The thirst for a system that is uber to ratiocination is sourced from the instinct that no system that has integrity in its axioms does not contain undecidable propositions. The seeking of validity for the undecidable is the essence of the search for systems outside our rationally predicating ones that answer the deeper felt truths that must underline existence.

Existence only has a meaning in the perception of the rational being. Without the rational being's vanity of perception the universe has no reason. Therefore it might as well not exist.

A statement sometimes known as Gödel's second incompleteness theorem states that if number theory is consistent, then a proof of this fact does not exist using the methods of first-order predicate calculus. Stated more colloquially, any formal system that is interesting enough to formulate its own consistency can prove its own consistency iff (if and only if) it is inconsistent.
