   *When we analyze this one statement made in isolation*   
      
   ...We are therefore confronted with a proposition which   
   asserts its own unprovability.  … (Gödel 1931:40-41)   
      
   G asserts its own unprovability.   
      
   G asserts that there are no sequence of inference   
   steps that prove that they themselves do not exist.   
      
   Nothing can prove that itself does not exist.   
   Any such proof would be self-refuting.
