Just imagine c functions that have enough memory to compute
sums and products of ASCII strings of digits using the same
method that people do.

If you need to ask about details tell us which book you are using.

How one
can convert a proof about arithmetic into a
proof about provability seems to be flatly false.

 Nothing is too strong but the connection is not arithmetic.
That "asserts its own unprovability" refers to a non-arithmetic
interpretation of an arithmetic formula.
 

I want to know 100% concretely exactly what this means,
no hand waving allowed.

Making arithmetic say anything about provability
seems like making an angel food cake out of lug nuts,
cannot possible be done.

 Numbers have features and formulas have features. Therefore it is
possible to compare features of formulas to features of numbers.
 

This seems to be a type mismatch error. I need to
see every tiny detail of how it is not.

It might be the case that one number fills 100 books
of 1000 pages each.

You fill find out when you evaluate the expressions. If you use Gödel's
original numbering you will need larger numbers than strictly necessary.
If you first encode symbols with a finite set of characters you can
encode everything with finite set of characters.

The number of digits in a Gödel number can be computed with less effort
than the Gödel number itself. Still easier to compute a rough estimate.

So you have no idea how to compute the Gödel numbers.

 As I aleady told, I have an idea how to encode formulas with smaller
numbers than the numbers Gödel used.
 

Exactly how many digits is G?
