Goldbach is unknowable if it is true because

That is not known. Perhaps there is an unknown proof that proves it.
That is a correct correction.
However, my correction is not complete. The question how your system

It is hard-coded to know that the truth value is not
currently known.
So when the truth value is found out
Everything else about the Goldbach conjecture is also hard-coded
such as the biography of Goldbach.
More about those things may also be discovered. It is even possible

Goldbach is known and possibly unknowable.

That there was no actual evidence of election fraud
that could have possibly changed the results of the
2020 presidential election.
Even the Heritage Foundation agrees
---the authors of project 2025---
Never any evidence of election fraud
that could possibly change the results:
1,600 total cases of election fraud in every election since 1981 https://electionfraud.heritage.org/search
If we could somehow magically increase these cases 15-fold
to give Trump the votes he needed in the closest two states
Trump was short 11,779 votes in Georgia
Trump was short 10,457 votes in Arizona
He would still lose the general election.
Trump is just copying Hitler's "big lie"

The truth value of the Goldbach conjecture might

Not exactly. When fully implemented it can conclusively

otherwise are liars and not merely mistaken.
In order to prove that climat change is true it is sufficient to
collect statistics of observation for a sufficiently long time
(at least 50 years, preferably 100) and to compute trends and

1,600 total cases of election fraud in every election since 1981
https://electionfraud.heritage.org/search
That is known cases. Unknown cases are not listed.
If we could somehow magically increase these cases 15-fold
to give Trump the votes he needed in the closest two states
Trump was short 11,779 votes in Georgia
Trump was short 10,457 votes in Arizona
Both number are small in comparison to the total number of voters.
He would still lose the general election.
And there are other states.
Trump is just copying Hitler's "big lie"
What has worked before can be expected to work again.
Anyway, you have not shown that your proposed system could add
anything to what is already known and understood.

It is hard-coded to know that the truth value is not

So when the truth value is found out
It is updated.
