THE HITCHHIKER`S GUIDE TO THE INCOMPLETENESS
... Of course we want our world to be logical, i.e. that obeys simple logical rules. For example, if P , Q are true sentences in that world, then P ∧ Q is also true. Any logically valid sentence can be regarded as a logic axiom. See appendix for details. An interesting thing to note is that, there are n ...

A global convention The incompleteness theorems are going to tell us about the limitations of formal theories: very roughly, for any given arithmetically competent axiomatized theory T there will be truths of arithmetic it can’t prove. Evidently, if we are going to prove such results, it is going to ...

However that may be, certainly the structure isn't a sentence, let alone grammatical, meaningful or true, if the identity sign is flanked by something other than referring expre ...
