Peano Arithmetic (PA) can prove any individual Goodstein sequence reaches zero but cannot prove it for all natural numbers without a stronger system like ZF set theory.

The concept of ordinals and transfinite induction are crucial for understanding and proving the termination of Goodstein sequences, but PA isn't strong enough to fully prove transfinite induction for certain ordinals.

PA can encode computations and logic, allowing for the creation of proofs within its system; this makes it possible for PA to explore mechanical proofs for particular Goodstein sequences.
