Non-Transferability in Communication Channels and Tarski`s Truth Theorem
Abstract
This article explores the concept of transferability within communication channels, with a particular focus on the inability to transmit certain situations through these channels. The Channel Non-Transferability Theorem establishes that no encoding-decoding mechanism can fully transmit all propositions, along with their truth values, from a transmitter to a receiver. The theorem underscores that when a communication channel attempts to transmit its own error state, it inevitably enters a non-transferable condition. I argue that Tarski`s Truth Undefinability Theorem parallels the concept of non-transferability in communication channels. As demonstrated in this article, the existence of non-transferable codes in communication theory is mathematically equivalent to the undefinability of truth as articulated in Tarski`s theorem. This equivalence is analogous to the relationship between the existence of non-computable functions in computer science and G\"odel`s First Incompleteness Theorem in mathematical logic. This new perspective sheds light on additional aspects of Tarski`s theorem, enabling a clearer expression and understanding of its implications. Keywords: Non-Transferability, Channel Theory, Tarski`s Truth Theorem, Semantic.
