What is syntactic device?
A tool that can manipulate values, such as a computer or jeejah, is referred to as a syndev (syndev for short). Compare it to a semantic device, such as the human brain, which has the ability to manipulate values while also connecting them to more abstract concepts. If one views Gödel's [Completeness Theorem] as the tie that binds mathematics and computing science—which may be viewed as sister sciences—together, then the term "Syntactic Device" and its dualism with the concept of Semantic Device may have their roots in this dualism. In this context, computing science represents the syntactic aspect and mathematics the semantic aspect.
