It is an assumption which swifly leads to a contradiction, therefore must
be false. 

You just said that the current foundation of logic leads to a
contradiction. Too many negations you got confused.

I did not say that, at least I didn't mean to.  You've trimmed the
context unusually severely, so it's difficult to see what I did say.

When we assume that only provable from the axioms
of PA derives True(PA, g) then (PA ⊢ g) merely means
~True(PA, g) THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY CONTRADICTION.

I can't make out your weasel word "derives".  There are true things in
any system which can't be proved in that system.  Unless that system is
inconsistent, or so restricted in scope that it can't do counting.

But you don't understand the concept of proof by contradiction, and
you lack the basic humility to accept what experts say, so I don't
expect this to sink in.

We know, by Gödel's Theorem that incompleteness does exist.  So the
initial proposition cannot hold, or it is in an inconsistent system.

Only on the basis of the assumption that
~Provable(PA, g) does not mean ~True(PA, g)

No, there is no such assumption.  There are definitions of provable and
of true, and Gödel proved that these cannot be identical.

*He never proved that they cannot be identical*

This is another example of lying by lack of expertise.  You are simply
wrong, there.

The way that sound deductive inference is defined
to work is that they must be identical.

Whatever "sound dedective inference" means.  If you are right, then
"sound deductive inference" is incoherent garbage.

A conclusion IS ONLY true when applying truth
preserving operations to true premises.

I'm not sure what that adds to the argument.

It is very stupid of you to say that Gödel refuted that.

It is a lie to allege I said that.  I didn't.  Gödel reached his result
precisely by following truth preserving transformations on known correct
premises.  All mathematicians do.
