For the first theorem only the first and third conditions are needed. The condition that T is ω-consistent is generalized by the condition that if for every formula φ, if T proves Prov(#(φ)), then T proves φ. Note that this indeed holds for an ω-consistent T because Prov(#(φ)) means that there is a number coding for th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert–Bernays_provability_conditions |
