Gödel's second result is false for foundational theories.
Foundational theories can in fact prove their own consistency.
However, the self-proof of consistency is not very convincing
because the proof is valid even if the theory is inconsistent.
Fortunately, there is another way to prove consistency by
showing that a theory has a mathematical model.
