Default primes of the form n^2+1



I believe the book "Handbook of Mathematical Logic" edited by Jon
Barwise had an explicit example of a mathematical statement related to
the Ramsey Theorem that is true but unprovable. I don't currently
have access to that book.

Was it the Paris-Harrington theorem?
