Indeed. Good summary, thanks. Third person necessity and contingency
will then be defined by the (Sigma1) provability predicate of
Godel-Lob, and the n-version persons by intensional (modal) variants of
it.
Note that Fermat-Wiles, Riemann, Godlbach, Euclide's are all Sigma1.
Arithmetical realism bears also on the independence of the truth of
Pi1, Sigma2, Pi2, ...SigmaN, PiN ..., sentences, but I have no problem
with the lobian machine which have also "realist" analytical beliefs
(where we can quantify on sets).
Nice example of non P1 or Sigma1 conjectures is given by the famous
Syracuse question:
