Considering three levels of awareness. Have you anything on: The Imagined, The imaginable and The unimaginable.

Certainly! Here’s some information on the three levels of awareness you mentioned:
- The Imagined: This refers to things that are entirely fabricated in the mind, such as fictional characters, stories, or scenarios that are not based in reality. These things exist only in the imagination and have no physical or tangible existence.
- The Imaginable: This refers to things that are possible to imagine or conceive of, even if they may not currently exist in reality. For example, it is imaginable that humans may one day colonize other planets, even though we have not yet achieved this feat.
- The Unimaginable: This refers to things that are beyond the realm of imagination or conception. These might include things that are currently unknown or impossible to comprehend, such as the nature of the universe before the Big Bang or the existence of other dimensions beyond our own.
It’s worth noting that what falls into each of these categories may vary depending on the individual and their experiences and perspectives. What one person might consider unimaginable, another may be able to conceive of.

How about: The concieved, the unconcieved and the unconcievable.

Sure, I can provide some information on those three levels of awareness as well:
- The Conceived: This refers to things that have been thought of or formulated in the mind, but may not yet exist in reality. For example, a scientist might conceive of a new theory or hypothesis, but it may require further research and testing before it can be proven or accepted as true.
- The Unconceived: This refers to things that have not yet been thought of or formulated in the mind. These might include new ideas, concepts, or inventions that have not yet been imagined or discovered.
- The Unconceivable: This refers to things that are beyond the realm of what can be conceived or imagined. These might include things that are logically or physically impossible, such as a square circle or a perpetual motion machine that violates the laws of thermodynamics.
As with the previous set of categories, what falls into each of these categories may vary depending on the individual and their experiences and perspectives. What one person might consider unconceivable, another might see as a challenge to be tackled.

Certainly! Gödel’s incompleteness theorems are a pair of mathematical theorems that were proven by the Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel in 1931. The theorems have important implications for the foundations of mathematics, as well as for the philosophy of science and the nature of truth.
The first incompleteness theorem states that in any formal system that is powerful enough to express basic arithmetic (such as Peano arithmetic), there will be statements that are true, but that cannot be proven within the system itself. In other words, there will always be true mathematical statements that are unprovable using the rules of the system. This result has important implications for the notion of mathematical certainty, as it shows that there are limits to what can be proven within a formal system.
The second incompleteness theorem is a stronger result that shows that within such a system, it is not possible to prove the system’s own consistency (i.e., that it does not contain any contradictions). This means that any formal system that is powerful enough to express basic arithmetic is necessarily incomplete and inconsistent to some degree. This has important implications for the foundations of mathematics, as it shows that there can be no ultimate, unassailable foundation for mathematics.
Gödel’s theorems have also been interpreted more broadly as having implications for the nature of truth and the limits of human knowledge. The theorems suggest that there are always true statements that are beyond our reach, and that there are limits to what can be known or proven using logical or formal methods. This has led some philosophers to argue that there may be fundamental limits to what we can know about the world, and that our understanding of truth and knowledge is necessarily incomplete.
