Pretty neat. I adapted the state management of hooks to Haskell a few years ago. Could be used for similar purposes, but there's no support for templating or styling yet: https://github.com/benweitzman/hooks

The gist of the argument is that addition + other operations on non-computable numbers (which the real numbers contain) require infinite algorithms or something similar (unlike addition on computable irrational numbers which may require infinite work, but the algorithms are finite). You can therefore get situations where, say, the tenths digit in a sum of non-computable numbers is not defined because of potentially infinite carries, and there's no way to determine if the sequence of carries terminates or not. He discusses the problem in the context of different representations of real numbers, including infinite decimals, cauchy sequences, and dedekind cuts etc. This is just the gist of it.

What if the voter doesn't deposit the receipt?

Applying the incompleteness theorem wouldn't say that every piece of complex code has unpredictable outcomes, but that there exists some pieces of code that have unpredictable outcome.

Seems like in this case the outcomes were entirely predicted by the "attacker".

How do you tell if something you're trying to determine as intelligent or not has formed a model?
