You say :
*"... by “encapsulate” I mean that the formal system in question has to run
entirely by itself, be consistent, and use a fundamentally finite set of
rules"*

Exactly what would it be worth for you if one shows you a formal system
that does run entirely by itself, be consistent, and use a fundamentally
finite set of rules?
