This page is just a rewritten version of the proof of the diagonalization lemma from Yanofsky's paper. There are some parts I found difficult to understand/gaps that I thought should be filled, so this version will hopefully be much more complete.

Theorem (Diagonalization lemma). Let T be some nice theory (I don't remember the exact conditions, but Peano Arithmetic or Robinson Arithmetic would work). For any single-place formula E(x) with x as its only free variable, there exists a sentence (closed formula) C such that TCE(C)
