Theorem quantgodel

Description: There can be no formula asserting its own non-universality, in parallel to bj-babygodel ; proof path is shorter but relying on a property of specialization which provability predicates do not have. For a matching proof, see quantgodelALT . (Contributed by Ender Ting, 9-May-2026)
