Addition and multiplication (i.e. arithmetic) over the integers are all that are necessary to express first order logic and allowed Gödel to express his incompleteness theorems at such a fundamental level. The logical power of arithmetic is likely why many seemingly simple questions about arithmetic can have very complicated answers or no definitive answers at all. |
