An investigation of why Gödel's writings contain so few references to Tarski's work -- in particular, the latter's definition of truth. The author discusses some previous attempts by others to account for this lacuna, but he deems those explanations insufficient.

Beyond Substitution—An Antipositionalist's Guide to Subtraction—
ABSTRACT Existing accounts of relations do not properly account for variably polyadic relations: they fail to capture the relationship between completions of the same relation by different numbers of relata. This paper develops a fully general account of such relations by adding an operation of subtraction to the antipositionalist theory of relations ...

Weak, Strong and Mixed Extensions of Relations to Spaces of Ultrafilters
