That depends on stipulations. If someone stipulates enough then
it is possible to derive an epistemological antimomy.

An accurate model of all of the general knowledge of the actual world.
Expressions that are stipulated to be true must actually be true.

Can a sequence of true preserving operations applied to expressions
that are stipulated to be true derive p?

Can a sequence of true preserving operations applied to expressions
that are stipulated to be true derive ~p?

Whether p is "a cat" or p is defined as ~True(L, p) the above
system detects and rejects p when p is neither True nor False.

So, are you saying by stipulating you can "make" a false statement true, 
or are you saying that you LIED when you "stipulated" facts that were 
not true?

> 
> Can a sequence of true preserving operations applied to expressions
> that are stipulated to be true derive p?

Well, if you have shown that True(L, p) returns false, then you can, of 
if p is shown to be untrue, then it must be true.

> 
> Can a sequence of true preserving operations applied to expressions
> that are stipulated to be true derive ~p?

Well, if you have shown that True(L, p) returns true, then you can.

And if it "rejects" the input, then we can show that it is wrong, and if 
it accepts the input, it is also wrong, thus it can not answer for the 
input and fails to be a predicate.

Does that mean that everything uncertain is excluded from "general

My purpose is to show a simple easy way to reject epistemological
antinomies such as the Liar Paradox from forming the basis for any
formal proof. I provide the simpler example below so that the gist
of my idea is easy to see.

True(L,x) returns true when x is derived from a set of truth preserving
operations from finite string expressions of language that have been
stipulated to have the semantic value of Boolean true. False(L,x) is
defined as True(L,~x).

x = "a fish"
True(English, x)  == false
False(English, x) == false

x is a type mismatch error for any formal system of bivalent logic thus
cannot be an expression stipulated to be true or derived by applying
truth preserving operations to expressions stipulated to be true.

True(English, "This sentence is not true")  == false
False(English, "This sentence is not true") == false
The same thing goes for formalized natural language.

Except you seem to be too stupid to understand why that doesn't work.

So, what does True(L, x) return when x is defined in L as ~True(L, x)

Your failure to answer this and go to the strawman below just proves you 
are too stupid to understand the problem.

Except it isn't for the True predicate, as it is defined to accept 
non-truth0-bearers as its input.

So, you are just proving yourself to be a LIAR.

And what does "False" have to do with anything, do you somehow thing 
that ~True(L, x) is the same thing as False(L, x).

If so, you are just proving your utter ignorance of what you are talking 
about.

How is an accureate model of all general knowledge of the actual world
relevant to that?

We assume that it has every single detail of human general knowledge
encoded as formalized natural language expressions having stipulated
relations to other formalized natural language expressions.  In other
words this entire body of knowledge is specified relations between
finite strings.

It can also be provided with context specific information on a
case-by-case basis.

If I understood your words (that are not as clear as they could) you
mean that you cannot reject epsitemological antinomies unless you have
every single detail of human general knowledge encoded as formalized
natural language expressions.

I am specifying the algorithm for a correct True(L,x) and False(L,x)
predicates that operate on every element of the entire body of
finite string expressions that are {true on the basis of their meaning}
and this includes all of expressions of math, logic and computations
specified as finite strings.

And that algorithm thus allows a proof in your system that True(L, true) 
can be false, and thus your system is inconsistant.

After all, if True(L, p) is false, then p is ~false which is true, and 
thus you just claimed that True(L, true) is false.

So, your system is just broken, but you don't understand the rules of 
logic to see that, because you are too stupid.

A specification without an implementation does not help much, especially
if there is no proof that the specification can be implemented.

Like stipulating (or just assuming) that a True predicate exists that 
works for all statements.

The only way that a system of formalized natural language can
possibly know that {dogs} <are> {animals} is that it must be told.
See also Davidson's truth conditional semantics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth-conditional_semantics

The only way that "dogs are animals" acquires semantic
meaning is the stipulated relation: {dogs} <are> {animals}.

For real world things that are never required. The various

When X or ~X can be derived by applying a sequence of truth preserving
operations to a set of expressions that have been stipulated to have the
semantic value of Boolean True then X is True or False. Otherwise X is
not a truth bearer.

This screens out epistemological antinomies from forming the basis
for any derivation of True(L, x). By doing this Tarski Undefinability
is defeated.

That is not known. There are real world problems that are not yet
solved without an infinite seqeunce of inference steps and there
remains the possibility that some of them, or one that is not yet
thought to be a problem but will be, that cannot be solved without
an infinite sequence of inference steps.

Anyway, whether real world problems are solvable without an infinite
sequence of inference steps is irrelevanto to the topic "True on the
basis of meaning".

My whole purpose with this whole thread is to show exactly how
epistemological antinomies can be recognized and rejected thus
not form the basis for any undecidability proofs or Tarski's
undefinability theorem.

The technical field of the art is called {Truthmaker Maximalism}.
This typically falls under metaphysics because it is usually applied
to expressions that are {true on the basis of their meaning} as well
empirical truths. I am only examining the epistemological aspects.

Unlike all of the other authors in the field I provide the architectural
details of the foundation of a system with a True(L, x) and False(L, x)
predicate for all expressions that are {true on the basis of meaning}.

This requires an accurate model of all of the general knowledge of the
actual world. Expressions that are stipulated to be true must actually
be true.

Can a sequence of truth preserving operations applied to expressions
that are stipulated to be true derive p?

Can a sequence of truth preserving operations applied to expressions
that are stipulated to be true derive ~p?

Whether p is "a cat" or p is defined as ~True(L, p) the above
system detects and rejects p when p is neither True nor False,
thus detecting that p is not a truth-bearer, thus must be rejected.

But the problem is that the things you are talking about aren't talking 
about epistemological antinomies that can be just rejected.

Godel's undecidability proof, while it starts from a statement based on 
the FORM of an epistemological antinomy, changes the semantics of the 
statement so that it isn't one, something you don't seem to understand.

Tarski's proof is a bit closer, but what it shows is that *IF* you 
assume that a "Truth Predicate" exists, then there exists statements, 
like p defined as ~True(L, x) that cause the system to have to treat 
such statments, which are epistemological antinomies as truth bearers.

Yes, that can be a question in general philosophy but isn't a question 
in formal logic, as it has a simple definition of truth

So, what does True(L, x) return for p defined as ~True(L, p)

Why? We are supposed to be in a formal system, where we have an 
enumerated list of the primative truth makers.

They form the ONLY definition of truth in the formal system.

You seem to not understand that point.

If it is deteremined that True(L, p) is false, then yes.

> 
> Can a sequence of truth preserving operations applied to expressions
> that are stipulated to be true derive ~p?

If it is determined that True(L, p) is true, then yes.

So, whichever answer you decide to stipulate that this predicate 
returns, and it MUST return an answer, or it isn't a predicate, then we 
can PROVE by you definitions, that it is wrong.

And thus MAKES p true, so it lies.

After all, if p is neither true or false, then True(L, p) will be false, 
and thus p defined as ~True(L, p) will be True, so we just showed that a 
statement "proven" to be a non-truth-bearer is actually true, and thus 
the system is inconsistant.

There are provable sentences of the form A -> B where A is some
hypthesis and B is an epistemological antimńomy. How are these
true statments handled when B is rejected?

*Already addressed in great depth in my prior reply*

True(L,x) returns true when x is derived from a set of truth preserving
operations from finite string expressions of language that have been
stipulated to have the semantic value of Boolean true. False(L,x) is
defined as True(L,~x).

Every expression such that True(L,x)==false and False(L,x)==false
is rejected as a type mismatch error.

WHERE?

You claim a lot, but I have yet to see ANYTHING from you in the form of 
a "Formal Proof" in a formal system.

So, what is True(L, x) when x is defined in L as ~True(L, x)

Your diverssion are just proving you don't know that answer, or even 
understand the problem

But "Reject" isn't an option.

If True(L, x) for x defined as ~True(L, x) is made false, then that 
makes x to be ~false, or true, and thus your logic system says that 
True(L, true) is false, and thus your system is in contradiction.

Your failure to address this just prove you are too stupid to even 
understand the problem you definition are creating.
