of steps will
 leave the question for the validity of a formula unsettled. [...]
