The Diagonal lemma says that for every one-variable formula $\theta (x)$ there is a sentence $\gamma$ such thatLet $d(n)$ be the computable function taking the code of a one-variable formula $\alpha (x)$ to the code of $\alpha (\bar{n})$. By the assumed representation theorem, choose a Sigma-1 formula $D(x,y)$ representing $d$. Given $\theta$, putand let $b=┌\beta ┐$. Taking $\gamma =\beta (\bar{b})$, representability proves in $T$ that the unique relevant $y$ is $d(b)=┌\gamma ┐$, yielding the required equivalence.

Suppose such a formula $\theta (x)$ existed. Apply the Diagonal lemma to $\neg \theta (x)$ to obtain a sentence $\sigma$ for whichBecause $M\models {\mathrm{PA}}^{-}$, the equivalence holds in $M$. But the defining property of $\theta$ says $M\models \theta (┌\sigma ┐)$ exactly when $M\models \sigma$, producing $M\models \sigma$ exactly when $M/\models \sigma$, a contradiction.

The Diagonal lemma states that for every formula $\theta (x)$ with one free variable there is a sentence $\gamma$ such thatThe same conclusion holds in every theory extending the arithmetic needed to formalize substitution.

Consistency of $P{A}^{-}$ makes $A$ and $B$ disjoint. Suppose a recursive set $C$ separated them, and let $R(x)$ represent its total characteristic function in $P{A}^{-}$. By the Diagonal lemma, choose a sentence $\sigma$ satisfyingPut $n=┌\sigma ┐$. If $n\in C$, representability gives $P{A}^{-}⊢R(\bar{n})$ and hence $P{A}^{-}⊢\neg \sigma$, so $n\in B$, contradicting $B\cap C=\varnothing$. If $n\notin C$, representability gives $P{A}^{-}⊢\neg R(\bar{n})$ and hence $P{A}^{-}⊢\sigma$, so $n\in A\subseteq C$, again a contradiction. Therefore $A$ and $B$ are recursively inseparable.
