Positive introspection
ID: positive-introspection
Positive introspection says that a boxed assertion can itself be boxed. For an arithmetical provability predicate it is the third of the Hilbert-Bernays-Löb derivability conditions: provability of implies provability of the assertion that is provable. It follows from formalized Sigma-1 completeness when provability assertions are Sigma-1. It is not the reflection principle .
