The concept of truth in a finite universe

Author:Raatikainen, P

Article Title:The concept of truth in a finite universe

Abstract:
The prospects and limitations of defining truth in a finite model in the same language whose truth one is considering are thoroughly examined. It is shown that in contradistinction to Traski's undefinability theorem for arithmetic, it is in a definite sense possible in this case to define truth in the very language whose truth is in question.
