Dear Stephen,
Thanks for your comments and helps in English. I corrected some points as in
the LaTeX file attached.

This should be read

The point in this problem would be to show that one i.e. observer can
construct a proposition that proves the existence of the exterior $E$. I
changed the descriptions in sections 2 and 5 as in the attached file.

The understanding here seems typical for physicists who do not understand what
is formal theory or system. Even in Princeton when Goedel was an associated
professor yet many years after his proof of incompletness, some professor said
in front of him that logic did not make any progress since the age of
Aristotle. Many of today's physicists are the same as that "some (stupid)
professor."
