Gödel vs Turing

Gödel: There exist true mathematical statements that cannot be proven within that system

$$\theta(x) = \mathrm{isNotProvable}(\text {encode} ( \text {decode} (x)(x)))$$

$\theta(\text{encode}(\theta))$ is true by not provable.

Turing: There is no algorithm that can decide whether a given program will halt?

$$\theta(x) = \mathrm{isHaltable}(\text {decode} (x), x) ? \text{loop} : \text{halt}$$

$\theta(\text{encode}(\theta))$ is not decidable.
