  1 -> 0 = 0
What does this mean? Is the 0 after the equals the antecedent? Consequent?

(1 -> 0) = 0.

In other words, (true implies false) is false.

"is false" doesn't mean anything in Godel's system. That's too high level and imprecise. We're dealing with only symbol manipulation here. We only have provability (which really is "there exists a derivation for") - we don't have "truth".
