I am pretty sure the critical strip has been squeezed but I have no
references under the hand. I will look forward for them and I will let
you know.

I don't see where. Actually if someone prove RH with any reasonably
consistent strong axiom, he/she will prove that RH is not refutable by
Peano Arithmetic (PA), and that would show that RH is true, given that
if RH is false, PA can prove it with finitary means.
(RH is for Riemann hypothesis)

I don't know what you mean by *outside* of the realm of undecidable.
(Note that "undecidability" is a relative notion, unlike
uncomputability which is absolute (through Church's thesis). I will
come back on this in my post for George (in may).
