Proof in what theory?

How does it matter?

Does any of this put food on the table?

Hahahaha.

The question was what is Goedel sentence. The formula I exhibited is
Goedel's formula in many kinds of logic including PA. If we take PA to
be purely syntactic then we can re-interpret the formula. But if we
want a sound system it is obviously not going to be PA.

Would you care to define "sufficiently similar" and show how your
conclusion follows?
