This diagonal sentence says that any proof of itself has a no-later proof of its negation. A proof of R contradicts finite verification that no earlier opposite proof exists. A proof of its negation, together with finite verification that no earlier proof of R exists, proves the displayed universal condition and hence R. Thus consistency alone excludes both proofs, strengthening the original omega-consistency form of incompleteness.
