According to Wikipaedia...
In mathematical logic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_logic>, *Löb's
theorem* states that in a theory with Peano arithmetic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_arithmetic>, for any formula *P*, if it
is provable that "if *P* is provable then *P* is true", then *P* is
provable.
I.e.
[image: \mathrm{if}\ PA \vdash (Bew(\# P) \rightarrow P)\mathrm{, then}\ PA
\vdash P]

where *Bew*(#*P*) means that the formula *P* with Gödel number
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_number> #*P* is provable.
...I have not the remotest idea how one would apply that to a corporation
(or a person, indeed).
