Put and choose its Gödel sentence , so . The assumed reflection scheme gives the particular theorem
The given extension-provability implication is . The fixed-point equivalence gives , so these implications compose to
The supplied propositional tautology gives , and then yields . The first of the derivability conditions for gives , while its Gödel equivalence gives . Hence is inconsistent. By the deduction theorem for propositional logic,
This proof uses diagonalization and proof transfer for the extension, and invokes neither Löb's theorem nor the second incompleteness theorem.
