Productive set
Uniformly diagonalize against the formula expressing membership in We​ to obtain a sentence saying that its own code is not in We​. If every enumerated sentence is true, this new sentence cannot be enumerated, and hence is true. Its code is a computable new element of arithmetic truth outside We​.
