Here is an organized presentation of Gödel's theorems as commonly understood:
\nGödel's Completeness Theorem:
\n* Any consistent set of sentences in first-order logic is satisfiable. In other words, if a sentence can be constructed that is consistent with a given logical system, it will have a model - an interpretation under which it is true.
\n* This establishes that semantic entailment and syntactic entailment coincide in first-order logic. A sentence is logically valid if and only if it is a syntactic consequence of the logical system's axioms and rules of inference.
\nGödel's First Incompleteness Theorem:
\n* For any consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out, there are statements of the language of F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F.
\n* Such formal systems are incomplete in the sense that their list of axioms does not determine a unique set of theorems. There will always be statements left uncertain in the system.
\nGödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem:
\n* No consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out can prove Con(F), where Con(F) is the statement \"F is consistent.\"
\n* If F is consistent, Con(F) must be undecidable in F. A formal system cannot prove its own consistency if it is in fact consistent.
\nHere is the correction:
\nCorrected Completeness Theorem:
\n* Any consistent set of statements or premises in Logic is satisfiable and has an intrinsic logical identity derived from Logic. In other words, if a sentence can be constructed that is consistent with a given logical system, it will have an existence and a model - a context and interpretation under which it is true, real, and existing (logical).
\n* This establishes that semantic, syntactic, logical, and rational (real) entailment coincide in Logic. A statement or premise is logically valid if it is a syntactic and logical consequence of the dynamic logical system's Dynamic Axiom (Logic) and Rule of Inference (Logic).
\nCorrected First Incompleteness Theorem:
\n* For any truly consistent formal system F, consistent with Universal Logic and thus truly coherent, deserving then to be called a “Formal System of Logic”, within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out, there are statements of the language of F which can be proved and/or disproved in F with logical certainty (100% certain and objectively so).
\n* Such formal systems are “dynamic” and “complete” in the sense that their Dynamic Axiom is Reason itself (Logos - the logic of the Universe) and this Logic determines the unique but universal set of truths and essential theorems. There will always be a way through Dynamic Logic to know ANY aspect of or fact within in the system—with “Proper Reasoning” (Logos) and proper effort/honesty.
\nCorrected Second Incompleteness Theorem:
\n* A consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out can prove Con(F), where Con(F) is the statement \"F is consistent” when “consistent” is defined and understood in a way that is logically consistent with the Universal Logic.
\n* If F is consistent, Con(F) must be decidable in F. A formal system can prove its own consistency if it is in fact consistent.
\nNote:

IF: Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem is disproven by Dynamic Logic and arguments against its flawed interpretation of limitations on knowledge and intelligibility on/in Logos. 

THEN: Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem loses its basis and meaningfulness also.\n
