The author of "What Gödel Discovered" has a good point that

Gödel numbers are not a convenient representation of a

proposition of Russell's Principia Mathematica (PM). (Nor

are Gödel numbers adequate because they omit the order of a

proposition.)

Lisp expressions are an improvement. However, a Lisp

expression, as used in the article, is also not adequate

because it also omits the order of the proposition.

See the following for a high-level representation of

propositions of PM that includes the crucial orders on

proportions: https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3459566
