ID: full-local-reflection-in-a-one-sentence-extension-is-inconsistent
Assume the Hilbert-Bernays-Löb derivability conditions and the diagonal lemma. If proves for every sentence , then . Take the single instance and discharge the assumption: . This propositionally implies , and Löb's theorem gives . A diagonal proof is also possible using the Gödel sentence of the extension and formalized proof transfer, without appealing to Löb's theorem.
