Quoting Andrew Polonsky <andrew.polonsky at gmail.com>:

> Let T be the theory obtained by adding to PA the axiom
>
> Incon(PA) = exists n. n is a code of a PA-derivation of Falsum
>
> Since T is a consistent c.e. theory extending PA, one would expect to have
> undecidable propositions in it.  Are there any known examples of such
> propositions?

   Just take the Rosser sentence for PA + Incon(PA).
