> Gödel incompleteness

I agree with your comment, FWIW - I have no idea what OP is trying to demonstrate - but to maybe suggest some context: Gödel incompleteness is a commonly suggested "proof" as to why computers can't be intelligent in the way that humans can, because (very very roughly) humans can "step out" of formal systems to escape the Gödel trap. Regardless of your feelings about AI it's a silly argument; I think possibly the popularizer of this line of thinking was Roger Penrose in "The Emperor's New Mind".

I haven't re-read Searle since college but as far as I recall he never brings it up.
