Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem
A mathematical theorem stating that any finite axiomatic system rich enough for arithmetic will contain true statements that cannot be proven within that system, implying that any conceptual scheme can only scratch the surface of reality.

A mathematical theorem stating that in any consistent formal system containing basic arithmetic, there are true statements that cannot be proven within the system. Penrose uses this as part of his argument for uncomputable aspects of consciousness, an argument Aaronson finds unsound.
