Can you quote the relevant paragraph?

I do not know what you worship . Every finite initial segment of the
anti-diagonal is an entry of the list. I do not know what else can
belong to the anti-diagonal. But certainly this additional thing
cannot be used to distinguish it from anything.

Can you quote the paragraph where it does that?
