Write for the arithmetical sentence asserting -provability of . If , the first derivability condition gives . The stipulated fixed-point equivalence also gives . This contradicts consistency. Conversely an inconsistent classical theory proves every sentence, including . Thus
Only the direction from an actual proof to its formalized provability is used here. There is no inference from a theorem to a theorem , and no assumption that every theorem of is true.
