An alternative proof of Godel's first incompleteness theorem

arXiv:2308.10904

Abstract

This proof of Godel's first incompleteness theorem doesn't require omega-consistency, nor does it refer to codes of negated sentences as in Rosser's. It begins from where Godel's usual proof ends, and stalks it till it ends proving it.

5 pages, typos corrected, lemmas added, more uniform notation, clarifying notes added, the proof is essentially the same
