 [No title]
Post’s intention was to use his canonical system to decide whether a given string belongs to this formal system or not.
Post’s idea of expressions in a language is nothing but pure strings of symbols in an alphabet and all logical systems are nothing but a set of rules to manipulate these strings by how some strings can be transformed into others.
Post is not satisfied with this result and provides his own model which is easier than halting problem and have an enumerable set which could be recursively generated.
