So, x being DEFINED to be a certain sentence doesn't make x to have the 
same meaning as the sentence itself?

What does it mean to define a name to a given sentence, if not that such 
a name referes to exactly that sentence?

Again, what does "Defined as" mean to you?

I don't think you actually understand what a reference is.


LP := LP is false.
is the liar's paradox, with LP being a reference to that statement "LP 
is false"

or less formally: "This sentence is not true", which uses a pronoun to 
avoid creating a name for the sentence.

I fully understand the meaning, and it is just false in some cases.

for instance, x = x*x - 2 can be evaluated, and we find that x can be -1 
or 2.

But not all loops are unconditionally infinite.

But that isn't the sentence being talked about, so it IS a RED HERRING.

It seems to be one of your favorite tactic, that when you don't 
understand something, you change the topic to something that seems 
"close enough" that you think you can argue.

That just proves you don't understand the original problem.

And such an ontology can not be practically gathered, or manipulated.

Also, as I pointed out, has nothing to do with the problem you claim to 
be working on, which are about FORMAL SYSTEMS, each of which come with 
there own PRE-SPECIFIED set of axioms, that may or may not be parts of 
the accepted "general knowledge of the world".

But p := ~True(L, p) MUST be if True is a Truth Predicate, by the 
definition of a Truth Predicate, unless you are trying to work in some 
strange logic system that doesn't match what is generally assumed 
(things like ~ doesn't actually mean NOT in the conventional manner).

Your claim that it isn't, just shows your ignorance of the definitions 
of Formal Logic. Not surprizing given your history of actually ignoring 
the truth and going by your incorrect self-evident ideas.

~True(True(L,p)) is true and is referring to the p that refers

LP := ~True(L,LP)
means ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...)))))

It is the common convention to encode self-reference incorrectly.
LP ↔ ~True(L, LP)

    ϕ(x) there is a sentence ψ such that S ⊢ ψ ↔ ϕ⟨ψ⟩.
The sentence ψ is of course not self-referential in a
strict sense, but mathematically it behaves like one.

Then ~True(L,p) can't be a truth beared as they are the SAME STATEMENT, 
just using different "names".

Just like (with context) YOU can be refered to a PO, Peter, Peter Olcott 
or Olcott, and all the reference get to the exact same entity, so any 
"name" for the express

So since True(L, p) is false, then ~True(L, p) is true.

Why add the indirection? p is the NAME of the statement, which means 
exactly the same thing as the statement itself.

Is the definition of an English word one level LESS of indirection than 
the word itself?

I don't think you understand what it means to define something.

"Definition by example" is worse than "Proof by example", at least proof 
by example can be correct if the assertion is that there exists, and not 
for all.

A level of indirection:

p: "This sentence is true", which is exactly the same as "p is true" 
since "this sentence" IS p

p1: The sentence p is true"
THAT is a level of indirection, as p1 refers to a sentence that isn't 
itself.

So, p := ~True(L, p) means p is just another name, and thus another way 
to reference

>

No, it to be what you are meaning, it would be:

LP := ~True(L, LP)
LP := ~True(L, ~True(L, LP))
LP := ~True(L, ~True(L, ~True(L, LP)))
...

And each of these COULD possible be described as adding a level of 
indirection, as we are affecting how many layers we are applying of the 
definition.

Truthbearer(L,x) ≡ (True(L,x) ∨ True(L,~x))
p = ~True(L,p) Truthbearer(L,p) is false
q = ~True(L,p) Truthbearer(L,q) is true

p = ~True(L,p)
does not mean that same thing as True(L, ~True(L,p))
The above ~True(L, p) has another ~True(L,p) embedded in p.

Irrelvent.

If Truthbearer(L, p) is FALSE, and since p is just a NAME for the 
statement ~True(L, p), that means that True(L. p) is not a truth bearer 
and True has failed to be the required truth predicate.

If you are defining your "=" symbol to be "is defined as" so the left 
side is now a name for the right side, you statement above just PROVES 
that your logic system is inconsistant as the same expression (with just 
different names) has contradicory values.

You are just showing you utter lack of understanding of the fundamentals 
of Formal Logic.

Right, that is a sentence about another sentence (that is part of itself)

p defined as ~True(L, p) isn't a sentence refering to ~True(L, p), it is 
assigning a name to the sentence to allow OTHER sentences to refer to it 
by name,

Nope.

It means that LP is defined to be the sentence ~True(L, LP)

replacing the LP in the sentence with a copy of LP IS a level of 
indirection, so you can get the infinite expansion if you keep or 
derefencing the reference in the statement.

Which isn't a valid proof in a formal system. You seem to think Formal 
System are a loosy goosy with proofs as Philosophy.

Nope, it is equivelent to that, but doesn't SPECIFY that.

As I said above that is expanding levels of indirecction.

Right, because prolog can't handle any levels of self referencing, and 
thus is not suitable for logic that can do that.

You have been told this, but don't seem to understand it. My guess is 
you can't understand any logic more complicated than what Prolog 
handles, so don't realize how much it just doesn't handle.

That is the same thing as saying that
True(English, "this sentence is not true") is false
proves that True(L,x) is not a truthbearer.

    ϕ(x) there is a sentence ψ such that S ⊢ ψ ↔ ϕ⟨ψ⟩.
The sentence ψ is of course not self-referential in a strict sense, but 
mathematically it behaves like one.

No what it shows is that formal logic gets the wrong answer because
formal logic does not evaluate actual self-reference.

True(English, "this sentence is not true") is false
Is 100% perfectly isomorphic to its formalized version

LP is defined as ~True(L, LP)
True(L, LP) is false

It is merely easier to see that "this sentence is not true"
cannot be true because that makes it false and
can't be false because that makes it true.

LP is defined as ~True(L, LP)
works this same yet yet it is not as intuitive.

So we see that the above is a correct formalization
of the English and that gives us the cognitive leverage
of intuition.

LP := ~True(L, LP) means that every instance of LP
in the RHS is the same as the RHS.

Clocksin & Mellish say this same thing.

BEGIN:(Clocksin & Mellish 2003:254)
Finally, a note about how Prolog matching sometimes differs from the
unification used in Resolution. Most Prolog systems will allow you to
satisfy goals like:

equal(X, X).
?- equal(foo(Y), Y).

that is, they will allow you to match a term against an uninstantiated
subterm of itself. In this example, foo(Y) is matched against Y, which
appears within it. As a result, Y will stand for foo(Y), which is
foo(foo(Y)) (because of what Y stands for), which is foo(foo(foo(Y))),
and so on. So Y ends up standing for some kind of infinite structure.

No the whole problem seems to be that you simply don't
bother to pay close enough attention the EXACTLY what I say.

When I prove my point you simply ignore that I proved my point
and baselessly assume that I must be wrong. You will probably
completely "forget" my Clocksin & Mellish quote immediately after
you read it, or skip over it and assume that they are wrong.

Nope, why do you say that?

What logic are you even TRYING to use to get there?

I think you don't understand what defining a label to represent a 
statement means.

So? Can you show that it is NOT true? or is it just that you don't want 
it to be true, so you assume it isn't?

So? Yes ~True(L, ~True(L, p)) IS a different sentence than ~True(L, p) 
even with p defined a ~True(L, p), BUT they are logically connected as 
the first follows as a consequence of the second and the definition of p.

So? What's wrong with that? Note, it is recursion that doesn't HAVE to 
be followed. You seem to be stuck at counting the fingers level math, 
while trying to talk about trigonometry.

So? As I said, it doesn't HAVE to be fully expanded, as each level is 
doing a logical step of indirection

Nope. Because "this sentence" refers to the statement in quotes, not the 
logical statement using True.

And it is a different sentence.

You are right that it causes problems, and the problem it causes is that 
it shows that the True Predicate can not exist.

Nope, can't because the English sentence doesn't attach a "name" to the 
whole expression.

Wrong. There are lots of logics that handle certain "infinte 
structures". After all, Mathematics is BASED on logic on infinite 
structures.

No, you don't use the words in the way they are properly defined, so of 
course people can't understand what you mean.

We have to guess, and point out the errors that are clearly there.

Nope, you have yet to present an actual Formal proof. You seem to think 
that a Philosophical Arguement can substitute for a Formal Proof. YOu 
are just using the wrong tools that don't work in the system.

Maybe if you actually tried to pay attention to what people say an not 
assume that your ideas, built on your assumptions of how things must 
work, have to be correct.

It seems you don't even have the tools to try to explain what you mean, 
but just like to throw out snipits quoted from places that you don;t 
really understand, but seem to say something sort of like what you are 
trying to say.

All you have done is proved your ignorance.

I did not said the above part exactly precisely to address
your objection.

p is defined as ~True(L,p)
LP is defined as "this sentence is not true" in English.
Thus True(L,p) ≡ True(English,LP) and
Thus True(L,~p) ≡ True(English,~LP)

It shows that no truth bearers must be rejected as

Prolog sees that LP is defined as ~True(LP) is nonsense

A proof need not be formal.
A proof is any statement where its negation is unsatisfiable.

Try to "prove" that "2" really does stand for a number

The definition itself is the complete proof, no steps required.

Most of the best experts in the world are not sure that the Liar Paradox
is not a truth bearer. At least you know this much.

When we get to the formalized Liar Paradox this seems too difficult
for you, yet you are still doing better than most experts in the world.

You are even better at formalizing the Liar Paradox than most experts
in the field. They try to get away with this crap: LP ↔ ~True(LP).
You understand that this is the correct way: p defined as ~True(L, p).
So it is still: Good job Richard !

So, you admit that you did not answer the problem.

And that you think Strawmen and Red Herring are valid forms of logic.

How does p defined as ~True(L, p) NOT generate the shown contradiction 
when you begin by saying True(L, p) must not be true (and thus false) 
because p has not chain to truthbears?

You are just showing that you think it is ok for logical system to have 
contradictions in them.

Which mean?

And what does it have to do with the original statement?


Remember, if your goal is to just show that conventonal logic is just 
broken, you are going to need to make a much more convincing arguement 
to scrap it, unless you have a FULLY DEVELOPED alternative that does better.

Just remember, once you throw out the foundations, you need to start 
from a brand new foundation, and unless you have been lying about your 
prognossis, and sand-bagging about your logical abilities, your chance 
of actually proving somethiing like that is just about zero.

Of course it does.

You just don't understand what you are reading.

In fact, Tarski points out the BECAUSE he can show that the existance of 
a Truth Primative forces an epistemological antinomy to have a truth 
value, that there can not be an existing Truth Primative.

YOU just don't understand logic,

So, I guess you don't beleive in mathematics.

And the value of Pi doesn't exist, or the square root of 2.

You are just incapable of understanding how infinities CAN work.

There is no NEED to expand the reference loop to infinity, so that isn't 
actually a problem.

Nope, because the English doesn't carry the meaning of being a Truth 
Predicate. But, since you don't seem to understand what that means, you 
can't tell the difference, but it proves your own ignorance to make the 
claim.

Which isn't allowed.

You seem to have this problem with things defined to work on ALL 
statements expressable in the languge.

It is DEFINED how the Truth predicate is to work on non-truth bearers, 
and that to return the false value.

It is basically defined similar to Sipser Decider, in that it turns 
"non-answers" into a defined answer, and that requirement is what make 
it not possible, but that requirement is a fundamental part of the problem.

Wrong. One clear counter are infinite structures that turn out to have 
an induction property. That can colapse the infinite structure into 
something finite. As can limit theory. Or somethings a Meta-Theory can 
deduce something to colapse the structure.

We can't always tell to begin with if such a method exists.

Note also, TRUTH can be establish by non-computable / infinte sequences, 
and make the statement True.

We can not know that it is True, until we find a path that demonstrates 
it, but our ability to KNOW the truth does not affect the actual truth 
of the statement. This seems to be something beyond your comprehension.

The "Truth" of a statement doesn't change from "Non-Truth-Bearing" to 
True (of False) just because we found a proof (or refuation) of the 
statement. The statement was ALWAYS that True or False, but we just 
didn't know the truth value of it, so its truth value was "Unknown" NOT 
"Not-A-Truth-Bearer".

It does in Formal Logic, or it isn't really a proof.

Can you show an actual REFERENCE to that, that specifically is talking 
about a FORMAL system, and not some other branch of ligiv ro

Nope.

And I think you don't understand what satisfiablity / unsatisfiable mean.

Now, if you can Logical PROVE that its negation is False (and is a 
truth-bearer so you can apply negation) then you have a proof.

So, give the definitions. Your problem is that you don't actually know 
the precise defintion of that which you talk about.

Like you confusion of "Computable Functions" with "Programs" which is 
just a type error.

Program COMPUTE the mapping of the Computable Function, but they are not 
it themselves.

No, you just don't understand what they are saying there, again, because 
you are too stupid, and latch on to piece that seem to match the few 
pieces you mislearned by rote.

p is tossed out on its ass as a type mismatch error for every system
of bivalent logic before it gets any chance to be evaluated in any
other way.

You are failing to pay enough attention or forgetting
what I told you even after telling you many times.

Truthbearer(L,x) ≡ (True(L,x) ∨ True(L,~x))
p defined as ~True(L, p)

Truthbearer(L,x) ≡ (True(L,x) ∨ True(L,~x))

Expressions that are {true on the basis of meaning} are ONLY
(a) A set of finite string semantic meanings that form an accurate
      model of the general knowledge of the actual world.

(b) Expressions derived by applying truth preserving operations to (a).
The above algorithm specifies True(L,x) and True(L,~x).

I understand that the received view is proven to be incorrect on the

Not ALLOWED. p is DEFINED to be something, so it is that/.

or, what you are saying is you have tossed out the whole logic system, 
which actually would explaim you problem, you have NO logic to work 
with, because you threw it out without having a replacement.

I don't have a gas can for my lawnmower.

You are just resorting again to Strawmen and Red Herrings, becaause you 
have no real logic to work with, because you never learned any.

And you logic system is thus broken as True in now not a Truth Bearer.

And if you use that, and the assumption that True is a Truth Predicate, 
you get a contradiction, so you logic is broken.

PERIOD.

If the x above is defined in L as ~True(L, x), and by your logic, there 
is no way to derive its truth from the truthmakers of L to x, and thus 
by your definition True(L, x) is false, that means that this conclusion 
ESTABLISHED a path to ~True(L, x) as if w is false then ~w is true, so 
there must be such a path to ~w, and thus to ~True(L, x), which is what 
x is defined to be.

Since now there IS a path of truth preserving operations to x, we have 
that True(L, x) must be true, and thus we have a contradiction.

What algorithm are you talking about?

Your broken definition of True?

The one that proves p to be both true and false

The one that declairs a Truth Primative, that by definition must always 
be a truth bearer to be a non-truth-bearer.

No, if you want to try to fix this, you need to do more than your one 
paragraph sketch of what you are thinking of.

You need to do a full formal derivation, but the likely problems are that
1) You don't have the skill to do that, and
2) Even if you did, your ideas don't actually solve the problem, because 
you just don't understand the nature of logic.

That is NOT what I said, but then you are just too stupid to understand.

We were not talking about loops in programs, but recursive definitions, 
that turn out to be usable without needing to get into your infinite 
expansion loop.

I guess you have just put yourself on the loop in eternity where you 
will just keep on trying to redo your statement 1 step farther each time

Not what I said, and the fact that you said it shows your ignorance of

Of course I can, there is NO REQUIREMENT when looking at an English 
sentence to "formalize it", In fact, the system "English" is different 
than the system "Formalize English".

True(L, x) isn't allowed to "reject" a statement, only answer that the 
statement is "true" or that it isn't true, meaning either false, or a 
non-truth-bearer.

So, your answer is just like someone asking of 1 + 1 is 2 and you answer 
"Apple Pie"

No, you haven't defined your system, you have defined a few rules that 
you are adding to the existing system (since that is all that we have) 
that make the system inconsistant. Note, you can ADD to an existing 
system by adding a axiom to it, you can not remove something from the 
system without rebuilding it from scratch.

If you want to have a different basis of logic, you need to do the work 
to actually build it, which seems to be totally out of your ability

But if x is ~True(L, x) then if True(L, x) is false, then there IS a 
sequence of truth perserving operations that derive x from the truth 
maker established in True.

Thus, your system is inconsistant.

That you can't understand that just shows your stupidity.

There is no "wrong" input to True if it is syntactically correct.

You just don't understand the requirements, because you don't understand 
logic, or apparently ANYTHING you have done in the last 20 years.

(Well, maybe you understand kiddie porn and what it does to you)

p defined as ~True(L, p) is rejected as a syntax error.

https://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/man?predicate=unify_with_occurs_check/2
or rejected as

   equal(X, X).

What if it is not defined as ~True(L, p)
but we could prove that
A ⇒ (p ⇔ ~True(L, p))
then it would prove that A is false.

"this sentence is false" defined as ¬True(English, "this sentence is false")
is rejected as a syntax error?

so ¬True(English, "this sentence is false") is a syntax error?
I thought you said ¬True(English, "this sentence is false") is false.

NOT ALLOWED.

So, your are just admitting that your logic system doesn't meet the 
requirements of Tarski, and thus your claims are just blatant lies.

And PROLOG is not the definition of what is allowed, so you just prove 
that you are too stupid to understand logic.

No, I know I have rebutted it.

What seems categorically impossible is for your claims of things to be 
correct.

Maybe I should ask, If I can show that your "Categorically Impossible" 
thing is true, that you will NEVER AGAIN claim something to be 
categorically impossibe without a FULL FORMAL proof (which means you 
need to learn how to make one).

All you have done so far is convince everyone that you idea of an 
obvious truth, or a verified truth, or a proven fact, just means 
something that seems it has to be right in your mind, with absolutly no 
foundation in fact.

You just don't know what TRUTH actually is, as you are just in the same 
category as the election deniers.

And also that every claim from which an epistemological antinomy could

There are no sequence of truth preserving operations from expressions 
that have been stipulated to be true that derive X or ~X when X is an
epistemological antinomy, thus X is rejected as not a truth-bearer.
