1 If we assume the consistency of elementary number theory, then we can show that the predicate P used in Rosser's undecidable sentence ~P(a) is equivalent to Gödel's predicate “Bew.” But the sentences ~Bew (b) and ~P(a) are not thereby equivalent, since the number-designating expressions a and b involved are names for different integers.
