• Tarski Undefinability Theorem is refuted

    Since the entire body of analytic truth (defined below) is established
    entirely on the basis of semantic connections between expressions of
    language this is the truth predicate that Tarski “proved” cannot exist:

    True(x) ↔ (⊨x)

    Instead of conventional model theory the body of analytic knowledge is represented as knowledge ontology (acyclic directed graph) of
    connections between expressions of language.

    Nodes in this tree of knowledge represent unique individual concepts
    roughly equivalent to the individual sense meanings of dictionary
    definitions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(computer_science)

    *The Tarski Undefinability Proof*
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    Because some of these semantic connections are currently unknown the set
    of analytically true expressions of language is a proper superset of the
    set of analytic knowledge.

    If the Goldbach conjecture requires an infinite proof then it would have
    an unknowable truth value, and yet still seem to be a truth bearer. https://www.britannica.com/science/Goldbach-conjecture

    “Analytic” sentences, such as “Pediatricians are doctors,” have historically been characterized as ones that are true by virtue of the
    meanings of their words alone and/or can be known to be so solely by
    knowing those meanings.

    Because Truth can be established by an infinite series of semantic
    connections, but a proof requires a finite series.

    AGREED that statements of provability are ALWAYS truth bearers (perhaps
    of unknown truth value), so can not be self-contradictory.

    So you AGREE that there can be statements which are True but Unprovable,
    which contradicts your claim that True(x) implies Provable(x).

    You are just being too stupid to understand you own words.

    A natural consequence of you above statement is a distintion between
    True and Knowable, there can be statements (and will be in a complex
    enough system) that are True in the system, but can not be proven in
    that system.

    The Liar Paradox is not true therefore his proof that it is true is
    wrong. Truth bearers must have (semantic connection) truth makers.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies
    “some kind of infinite structure.” that causes the LP expression to be rejected by unify_with_occurs_check.

    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350789898_Prolog_detects_and_rejects_pathological_self_reference_in_the_Godel_sentence

    being a Truth Bearer, but that given a definition of Truth, there will

    Only if one does the proof incorrectly.

    Self contradictory sentences are never true or false.
    That Tarski thinks they are is his mistake.


    If there are no known or unknown semantic connections that derive the
    truth of The Goldbach conjecture then it is not true.


    But an infinite unknown series of semantic connection means a statement
    is True but not Provable (since Provable means showing a finite series
    of connections).

    Yes and the lack of an infinite or finite sequence of semantic
    connections that makes the sentence true means that it is untrue.

    The Liar Paradox is not true therefore his proof that it is true is
    wrong. Truth bearers must have (semantic connection) truth makers.

    Right, so unles you can point to an actual ERROR he makes in his proof,
    the fact that it proves a statement that can't be true says one of the
    input hypothesis is wrong, in this case, the hypothesis that Truth has a defintion.


    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies
    “some kind of infinite structure.” that causes the LP expression to be rejected by unify_with_occurs_check.

    The fact that your brain can't handle how (dis)proof by contradiction
    works, shows you to be incapable of actually handling logic.

    Not quite:

    Self contradictory sentences are never true or false.
    That Tarski thinks they are is his mistake.


    No, that isn't what he claims. He KNOWS the Self Contradictoy sentences
    are never true, so a system that can PROVE such a statement has an error.


    If there are no known or unknown semantic connections that derive the
    truth of The Goldbach conjecture then it is not true.


    But an infinite unknown series of semantic connection means a
    statement is True but not Provable (since Provable means showing a

    Yes and the lack of an infinite or finite sequence of semantic

    But the existance of ONLY an infinite sequence of semantic connections

    If you allow your "Proof" to be infinite, then you have broken the link
    between provable and knowable, and have left the language that everyone
    else is talking.

    Since some Semantic Statement DO require an infinite set of semantic connections, but knowable requries a finite set of semantic connections,
    we have that there exsits some statements that are True but not
    knowable, and thus not Provable by the classical definition.


    Thus an expression of language is never true unless it is connected to
    its truth maker.


    Right, but that connection might not be knowable, because it is
    infinite, and thus not provable by the classical meaning.

    If you redefine your idea of "Proof" to include "infinite proofs" you
    have just made you logic system incompatible with ALL standard logic
    that requires it to be finite, so you need to restart at the begining.

    You are going to need to define SOMETHING, to indicate actually knowable
    due to having a finite proof. Knowable isn't actually a good word for
    this, as we often want to include in knowable not just things proven
    with a finite analytical proof, but also things knowable by direct
    sensation.

    Thus, if you redefine "Provable" to include an infinite sequence of
    steps, it becomes just a synonym for True, and we have lost the use of
    it for its normal use, and need to replace it with something more
    clumbsy like Analytically Knowable.


    The claim you seem to want to make is that all Analytically True
    statements are Anayltically Knowable, but that is a false statement.

    You try to hide the error by redefining the words and saying that all Analytical True statements are Provable, and implying that this means Analytically Knowable, but that is wrong because you are using
    incompatible meanings of Provable.

    You need to actually DEFINE what you mean by your terms, and any term
    that doesn't mean what it means what it actually means in classical
    logic can not use any of the results from classical logic.

    You seem to want to change the foundation, but then expect that the
    whole structure built on it will stay mostly the same. That is a false assumption. If you change the base, you need to work up from that base
    and see what changes above it, but going through ALL the steps,
    especially those that depend on the things you have changed, to see what actually changes.

    Many of your ideas you think of as "New" are not really new, just you
    have failed to see their use in the past. They might not have used your
    names, but they did use the same base ideas. The limitations of these
    ideas have been long established.

    WRONG. The DEFINITION of "Incomplete" is that there exist statements
    that are True that can not be Prove, with the definition of Provable
    being a Finite Proof.

    In your modified terminology, Incompletenesss is DEFINED as the
    existance of statements that are Analytically True but are Unknowable.

    THAT IS DEFINITION.

    We can simply use my semantic version instead: True(x) ↔ (⊨x).

    So, start with your restart and see what you get. Make sure you fully
    document you other definitions and axioms as you go.

    In particular, do you plan to redefine the implication operator?

    Note currently A -> B means that for every model where A is true, B is
    also true, even if that truth of B is not directly connected to the
    Truth of A.

    Note, PROVING a statement like A -> B, without knowing the actual truth
    of A or B, will require building such a direct connection.


    You are going to need to define SOMETHING, to indicate actually
    knowable due to having a finite proof. Knowable isn't actually a good

    Ok. But I don't think that actually establishs what you are trying to

    Hence my new idea of semantic connections using a knowledge ontology

    So DO IT. Of course, changing the base means you have to redo EVERYTHING
    to see what survives.

    Ultimately, my guess is you will find that with the restrictions you are talking about, you are going to find that you logic system is not able
    to handle much of the current logic families, but you system is just
    going to put them outside what it can show.

    That, or you system is going to fall into a massive mess of
    inconsistencies because you fail to guard against it, and you ego is
    unable to see these problems.


    You seem to want to change the foundation, but then expect that the
    whole structure built on it will stay mostly the same. That is a false
    assumption. If you change the base, you need to work up from that base
    and see what changes above it, but going through ALL the steps,
    especially those that depend on the things you have changed, to see
    what actually changes.


    True(x) requires semantic connections to its truth maker, else we have ~True(x) or False(x). Semantically incoherent expressions of language
    (such as the Liar Paradox) are neither true nor false.

    Ok, so what.

    It is accept that statements like the Liar's paradox are not truth holders.

    The problem is that it is absolutely TRUE that Some True Statements are Unknowable in a sufficently powerful logic system (and that sufficently powerful is a fairly low hurdle).

    You can't just try to make that statems be just the same as the Liar's
    Paradox, because they aren't.

    It is a fundamental property of Knowable/Provable for systems of any
    reasonable power.


    Many of your ideas you think of as "New" are not really new, just you
    have failed to see their use in the past. They might not have used
    your names, but they did use the same base ideas. The limitations of
    these ideas have been long established.

    I have shown that Tarski Undefinability and Gödel Incompleteness are incorrect. Tarski "proved" that the Liar Paradox is true and we both
    know that it is not true so Tarski goofed.

    No, you haven't.

    You just don't understand his proof.

    The fact is that Tarski PROVED (not in quotes) that the Liar's Paradox
    is True IF A DEFINITION OF TRUTH EXISTS, this is actually proof that no
    such definitio of truth can exist.

    Unless you find an actual ERROR in his proof, you haven't established
    anything but to confirm his proof.

    Note, you probably need to look at the AcTUAL PROOF he gives, not just
    the short summary you quote. Yes, that summary is not in itself a proof,
    but references that actual proof that has been firmly established.

    This seems to be a common error of yours, you don't read the actual
    proof (probalby because it is too complicated for you since you admit
    you have avoid formal study of the field) so you can't actually come up
    with a refutatioh of the proof, so you just say it must be wrong.

    In actuality YOU must certainly be wrong, since you are the one claiming something without proof that is contradicted by an actual vetted proof.


    Because Gödel Incompleteness is an exact isomorphism to Tarski Undefinability the refutation of one is a refutation of both.



    Which you haven't done, because it seems you don't understand what
    either one is doing, in part because it seems you don't actually
    understand how logic works.

    Note, one error in your logic is that if we have a statement A which we
    have proven true by some finite series of connections, then we can, by
    the definition of the terms, state that

    B -> A is True.

    Note, even though B doesn't have a semantic connection to A, the
    implication operator is always correct here, as A has been proven to be
    True.

    Simerly, if B has been proven to never be true, then the statement

    B -> C is also True

    Note, this statement doesn't actually imply that C is true, or even that
    C is a truth bearer, those implication only come if B happens to be
    True, which we just stipulated was impossible, because it was proven false.

    You may not like that definition, but that IS the definition.

    Note, that this does mean that a proof of the form:

    First proves that x -> y

    Then proves that y is false

    Necessarily proves that x is false.

    This is the form of the argument of Proof by Contradiction, which you
    seem to have a mental block on.

    You seem stuck on the fact that just because you WANT x to be true, and
    you admit that y is false, doesn't make the proof that x -> y to be
    incorrect, it means you are incorrect in your wants unless you can find
    an actual logical fallicy in the steps of the proof of x -> y.

    Since you have shown that you don't actually understand how these proofs
    work, that seems to be beyound your capability.

    You EGO seems incapable of accepting the fact that you may have been
    wrong in your desires, which ends up just proving your ignorance of all
    you talk about.

    Thus your idea that all Truth is Provable is debunked, and you are
    shown to be an idiot.


    My prior claim that every true statement must be provable is either
    qualified to allow infinite proofs or changed to refer to semantic
    connections that may be finite or infinite.

    If you allow your "Proof" to be infinite, then you have broken the
    link between provable and knowable, and have left the language that
    everyone else is talking.


    You and I already know that the possibility that an expression of
    language can only be confirmed as true by an infinite proof then the
    link between true and knowable was already broken.

    Right, which means that there are some things that are True that are unknowable.


    Since some Semantic Statement DO require an infinite set of semantic
    connections, but knowable requries a finite set of semantic
    connections, we have that there exsits some statements that are True
    but not knowable, and thus not Provable by the classical definition.


    When infinite proofs are required to verify the truth of an expression
    of language and formal systems are not allowed to have infinite proofs
    then unprovable in no way means that the formal system is in any way
    incomplete.

    WRONG. The DEFINITION of "Incomplete" is that there exist statements
    that are True that can not be Prove, with the definition of Provable
    being a Finite Proof.

    In your modified terminology, Incompletenesss is DEFINED as the
    existance of statements that are Analytically True but are Unknowable.

    THAT IS DEFINITION.

    In other words you are saying that unless a formal system violates its
    own definition and performs an infinite proof then the formal system is incomplete.




    Thus an expression of language is never true unless it is connected to >>>> its truth maker.


    Right, but that connection might not be knowable, because it is
    infinite, and thus not provable by the classical meaning.


    Yet formal systems that are not allowed to have infinite proofs cannot
    be called "incomplete" because they lack an infinite proof.

    But that is the DEFINTION of the Term.

    That definition is incoherent. It is like saying that apples are
    incomplete because they are not oranges.


    If you redefine your idea of "Proof" to include "infinite proofs" you
    have just made you logic system incompatible with ALL standard logic
    that requires it to be finite, so you need to restart at the begining.


    We can simply use my semantic version instead: True(x) ↔ (⊨x).

    So, start with your restart and see what you get. Make sure you fully document you other definitions and axioms as you go.

    In particular, do you plan to redefine the implication operator?

    I am only specifying the natural preexisting way that analytical truth
    really works.


    Note currently A -> B means that for every model where A is true, B is
    also true, even if that truth of B is not directly connected to the
    Truth of A.


    That is an error. To say that
    cows give milk implies the grass is purple
    is false at the semantic level, thus not a truth preserving operation.

    Note, PROVING a statement like A -> B, without knowing the actual truth
    of A or B, will require building such a direct connection.


    You are going to need to define SOMETHING, to indicate actually
    knowable due to having a finite proof. Knowable isn't actually a good
    word for this, as we often want to include in knowable not just
    things proven with a finite analytical proof, but also things
    knowable by direct sensation.

    Thus, if you redefine "Provable" to include an infinite sequence of
    steps, it becomes just a synonym for True, and we have lost the use
    of it for its normal use, and need to replace it with something more
    clumbsy like Analytically Knowable.


    The claim you seem to want to make is that all Analytically True
    statements are Anayltically Knowable, but that is a false statement.

    You try to hide the error by redefining the words and saying that all
    Analytical True statements are Provable, and implying that this means
    Analytically Knowable, but that is wrong because you are using
    incompatible meanings of Provable.

    All analytically true statements have a semantic connection to their
    truth maker.

    Ok. But I don't think that actually establishs what you are trying to
    make it establish.


    It does, I spent 25 years on this and can finally say it succinctly.



    You need to actually DEFINE what you mean by your terms, and any term
    that doesn't mean what it means what it actually means in classical
    logic can not use any of the results from classical logic.


    Hence my new idea of semantic connections using a knowledge ontology
    instead of model theory.

    So DO IT. Of course, changing the base means you have to redo EVERYTHING
    to see what survives.


    I am not going to write down every element of the set of all analytic knowledge. True(x) ↔ (⊨x) has the set of all known and unknown analytic truth as its formal system.

    Ultimately, my guess is you will find that with the restrictions you are talking about, you are going to find that you logic system is not able
    to handle much of the current logic families, but you system is just
    going to put them outside what it can show.


    The set of analytic knowledge can show everything that is analytically
    known.

    That, or you system is going to fall into a massive mess of
    inconsistencies because you fail to guard against it, and you ego is
    unable to see these problems.


    Expressions of language that are not coherently linked to the set of
    analytic knowledge are not members of this set.


    You seem to want to change the foundation, but then expect that the
    whole structure built on it will stay mostly the same. That is a
    false assumption. If you change the base, you need to work up from
    that base and see what changes above it, but going through ALL the
    steps, especially those that depend on the things you have changed,
    to see what actually changes.


    True(x) requires semantic connections to its truth maker, else we have
    ~True(x) or False(x). Semantically incoherent expressions of language
    (such as the Liar Paradox) are neither true nor false.

    Ok, so what.


    Tarski's undefinability theorem fails. He claimed to have proved an
    incoherent expression of language is true, that is ridiculous.

    It is accept that statements like the Liar's paradox are not truth holders.


    Tarski claimed to have proved that it is true, what a nut.

    The problem is that it is absolutely TRUE that Some True Statements are Unknowable in a sufficently powerful logic system (and that sufficently powerful is a fairly low hurdle).


    We cannot possibly correctly say that some statements are unknowable
    until we can prove that no finite proofs exist. Until then they are
    simply unknown.

    You can't just try to make that statems be just the same as the Liar's Paradox, because they aren't.


    Gödel himself implied that his logic sentence is isomorphic to the liar paradox.

    It is a fundamental property of Knowable/Provable for systems of any reasonable power.


    Gödel said that any epistemological antinomy will do, thus he limited
    his proof to be based only on self-contradictory expressions of
    language.


    Many of your ideas you think of as "New" are not really new, just you
    have failed to see their use in the past. They might not have used
    your names, but they did use the same base ideas. The limitations of
    these ideas have been long established.

    I have shown that Tarski Undefinability and Gödel Incompleteness are
    incorrect. Tarski "proved" that the Liar Paradox is true and we both
    know that it is not true so Tarski goofed.

    No, you haven't.


    He you already admitted that he proved that the Liar Paradox is true and
    you also admitted that the Liar Paradox is not true hence you admitted
    that Tarski goofed.

    You just don't understand his proof.

    The fact is that Tarski PROVED (not in quotes) that the Liar's Paradox
    is True

    Conclusively proves that Tarski did something wrong.

    IF A DEFINITION OF TRUTH EXISTS, this is actually proof that no
    such definitio of truth can exist.

    Unless you find an actual ERROR in his proof, you haven't established anything but to confirm his proof.


    You already admitted that Tarski proved that a statement that is not
    true is true, thus Tarski goofed.

    Note, you probably need to look at the AcTUAL PROOF he gives, not just
    the short summary you quote. Yes, that summary is not in itself a proof,
    but references that actual proof that has been firmly established.


    These two pages are his entire proof in his original verbatim words: https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    This seems to be a common error of yours, you don't read the actual
    proof (probalby because it is too complicated for you since you admit
    you have avoid formal study of the field) so you can't actually come up
    with a refutatioh of the proof, so you just say it must be wrong.

    In actuality YOU must certainly be wrong, since you are the one claiming something without proof that is contradicted by an actual vetted proof.


    Because Gödel Incompleteness is an exact isomorphism to Tarski
    Undefinability the refutation of one is a refutation of both.



    Which you haven't done, because it seems you don't understand what
    either one is doing, in part because it seems you don't actually
    understand how logic works.


    Gödel said this in his footnote 14
    14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof

    In other words his proof requires self-contradictory expressions of
    language or it fails and the Liar Paradox can be used for a similar undecidability proof. Tarski did that.

    WRONG. The DEFINITION of "Incomplete" is that there exist statements
    that are True that can not be Prove, with the definition of Provable
    being a Finite Proof.

    In your modified terminology, Incompletenesss is DEFINED as the

    THAT IS DEFINITION.

    In other words you are saying that unless a formal system violates its

    No, a formal system simple enough to be able to prove all true
    statements in it is what is defined as "Complete".

    It just turns out that most usable systems are incomplete, because it
    turns out they are expressive enough to create Truth that can't be proven.

    Nothing wrong with being "Incomplete" by this definition,

    What the systems lack, is the ability to prove every true statement.

    What is wrong with that?

    Somehow you seem to not understand the meaning of that statement.




    Thus an expression of language is never true unless it is connected to >>>>> its truth maker.


    Right, but that connection might not be knowable, because it is
    infinite, and thus not provable by the classical meaning.


    Yet formal systems that are not allowed to have infinite proofs
    cannot be called "incomplete" because they lack an infinite proof.

    But that is the DEFINTION of the Term.

    That definition is incoherent. It is like saying that apples are
    incomplete because they are not oranges.

    Nope, just means you don't understand the concept that it is talking about.

    I suspect the issue is you are trying to use a colloqual English meaning
    for the word in your mind instead of its actual Technical Meaning in the
    Field.

    Apples are logic systems, so this definition doesn't apply to them.

    Maybe a better analogy would be that a grape that grew without seeds in
    it could be considered incomplete because it is missing something that
    was expected, and needed for the fruit to reproduce itself.

    It just turns out that for grapes, this can be a FEATURE, not a defect.

    In the same way, logic systems that are incomplete, are lacking a useful feature, the ability to prove all truth statements in them, but come
    with the advantage of being able to express concepts that can't be done
    when you limit yourself to logic that allows all truths to be proven.




    If you redefine your idea of "Proof" to include "infinite proofs"
    you have just made you logic system incompatible with ALL standard
    logic that requires it to be finite, so you need to restart at the
    begining.


    We can simply use my semantic version instead: True(x) ↔ (⊨x).

    So, start with your restart and see what you get. Make sure you fully
    document you other definitions and axioms as you go.

    In particular, do you plan to redefine the implication operator?

    I am only specifying the natural preexisting way that analytical truth
    really works.

    So you accept that it is a True Statement that "Unicorns being purple
    implies that the world is flat".



    Note currently A -> B means that for every model where A is true, B is
    also true, even if that truth of B is not directly connected to the
    Truth of A.


    That is an error. To say that
    cows give milk implies the grass is purple
    is false at the semantic level, thus not a truth preserving operation.

    How is your example a proper counter to my statement?

    Since it is not true that in every model where "Cows give milk" is true
    that "Grass is purple" is true, that statement fails the definition of a
    valid implication.

    You are just showing you don't understand what you are talking about.

    Are you saying that you are BANNING the implication operator because all
    of the following are valid implications?

    True -> True
    False -> False
    False -> True

    and only if there is a case of

    True -> False

    is the implication invalid?

    Good luck trying to develop your logic system if you remove the
    implication operator from your system.


    Note, PROVING a statement like A -> B, without knowing the actual
    truth of A or B, will require building such a direct connection.


    You are going to need to define SOMETHING, to indicate actually

    No, I wasn't saying write down all knowledge, I was saying SHOW that
    your logic system is actually capable of doing something usefle.

    Since you are redefining some core definition, that means going back to
    the ultimate basics and show what you can actually still show of logic
    as still applying.

    I don't think you know enough to even know what you need to do.

    (I'll admit, I would need to do some research to figure out how deep
    into the basics you need to go).


    Ultimately, my guess is you will find that with the restrictions you

    The set of analytic knowledge can show everything that is analytically
    known.

    But that doesn't show that you can know all analytic TRUTHS.

    You keep making that mistake, It is like "Truth" doesn't actually mean
    anything to you, only knowledge, and becaue you have lost track of
    Truth, you accept as knowldge things that aren't actually True, because
    you have let your system become inconsistent (which in a sense destroys
    the meaning ot Truth).


    That, or you system is going to fall into a massive mess of
    inconsistencies because you fail to guard against it, and you ego is
    unable to see these problems.


    Expressions of language that are not coherently linked to the set of
    analytic knowledge are not members of this set.

    Again, talking about Knowledge instead of Truth.

    You are just proving your ignorance.



    You seem to want to change the foundation, but then expect that the
    whole structure built on it will stay mostly the same. That is a
    false assumption. If you change the base, you need to work up from

    Tarski's undefinability theorem fails. He claimed to have proved an incoherent expression of language is true, that is ridiculous.

    No, he proved the incoherent expression CONDITIONALLY, based on the
    assumption that a definitoin of Truth exsits.

    You just don't understand how a Proof By Contradiction works.


    It is accept that statements like the Liar's paradox are not truth
    holders.


    Tarski claimed to have proved that it is true, what a nut.

    No, he showed that if you assume that a definiton of Truth in a system
    of logic exists, that you can prove the Liar's Paradox.

    YOU are just proving you are an IDIOT that doesn't understand the basics
    of logic.


    The problem is that it is absolutely TRUE that Some True Statements
    are Unknowable in a sufficently powerful logic system (and that
    sufficently powerful is a fairly low hurdle).


    We cannot possibly correctly say that some statements are unknowable
    until we can prove that no finite proofs exist. Until then they are
    simply unknown.

    Right, and Godel showed a statement that can not be proven but must be
    true, because otherwise the system is able to PROVE a statement that is
    FALSE.


    You can't just try to make that statems be just the same as the Liar's
    Paradox, because they aren't.


    Gödel himself implied that his logic sentence is isomorphic to the liar paradox.

    No, he said that you can ADAPT any statement like the liar's paradox
    into his form of proof. The key is that rather than talking about the
    Truth of the statement, that in the META-THEORY the statement refers to
    its provability.


    It is a fundamental property of Knowable/Provable for systems of any
    reasonable power.


    Gödel said that any epistemological antinomy will do, thus he limited
    his proof to be based only on self-contradictory expressions of
    language.

    So you admit you just don't understand how is proof works.

    yes, the proof starts looking at the FORM of the liar's paradox, and
    transforms it in the meta-theory to a statement not about Truth but
    about Provability. Since statments of Provability are always Truth
    Bearer, and Provable statements are always True, the antinomy ends up
    forcing the rovability statement to be True but Unprovable, because if
    it was False, it would be Proven and thus must be True.



    Many of your ideas you think of as "New" are not really new, just
    you have failed to see their use in the past. They might not have

    You just don't understand his proof.

    The fact is that Tarski PROVED (not in quotes) that the Liar's Paradox
    is True

    Nope, proves you don't understand it, or even basic logic.

    Nope. Read the footnotes, this is just a "Sketch" of the proof.

    Further proof that you can't understand what you read.


    This seems to be a common error of yours, you don't read the actual

    In actuality YOU must certainly be wrong, since you are the one
    claiming something without proof that is contradicted by an actual
    vetted proof.


    Because Gödel Incompleteness is an exact isomorphism to Tarski
    Undefinability the refutation of one is a refutation of both.



    Which you haven't done, because it seems you don't understand what
    either one is doing, in part because it seems you don't actually

    Gödel said this in his footnote 14

    In other words his proof requires self-contradictory expressions of
    language or it fails and the Liar Paradox can be used for a similar undecidability proof. Tarski did that.



    Yes, and antimomy can be used as a FRAMEWORK, to transform it from a
    statement of Truth to a statement of Provabilty that lead to the
    concusion that the statement must be True and Unprovable, since if it
    was False it would be Proven, and thus must be True.

    The conflict that leads the statement to being not a Truth Bearer when
    talking about Truth of the Statement changes due to the nature of
    statements about Probabilty, that MUST be Truth Bearers, and if a
    statement is Provable, it must be True.

    This DISTINCTION between Truth and Provable (which you don't seem to understand) means that a statement when directly used becomes self-contradictory, but when transformed as described, becomes a Truth
    Bearer that shows that it must be True but Unprovable in the system.

    Note, we need to use the classical definition of Proof here, namely that
    it is only provable if a FINITE proof exists.

    WRONG. The DEFINITION of "Incomplete" is that there exist statements
    that are True that can not be Prove, with the definition of Provable
    being a Finite Proof.

    In your modified terminology, Incompletenesss is DEFINED as the

    THAT IS DEFINITION.

    In other words you are saying that unless a formal system violates its

    No, a formal system simple enough to be able to prove all true
    statements in it is what is defined as "Complete".

    Such Transforms converts a statement that is self-contradictory into a statement that must be a Truth Bearer, BECAUSE all statements, whether

    Yes, ANY Epistemolgical antimomy can be CONVERTED from a statement about
    Truth, which makes it a non-truth bearer, into a similar statement about provability, which MUST be a Truth Bearer, and forces the conclusion
    that the statement must be True and Unprovable, because the opposite

    這句話不是真的: "This sentence is not true."
    The Chinese says "This sentence is not true:" referring to the English.
    The Chinese sentence is true, The English sentence remains neither true
    nor false because it is self-contradictory.

    No need for Tarski's theory and metatheory the English/Chinese serve the
    same function in a way that is much easier to understand.

    The only reason that the Chinese sentence is true is because
    pathological self-reference(Olcott 2004) has been removed. The only
    reason why the English sentence is neither true nor false is because it
    has pathological self-reference(Olcott 2004) (it is self-contradictory).

    Tarski only proved that it is true that self-contradictory sentences are
    not true. This is not at all the same thing as proving that truth is undefinable.



    Nope, you don't understand what he is doing.

    You are just showing yourself to be incapable of understanding the logic.

    Unless you point out an ACTAUL ERROR in a specific step of the ACTUAL
    PROOF (not just the "Sketch" provided on that page) you are just showing
    you don't know anything about what is being talked about,

    All you have proved is that the logic system that you seem to be using
    is broken, becaue you don't understand how logic actually works.


    The fact that you say these pages show "The Proof" shows that you don't actually understand what a proof is in a formal system. Those pages give OUTLINE or SKETCHES of the proof, not the proof itself.

    Why do we need to paraphrase?

    He says that a "Definition" of Truth, by which he means a way to
    determine if a given arbitrary sentence expressed in the Theory is True
    or False (or not a Truth Bearer) because, if such a definition existed,
    then from that definition you could prove in the defined Meta-Theory
    that a Statement like the Liar's Paradox was actually True.

    Thus, since we know that can't be, there must not be an ability to
    define in a system of logic, a "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof) every True Statement, Disprove every false
    statement, and determine that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    What else do you think he is saying?

    Like you just said, even an idiot can just claim something is wrong.

    Note, since you aren't even showing the full chapter (which likely would

      "sentence x which is undecidable in the original theory

    ACCORDING TO THESIS A, this isn't neccesarily true if Thesis A isn't
    True. In fact, I suspect this whole section is building up to showing
    this leads to a contradiction, and thus THESIS A isn't True.

    Remeber, at the end he says:

    I should like to draw attention here to an analogous result. For every deductive science in "Which arithmetic is contained it is possible to
    specify arithmetical notions which, so to speak, belong intuitively to
    this science, but ,vhich cannot be defined on the basis of this science.
    'Vith the help of methods which are, completely analogous to those used
    in the copstruction of the definition of truth, it is nevertheless
    possible to show that these concepts can be so defined provided the
    science is enriched by the introduction of variables of higher order.


    Which points out that IN THE THEORY, there are things which can not be
    defined, but need to be expressed in a higher order Theory (the Meta Theory)

    By extension, there will be things in the Meta-Theory which can not be
    defined, but need to be expressed in an even HIGHER order Theory (a Meta-Meta-Theory) and so on.

    Thus in any Theory, or Meta^n Theory, there will ALWAYS be things that
    can not be defined.

    You don't seem to understand how proof by contradiction works, because
    you mind is too simple.

    No that is incorrect. Tarski never indicated that he understood that expressions of formal language are not necessarily truth bearers.

    This sentence is true:
    {The following sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true."}


    Thus, since we know that can't be,

    Try and think of any expression of language that is true entirely on the
    basis of its meaning that does not have truthmaker connections to these semantic meanings.

    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves that
    I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth
    makers.

    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker semantic connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous truth
    objects: "This sentence is true"

    True about what?
    True about being true.
    True about being true about what?
    True about being true about being true.

    Ah I see an infinitely recursive structure that never is never resolved
    to a truth value, thus not a truth bearer.

    there must not be an ability to
    define in a system of logic, a "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof) every True Statement, Disprove every false
    statement, and determine that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    The Goldbach Conjecture has a currently unknown Boolean value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture
    It does seem to be a truth bearer.

    Analytic Knowledge is defined as expressions of language that have a

    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in that
    theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS true in
    that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that actually is
    True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is unprovable.

    Analytic Truth is defined as expressions of language that have a finite

    Right, so some Truths will be not knownable, and thus not Provable.


    Non Truth Bearers are defined as expressions of language having no connections to any truth maker semantic meanings.

    So, your claim that All Truth is PROVABLE is refuted.

    Godel incompleteness Theory is Confirm, as is Tarski theory of no
    "Definition" of Truth.

    No that is incorrect. Tarski never indicated that he understood that

    Can yo PROVE that tement, have you read EVERYTHING he has written.


    You made a claim that he understood this thus it is up to you to cite
    your reference.

    I claim that he does not understand this otherwise he would understand
    that the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer and would have explicitly
    stated that: "the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer".

    He actually seems to understand this, because he uses the fact that
    "proving" the Liar's Paradox, based on an assumed Thesis, shows the
    assumed Thesis must be false.

    The way that Tarski said it: "This sentence is not true" is undecidable
    in his theory and true in his meta-theory.

    He never realized that what he really meant is that this sentence is not
    true in his theory: "This sentence is not true"

    and this sentence is true in his meta-theory:
    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"}


    This sentence is true:
    {The following sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true."}


    Thus, since we know that can't be,

    Try and think of any expression of language that is true entirely on the
    basis of its meaning that does not have truthmaker connections to these
    semantic meanings.

    No one is arguing that.

    Hardly anyone seems to understand that the Liar Paradox is simply not a
    truth bearer otherwise tertiary logic would have never been created.

    Every logic system only has expressions of language that are {true,
    false} or are not members of this formal system.


    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves that
    I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth
    makers.

    Right, but that doesn't make it PROVABLE by the definition of Provable.


    Every element of the set of analytic knowledge is provable and the
    remaining elements of the set of analytic truth have unknown truth
    values.


    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker semantic
    connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous truth

    "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof) every
    True Statement, Disprove every false statement, and determine that
    every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in that theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS  true in
    that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that actually is
    True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is unprovable.


    The correct "theory" of the set of analytic truth allows any order of
    reference from 0th order logic no N-ary logic.

    As Wittgenstein said true in a formal system means has been proved in
    this formal system and false in this formal system means that the
    opposite has been proved in this formal system.

    Expressions of language currently having unknown truth values that
    require infinite proofs are by definition not part of any formal system.


    The Goldbach Conjecture has a currently unknown Boolean value.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture
    It does seem to be a truth bearer.


    it MUST be a Truth Bearer, as either a number exists that breaks the
    rule, or no such number exist.


    Yes I agree, that is what I said.

    Analytic Knowledge is defined as expressions of language that have a
    finite set of connections to their truth maker semantic meanings.

    Analytic Truth is defined as expressions of language that have a finite
    or infinite set of connections to their truth maker semantic meanings.

    Right, so some Truths will be not knownable, and thus not Provable.


    And also not part of any formal system.


    Non Truth Bearers are defined as expressions of language having no
    connections to any truth maker semantic meanings.


    What else do you think he is saying?


    So, your claim that All Truth is PROVABLE is refuted.

    I did not know that infinite proofs are not allowed.

    What I meant was that every analytically true expression of language
    must have a connection to its truth maker set of semantic meanings or it
    is untrue. This connection is the proof of its truth.


    Godel incompleteness Theory is Confirm, as is Tarski theory of no "Definition" of Truth.

    (Perhaps you don't undestand what he means by that)

    Both of these are only anchored in "epistemological antinomies" (self- contradictory expressions) and thus both of these fail when these
    expressions are rejected as not members of any formal system.

    Sorry, I don't have his book, but am going off of the general principles
    I know of what he has done.

    He also might not use that exact term, but others that express the same meaning.

    You are just proving your stupidity, as you claim errors for people that

    YOU make plenty of errors, as you show yourself incapable of performing
    basic logic.

    You have yet to point out which line of the actual proof of any of the
    proofs you object to that has a demonstratable logical error.

    Until you do that, your claim that they made a mistake is not established.

    All you have done is to disagree with their conclusion, so you claim
    they must have made a mistake.

    By THAT logic, YOU MUST have made a mistake too, as your conclusing
    disagree with the proven theory.

    YOU FAIL.

    the assumption of which allows him to prove (based on that assumption)
    that the liar paradox is true, shows that it is impossible for there to
    be a Defiition of Truth within the logic system.

    What don't YOU understand about that statement?


    He actually seems to understand this, because he uses the fact that
    "proving" the Liar's Paradox, based on an assumed Thesis, shows the
    assumed Thesis must be false.

    The way that Tarski said it: "This sentence is not true" is undecidable
    in his theory and true in his meta-theory.

    BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION OF THESIS A.

    Thus, THESIS A can't be true.


    He never realized that what he really meant is that this sentence is not
    true in his theory: "This sentence is not true"

    and this sentence is true in his meta-theory:
    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"}

    Nope, that ISN'T what he is talking about. You just are not
    understanding his words.

    You have shown enough misundetandings, the most like cause of any
    disagreement between you and a respected logictian is that you don't
    actually understand what he is saying.

    This is also a natural outcome of your MISAPPLICATION of the concept of
    "First Principles".



    This sentence is true:
    {The following sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true."}


    Thus, since we know that can't be,

    Try and think of any expression of language that is true entirely on the >>> basis of its meaning that does not have truthmaker connections to these
    semantic meanings.

    No one is arguing that.

    Hardly anyone seems to understand that the Liar Paradox is simply not a
    truth bearer otherwise tertiary logic would have never been created.

    No Nearly EVERYONE understands that in Binary Logic, the Liar Paracos is
    simply not a Truth Bearer.

    Things like tertiary Logic are attempts to expand the logic system to
    see if a system of logic could handle it.

    You DO understand the concepts of differing systems of logic with
    different ground rules, don't you?

    Maybe you don't as that concept breaks you idea of an overarching
    Meta-system that all logic falls under.


    Every logic system only has expressions of language that are {true,
    false} or are not members of this formal system.

    Note members of THIS group of formal systems.

    Other formal systems have other values in their logic.



    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves that
    I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth
    makers.

    Right, but that doesn't make it PROVABLE by the definition of Provable.


    Every element of the set of analytic knowledge is provable and the
    remaining elements of the set of analytic truth have unknown truth
    values.

    Yes, KNOWLEDGE is Provavle.

    TRUTH is not necessarily, as it may have an infinite set of connections,
    which makes it outside the normal definition of Knowable.



    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker
    semantic connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous truth
    objects: "This sentence is true"

    True about what?
    True about being true.
    True about being true about what?
    True about being true about being true.

    Ah I see an infinitely recursive structure that never is never resolved
    to a truth value, thus not a truth bearer.




    there must not be an ability to define in a system of logic, a
    "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof)
    every True Statement, Disprove every false statement, and determine
    that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in
    that theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS
    true in that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that
    actually is True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is
    unprovable.


    The correct "theory" of the set of analytic truth allows any order of reference from 0th order logic no N-ary logic.

    As Wittgenstein said true in a formal system means has been proved in
    this formal system and false in this formal system means that the
    opposite has been proved in this formal system.

    And he is WRONG in that statement,


    Expressions of language currently having unknown truth values that
    require infinite proofs are by definition not part of any formal system.

    Nope, if you use that basis as a foundation of your system, you can not
    put forward a statement you haven't proven yet.

    You can't even ask if something IS provable, until you prove that you
    can determine that, which you can't ask until you prove you can do that...

    Such a system becomes tiny.

    Statements of unknow truth values, even if because of an infinte
    connection are just as much a part of a formal system, as statement of
    unkown truth values as statements that are know to be FALSE.

    You do allow making false statements in your logic (knowing them to be
    false) don't you?

    Thats the whole idea of classifying statements as Truth Bearers, so we
    can have statements that might be false to find out their value.



    The Goldbach Conjecture has a currently unknown Boolean value.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture
    It does seem to be a truth bearer.


    it MUST be a Truth Bearer, as either a number exists that breaks the
    rule, or no such number exist.


    Yes I agree, that is what I said.

    Right, so it is an analytical truth bearing statement even if it turns
    out to be impossible to prove.

    You are just contradicting yourself.

    A Mathematical statement like the Goldbach Conjecture MUST be a Truth
    Bearer, as either a number exist that defys it, or it doesn't.

    In the same way, Godel's G, which postulates that no number exists that
    has a specific property define by a partucular method must be a Truth
    Bearer.

    The fact that in the Meta Theory, the existance of such a number would
    provide, by definition, a proof in the system of G of the statement G,
    says that if the number exists, then the statement MUST be false, since
    the statement is that no such number exists, but we have a proof of that statement, so we have the proof of a false statement, which is impossible.

    Thus G must be True, and no such number exists, and thus no proof can
    exist of G, as any proof can be shown in the meta-theory, to generate a
    number in the system of G that satisfies its criteria. Thus if a Proof
    exists, it must be false, and thus we have agian proved a false statement.

    The ONLY answer, is that G is True, and no such number exists, so their
    must not be a proof of G.


    Analytic Knowledge is defined as expressions of language that have a
    finite set of connections to their truth maker semantic meanings.

    Analytic Truth is defined as expressions of language that have a finite
    or infinite set of connections to their truth maker semantic meanings.

    Right, so some Truths will be not knownable, and thus not Provable.


    And also not part of any formal system.

    But you just said they were.

    You said that Goldbachs conjecture is a statement that is a Truth
    Bearer, but its answer is not known, and may not be knowable.

    Define your terms better.

    Either unknown (which thus might be unknowable) statements are part of
    you system, or they are not. If they are not, then your system can not
    express the basic properties of the Natural Numbers, as Godel has show
    that in that system of basic properties are statements that are True but
    not provable.



    Non Truth Bearers are defined as expressions of language having no
    connections to any truth maker semantic meanings.


    What else do you think he is saying?


    So, your claim that All Truth is PROVABLE is refuted.

    I did not know that infinite proofs are not allowed.

    Why not?

    Shows you level of understand of logic systems.

    That is like First Year stuff (like high school level logic, maybe even
    middle school). I seem to remember that fact from basic Geometry, and
    again in basic Algerbra (When we were taugh why proof by induction was
    an important tool to make proofs of infinte things in a finite manner).

    If you still don't understand that after DECADES of study, it shows how
    little you understand of what you are talking about.



    What I meant was that every analytically true expression of language
    must have a connection to its truth maker set of semantic meanings or it
    is untrue. This connection is the proof of its truth.

    But not all connections that establish truth qualify as proofs, as
    proofs must be finite while infinite sets of connections can be used to establish truth.



    Godel incompleteness Theory is Confirm, as is Tarski theory of no
    "Definition" of Truth.

    (Perhaps you don't undestand what he means by that)

    Both of these are only anchored in "epistemological antinomies" (self- contradictory expressions) and thus both of these fail when these
    expressions are rejected as not members of any formal system.


    Nope, since it seems you haven't even read a GOOD sketch of the proofs,
    let alone the proof themselves.

    Note, Godel's 'G' is NOT an "epistemological antinomy" but a statement
    build on the stucture of one, but with important changes that make it
    MUST be a Truth Bearer.

    Godel's statment G is about the non-existance of a number that has a
    certian property, defined by a computation that is guaranteed to be
    finite (so thus a valid criteria for such a selection, every number can
    be tested, and will either atisfy the criteria or not).

    If you claim the actual statement of G is not a Truth Bearer, than you
    need to also accept that you logic system denies Truth Bearer status to
    many other statements that even you accept as Truth Bearers.

    Things like "Statment X is Provable", or the Goldbach's conjecture need
    to fall outside your system (at least until you actually HAVE an answer
    to them), as they are in essence, the same sorts of statements, about
    the possible existance of something in an infinite space.

    This makes your system WEAKER than Mathematics, and unable to express it.

    He says that a "Definition" of Truth, by which he means a way to

    True or False (or not a Truth Bearer) because, if such a definition
    existed, then from that definition you could prove in the defined
    Meta-Theory that a Statement like the Liar's Paradox was actually
    True.


    No that is incorrect. Tarski never indicated that he understood that
    expressions of formal language are not necessarily truth bearers.


    Can yo PROVE that tement, have you read EVERYTHING he has written.


    You made a claim that he understood this thus it is up to you to cite

    I did.


    I claim that he does not understand this otherwise he would understand

    What don't YOU understand about that statement?


    He actually seems to understand this, because he uses the fact that
    "proving" the Liar's Paradox, based on an assumed Thesis, shows the
    assumed Thesis must be false.

    The way that Tarski said it: "This sentence is not true" is undecidable
    in his theory and true in his meta-theory.

    BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION OF THESIS A.

    Thus, THESIS A can't be true.


    He never realized that what he really meant is that this sentence is
    not true in his theory: "This sentence is not true"

    and this sentence is true in his meta-theory:
    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"}

    Nope, that ISN'T what he is talking about. You just are not

    No one is arguing that.

    Hardly anyone seems to understand that the Liar Paradox is simply not a

    No Nearly EVERYONE understands that in Binary Logic, the Liar Paracos is simply not a Truth Bearer.

    Things like tertiary Logic are attempts to expand the logic system to
    see if a system of logic could handle it.

    You DO understand the concepts of differing systems of logic with
    different ground rules, don't you?

    Maybe you don't as that concept breaks you idea of an overarching
    Meta-system that all logic falls under.


    Every logic system only has expressions of language that are {true,
    false} or are not members of this formal system.

    Note members of THIS group of formal systems.

    Other formal systems have other values in their logic.



    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves that >>>> I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth
    makers.

    Right, but that doesn't make it PROVABLE by the definition of Provable.


    Every element of the set of analytic knowledge is provable and the
    remaining elements of the set of analytic truth have unknown truth
    values.

    Yes, KNOWLEDGE is Provavle.

    TRUTH is not necessarily, as it may have an infinite set of connections, which makes it outside the normal definition of Knowable.



    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker
    semantic connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous truth
    objects: "This sentence is true"

    True about what?
    True about being true.
    True about being true about what?
    True about being true about being true.

    Ah I see an infinitely recursive structure that never is never resolved >>>> to a truth value, thus not a truth bearer.




    there must not be an ability to define in a system of logic, a
    "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof)
    every True Statement, Disprove every false statement, and determine
    that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in
    that theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS
    true in that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that
    actually is True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is
    unprovable.


    The correct "theory" of the set of analytic truth allows any order of
    reference from 0th order logic no N-ary logic.

    As Wittgenstein said true in a formal system means has been proved in
    this formal system and false in this formal system means that the
    opposite has been proved in this formal system.

    And he is WRONG in that statement,

    All expressions of language that are analytically true require a
    semantic connection to their truth maker.

    Try and show how an expression of language can be true in a formal
    system when that formal system cannot express any connection to the
    required truth maker of this expression.

    What else do you think he is saying?

       "sentence x which is undecidable in the original theory

    ACCORDING TO THESIS A, this isn't neccesarily true if Thesis A isn't
    True. In fact, I suspect this whole section is building up to showing
    this leads to a contradiction, and thus THESIS A isn't True.

    Remeber, at the end he says:

    I should like to draw attention here to an analogous result. For every deductive science in "Which arithmetic is contained it is possible to
    specify arithmetical notions which, so to speak, belong intuitively to
    this science, but ,vhich cannot be defined on the basis of this science. 'Vith the help of methods which are, completely analogous to those used
    in the copstruction of the definition of truth, it is nevertheless
    possible to show that these concepts can be so defined provided the
    science is enriched by the introduction of variables of higher order.


    Which points out that IN THE THEORY, there are things which can not be defined, but need to be expressed in a higher order Theory (the Meta
    Theory)

    By extension, there will be things in the Meta-Theory which can not be defined, but need to be expressed in an even HIGHER order Theory (a Meta-Meta-Theory) and so on.


    Or we could simply begin with 0 to N order logic and express any
    analytic truth what-so-ever.

    "This sentence is not true" is at one order of logic and untrue.

    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is at one
    increment of higher order referring to the original order.

    Thus in any Theory, or Meta^n Theory, there will ALWAYS be things that
    can not be defined.


    A finite order of logic can correctly specify any finite truth.
    Most (if not all) infinite truths can be algorithmically compressed into
    some finite logic.

    You don't seem to understand how proof by contradiction works, because
    you mind is too simple.

    Right and you are one of the 16 people in the world with a six sigma IQ.
    For an MIT grad I don't see the thrill in telling outrageous lies.

    Binary Logic, and are looking for logic beyond Binary Logic to see if
    other Logical Paradigms might be able to handle that sort of thing (and actually are probably looking at things more complicated then the simple
    Liar's Paradox).


    I will admit, that are probably a lot of DUMB people, who don't
    understand logic, and are doing all sorts of dumb things, and if those
    are hiting your radar, you need a better selection filter.

    Of course, those are probably the works that you can sort of understand,
    since they are at your level.

    And actually, MOST people just understand that non-truth of the Liar's
    Paradox and they leave it at that.

    Why do we need to paraphrase?

    He says that a "Definition" of Truth, by which he means a way to
    determine if a given arbitrary sentence expressed in the Theory is
    True or False (or not a Truth Bearer) because, if such a definition
    existed, then from that definition you could prove in the defined

    Thus, since we know that can't be, there must not be an ability to
    define in a system of logic, a "Definition of Truth" that allows you
    to determine (i.e. Proof) every True Statement, Disprove every false
    statement, and determine that every non-truthbearer was a
    non-truthbearer.


    What else do you think he is saying?

       "sentence x which is undecidable in the original theory

    ACCORDING TO THESIS A, this isn't neccesarily true if Thesis A isn't
    True. In fact, I suspect this whole section is building up to showing
    this leads to a contradiction, and thus THESIS A isn't True.

    Remeber, at the end he says:

    I should like to draw attention here to an analogous result. For every
    deductive science in "Which arithmetic is contained it is possible to
    specify arithmetical notions which, so to speak, belong intuitively to

    provided the science is enriched by the introduction of variables of
    higher order.


    Which points out that IN THE THEORY, there are things which can not be
    defined, but need to be expressed in a higher order Theory (the Meta
    Theory)

    By extension, there will be things in the Meta-Theory which can not be
    defined, but need to be expressed in an even HIGHER order Theory (a
    Meta-Meta-Theory) and so on.


    Or we could simply begin with 0 to N order logic and express any
    analytic truth what-so-ever.


    Until you get to an expression that needs N+1 order logic.

    "This sentence is not true" is at one order of logic and untrue.

    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is at one
    increment of higher order referring to the original order.

    Thus in any Theory, or Meta^n Theory, there will ALWAYS be things that
    can not be defined.


    A finite order of logic can correctly specify any finite truth.
    Most (if not all) infinite truths can be algorithmically compressed into
    some finite logic.

    What is a "finite Truth", one that needs only a finite number of steps
    to get to it, you mean a PROBALBE truth?

    Why do you say that "Most" infinite truths can be algoritmically
    commpressed? What evidence do you have of that,

    And if ANY of them can't, it says you have an unprovable truth.


    You don't seem to understand how proof by contradiction works, because
    you mind is too simple.

    Right and you are one of the 16 people in the world with a six sigma IQ.
    For an MIT grad I don't see the thrill in telling outrageous lies.


    Actually, it more shows how little you should believe in single fixed
    tests. I will admit that I probably topped out the test and it wasn't
    properly calibrated at the high end, but that is the result it gave.

    Another test gave me a 150, and the tester admitted that that was as
    high as the test would go, and I was likely much higher, but that was
    more than high enough for what I was testing for.

    I put little enough faith it IQ tests that I haven't bothered trying a
    test really designed for top end people, because in my mind it doesn't
    really matter, because intelegence isn't a one dimensional thing that
    can be accurately measured.

    No that is incorrect. Tarski never indicated that he understood that >>>>> expressions of formal language are not necessarily truth bearers.


    Can yo PROVE that tement, have you read EVERYTHING he has written.


    You made a claim that he understood this thus it is up to you to cite
    your reference.

    I did.


    I claim that he does not understand this otherwise he would
    understand that the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer and would have
    explicitly stated that: "the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer".

    He knows that, that is why he points out that the fact that the
    assumption of the existance of a Definition of Truth with the system,
    the assumption of which allows him to prove (based on that assumption)
    that the liar paradox is true, shows that it is impossible for there
    to be a Defiition of Truth within the logic system.

    What don't YOU understand about that statement?


    He actually seems to understand this, because he uses the fact that
    "proving" the Liar's Paradox, based on an assumed Thesis, shows the
    assumed Thesis must be false.

    The way that Tarski said it: "This sentence is not true" is undecidable
    in his theory and true in his meta-theory.

    BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION OF THESIS A.

    Thus, THESIS A can't be true.


    He never realized that what he really meant is that this sentence is
    not true in his theory: "This sentence is not true"

    and this sentence is true in his meta-theory:
    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"}

    Nope, that ISN'T what he is talking about. You just are not
    understanding his words.

    You have shown enough misundetandings, the most like cause of any
    disagreement between you and a respected logictian is that you don't
    actually understand what he is saying.

    This is also a natural outcome of your MISAPPLICATION of the concept
    of "First Principles".



    This sentence is true:
    {The following sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true."}


    Thus, since we know that can't be,

    Try and think of any expression of language that is true entirely
    on the
    basis of its meaning that does not have truthmaker connections to
    these
    semantic meanings.

    No one is arguing that.

    Hardly anyone seems to understand that the Liar Paradox is simply not a
    truth bearer otherwise tertiary logic would have never been created.

    No Nearly EVERYONE understands that in Binary Logic, the Liar Paracos
    is simply not a Truth Bearer.

    Things like tertiary Logic are attempts to expand the logic system to
    see if a system of logic could handle it.

    You DO understand the concepts of differing systems of logic with
    different ground rules, don't you?

    Maybe you don't as that concept breaks you idea of an overarching
    Meta-system that all logic falls under.


    Every logic system only has expressions of language that are {true,
    false} or are not members of this formal system.

    Note members of THIS group of formal systems.

    Other formal systems have other values in their logic.



    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves
    that
    I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth
    makers.

    Right, but that doesn't make it PROVABLE by the definition of Provable. >>>>

    Every element of the set of analytic knowledge is provable and the
    remaining elements of the set of analytic truth have unknown truth
    values.

    Yes, KNOWLEDGE is Provavle.

    TRUTH is not necessarily, as it may have an infinite set of
    connections, which makes it outside the normal definition of Knowable.



    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker
    semantic connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous
    truth objects: "This sentence is true"

    True about what?
    True about being true.
    True about being true about what?
    True about being true about being true.

    Ah I see an infinitely recursive structure that never is never
    resolved
    to a truth value, thus not a truth bearer.




    there must not be an ability to define in a system of logic, a
    "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof)
    every True Statement, Disprove every false statement, and
    determine that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in
    that theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS
    true in that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that
    actually is True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is
    unprovable.


    The correct "theory" of the set of analytic truth allows any order of
    reference from 0th order logic no N-ary logic.

    As Wittgenstein said true in a formal system means has been proved in
    this formal system and false in this formal system means that the
    opposite has been proved in this formal system.

    And he is WRONG in that statement,

    All expressions of language that are analytically true require a
    semantic connection to their truth maker.

    Try and show how an expression of language can be true in a formal
    system when that formal system cannot express any connection to the
    required truth maker of this expression.


    So you still don't understand the difference between having a semantic connenction (which might be infinite) to being proven (which must be
    finite in the system in question).

    If you redefine proof to allow an infinite proof, then you are working
    in a different system then everyone else, and you need to start at the beginning to find out what the actual rules are in your system, but you
    will still find that, if you system is of comparable strength, there
    will still be True statements whose Truth can not be KNOWN by finite
    logic (which is all we can actually use, being finite beings).

    As I have said, a prime example is asking about the existance of a proof
    or a number with a property. Either that proof or number exists, which
    can be demonstrated in a finite number of steps, but the non-existance
    of such, might be based on a infinite connection, so it may not be
    possible to actually PROVE the non-existance, but the non-existence is
    actually TRUE.

    The existance or non-existance is a Truth Bearer in normal logic, as
    there is no middle ground for this sort of thing.

    And actually, MOST people just understand that non-truth of the Liar's Paradox and they leave it at that.


    Tarski "proved" that truth cannot be specified and used the Liar Paradox
    as the foundation of this proof.

    That is like proving the angel food cakes cannot be baked because the
    cannot be made from house bricks.

    His entire proof is on pages 275-276: http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf

    No that is incorrect. Tarski never indicated that he understood that >>>>>> expressions of formal language are not necessarily truth bearers.


    Can yo PROVE that tement, have you read EVERYTHING he has written.


    You made a claim that he understood this thus it is up to you to cite
    your reference.

    I did.


    I claim that he does not understand this otherwise he would
    understand that the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer and would
    have explicitly stated that: "the Liar Paradox is not a truth bearer".

    He knows that, that is why he points out that the fact that the
    assumption of the existance of a Definition of Truth with the system,
    the assumption of which allows him to prove (based on that
    assumption) that the liar paradox is true, shows that it is
    impossible for there to be a Defiition of Truth within the logic system. >>>
    What don't YOU understand about that statement?


    He actually seems to understand this, because he uses the fact that
    "proving" the Liar's Paradox, based on an assumed Thesis, shows the
    assumed Thesis must be false.

    The way that Tarski said it: "This sentence is not true" is undecidable >>>> in his theory and true in his meta-theory.

    BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION OF THESIS A.

    Thus, THESIS A can't be true.


    He never realized that what he really meant is that this sentence is
    not true in his theory: "This sentence is not true"

    and this sentence is true in his meta-theory:
    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"}

    Nope, that ISN'T what he is talking about. You just are not
    understanding his words.

    You have shown enough misundetandings, the most like cause of any
    disagreement between you and a respected logictian is that you don't
    actually understand what he is saying.

    This is also a natural outcome of your MISAPPLICATION of the concept
    of "First Principles".



    This sentence is true:
    {The following sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true."} >>>>>>

    Thus, since we know that can't be,

    Try and think of any expression of language that is true entirely
    on the
    basis of its meaning that does not have truthmaker connections to
    these
    semantic meanings.

    No one is arguing that.

    Hardly anyone seems to understand that the Liar Paradox is simply not a >>>> truth bearer otherwise tertiary logic would have never been created.

    No Nearly EVERYONE understands that in Binary Logic, the Liar Paracos
    is simply not a Truth Bearer.

    Things like tertiary Logic are attempts to expand the logic system to
    see if a system of logic could handle it.

    You DO understand the concepts of differing systems of logic with
    different ground rules, don't you?

    Maybe you don't as that concept breaks you idea of an overarching
    Meta-system that all logic falls under.


    Every logic system only has expressions of language that are {true,
    false} or are not members of this formal system.

    Note members of THIS group of formal systems.

    Other formal systems have other values in their logic.



    If no such counter example exists in the universe then that proves >>>>>> that
    I am correct about the requirement of semantic connections to truth >>>>>> makers.

    Right, but that doesn't make it PROVABLE by the definition of
    Provable.


    Every element of the set of analytic knowledge is provable and the
    remaining elements of the set of analytic truth have unknown truth
    values.

    Yes, KNOWLEDGE is Provavle.

    TRUTH is not necessarily, as it may have an infinite set of
    connections, which makes it outside the normal definition of Knowable.



    Self-contradictory expressions of language have no truthmaker
    semantic connections.

    This also applies to expressions of language that have vacuous
    truth objects: "This sentence is true"

    True about what?
    True about being true.
    True about being true about what?
    True about being true about being true.

    Ah I see an infinitely recursive structure that never is never
    resolved
    to a truth value, thus not a truth bearer.




    there must not be an ability to define in a system of logic, a
    "Definition of Truth" that allows you to determine (i.e. Proof)
    every True Statement, Disprove every false statement, and
    determine that every non-truthbearer was a non-truthbearer.


    The possible requirement of an infinite proof requires that some
    expressions of language can only have an unknown Boolean value.
    We can't even tell that they definitely require an infinite proof.

    Right, its value is unknown in that Thoery, and thus unprovable in
    that theory. A Meta-Theory may be able to show that it actually IS
    true in that theory, and thus we have in the Theory a statment that
    actually is True (but not KNOWN to be true in the Theory) that is
    unprovable.


    The correct "theory" of the set of analytic truth allows any order
    of reference from 0th order logic no N-ary logic.

    As Wittgenstein said true in a formal system means has been proved in
    this formal system and false in this formal system means that the
    opposite has been proved in this formal system.

    And he is WRONG in that statement,

    All expressions of language that are analytically true require a
    semantic connection to their truth maker.

    Try and show how an expression of language can be true in a formal
    system when that formal system cannot express any connection to the
    required truth maker of this expression.


    So you still don't understand the difference between having a semantic connenction (which might be infinite) to being proven (which must be
    finite in the system in question).


    Tarski and Gödel were not referring to infinite proofs, thus infinite
    proofs are irrelevant to Tarski and Gödel.

    When we exclude things that are irrelevant to Tarski and Gödel then
    True(x) means that there is a semantic connection to a truth maker thus providing the path for a formal proof.

    Not in the ballpark of anywhere nearly correct. They both anchor their

    bearers. No infinite proof is required, simply reject the

    So they are talking about things that are Analytic Truths because they

    (and thus not a proof).

    For instance, Godel sentence G is True, because there does not exist any
    number that matches the criteria (as G claims), demonstratable by noting
    that every number (all infinte number of them) when tested by the criteria.

    The statement is not provable, because, as shown in the Meta Theory,
    there is no finite proof of G in existance, since if there WAS one, then
    from that proof we could compute a number g that would satisfy the
    criteria, which we just established there was none.

    You keep on trying to say that G is not a Analytic Truth, when it is,
    because it IS connected to known Truth Bearers via a set of Semantic Connections, even though infinite.

    The problem is you just don't understand the statements, so you can't
    see the connections.

    Of course, those are probably the works that you can sort of

    And actually, MOST people just understand that non-truth of the Liar's

    Tarski "proved" that truth cannot be specified and used the Liar Paradox
    as the foundation of this proof.

    Not quite.

    He Showed that if you presume a complete specification for truth could
    exist in a system, that it is neccessarily possible to prove that the
    Liar's Paradox is True.

    Since we know that is a false statement, the Premise assumed must be False.


    That is like proving the angel food cakes cannot be baked because the
    cannot be made from house bricks.


    Just shows you don't understand the technique of Proof By Contradiction. Perhaps because your logic system can't handle it.


    His entire proof is on pages 275-276: http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf

    You don't need to search for sinppets, your need to read it fully to

    Maybe Tarski made that same mistake you are are making.
    If Tarski believed that he proved this sentence is true in his
    meta-theory: "This sentence is not true" then Tarski made a terrible
    mistake.

    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"} would be true.
    "This sentence is not true" is never true.

    My key skill from software engineering is to boil complex things down to
    their barest possible essence. Tarski already mostly did that for Gödel.

    Did you verify that his proof is only two pages yet?

    First, you confuse Intelgence with Knowledge.

    As I have mentioned before, this is an area that I admit I haven't
    studied in great detail (but it seems I still understand some of the
    point better than you, which shows your lack of intelegence).

    You claim Tarski bases his proof on the Liar needing a Truth Value.

    In fact, a simple reading of the text shows that he is using the
    standard Proof by Contradiction to show that IF the "Thesis A" which
    resumes a definition of Truth was actually True, then we can prove that
    the Liar's Paradox is True.

    Since we know the Liar's Paradox is not a Truth Bearer, and thus not
    True, the Thesis can not be true.

    IF I find the time, I might put the effort to read the papers you have
    linked to and see if I can make some more detailed comments on them.

    My first guess is a few days effort would probably be sufficent, which
    compared to your decades, seems a reasonable ratio considering our
    comparative intelegence.

    Nope, you just show you don't know what you are taking about.

    What in the question of if a number existes with a property defined by
    an always halting program is a epistemological antinomy?

    Since that IS what Godel statement G is.

    The epistemolgical antinomey is used help derive the nature of that

    truth of a statement into about the proof of a statement (which is

    Your repeating this error just shows that you haven't actually read any

    So you still don't understand the difference between having a
    semantic connenction (which might be infinite) to being proven
    (which must be finite in the system in question).


    Tarski and Gödel were not referring to infinite proofs, thus
    infinite proofs are irrelevant to Tarski and Gödel.

    Right


    When we exclude things that are irrelevant to Tarski and Gödel then
    True(x) means that there is a semantic connection to a truth maker
    thus providing the path for a formal proof.


    So they are talking about things that are Analytic Truths because
    they are connected to a known Truth Maker by an infinite series of
    connections, but are not Provable, because that connection is
    Infinite (and thus not a proof).


    Not in the ballpark of anywhere nearly correct. They both anchor their
    work in epistemological antinomies that are necessarily not truth
    bearers. No infinite proof is required, simply reject the
    epistemological antinomy as not any member of any formal system.


    Nope, you just show you don't know what you are taking about.

    What in the question of if a number existes with a property defined by
    an always halting program is a epistemological antinomy?

    Since that IS what Godel statement G is.

    The epistemolgical antinomey is used help derive the nature of that
    always halting program, as it is transformed from a statement about the
    truth of a statement into about the proof of a statement (which is
    always a Truth Beared)

    Your repeating this error just shows that you haven't actually read any
    good description of what Godel did.

    You are just showing your total ignorance of the material you have been "studing" for decades.

    Tarski essentially greatly simplified the same proof that Gödel did.
    That he anchored this proof in an epistemological antinomy was his big
    mistake. You cannot correctly use an untrue expression as a basis for
    analyzing the notion of truth, untrue expressions are simply excluded.

    Where are you getting the term "Finite Truth".

    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.

    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have
    crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing what is
    known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking of
    what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is actually True.

    Of course, those are probably the works that you can sort of
    understand, since they are at your level.

    And actually, MOST people just understand that non-truth of the
    Liar's Paradox and they leave it at that.


    Tarski "proved" that truth cannot be specified and used the Liar
    Paradox as the foundation of this proof.

    Not quite.

    He Showed that if you presume a complete specification for truth could
    exist in a system, that it is neccessarily possible to prove that the
    Liar's Paradox is True.


    Maybe Tarski made that same mistake you are are making.
    If Tarski believed that he proved this sentence is true in his
    meta-theory: "This sentence is not true" then Tarski made a terrible
    mistake.

    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"} would be true.
    "This sentence is not true" is never true.

    My key skill from software engineering is to boil complex things down to their barest possible essence. Tarski already mostly did that for Gödel.

    Did you verify that his proof is only two pages yet?

    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf


    Where in those pages do you see your summary expressed?

    Note, the construction of the Meta Theory is such that any statement in
    the Theory means exactly the same thing in the Meta Theory, so it isn't
    the meta theory having a statement referencing the statement in the
    theory, but is a proof of the actual original statement.

    The proof you reference on pages 275-276 is just a simple proof that it
    is possible to construct in the Theory a statement that says, in effect,
    that statement x is not provable in the Theory if and only if p is True.
    With p being a reference to the whole sentence (Which is sort of Godels statement in the Meta-theory),

    This is NOT the "Liars Paradox", as the liar's paradox is about a
    statement being TRUE, not about it being PROVABLE. (and in fact, it
    looks like the top of page 275 is him showing why this statement IS a
    Truth Bearer, using his words that "We can construct a sentence x of the science in question". I beleive you will find this is his terminology to describe sentneces which are what you call Truth Bearers.

    Since the premise x is provable, or it is not true that x is provable
    are BY DEFINITION truth bears.

    Also, x being an element of the True Statements is ALSO a truth bearer,
    as if x was a non-truth bearer, that statement would be false (as
    non-truth beares are not true).

    He then manipulates these terms and shows that neither x or not x are in
    the set of provable statements, but x is in the set of True Statements
    (since if x was not true, it would be provable, but provabe statements
    are always true).

    If you want to point out exactly which step in this proof you think he
    makes an error.

    I think you intend to make it about the statement x not being a truth
    bearer, but he shows from the material at the begining of page 275 that
    it IS, but mostly by refering to other parts of his work which he is
    assuming you understand at this point.

    If you want to disagree with the statement being a Truth Bearer, or as
    he calls it "A Sentence of the Science", you need to show where the
    things he references are wrong.

    Again, it seems to be another of your errors by reading just the cliff
    notes and not actually understanding what he is saying.

    In partictular, I think you need to find the error in the previous proof
    for the sentence:

    In accordance with the first part of Th. I we can obtain the negation of
    one of the sentences in condition (a) of convention T of §3 as a
    consequence of the definition of the symbol 'Pr' (provided we replace
    'Tr' in this convention by 'Pr').

    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    The outer-sentence has the same words as the inner sentence yet has a

    x is true if and only if x is unprovable

    x is true if and only if x lacks the required semantic connection to a
    truth maker is false.

    It is the same sort of thing as saying that one can only bake an angel

    Since the premise x is provable, or it is not true that x is provable
    are BY DEFINITION truth bears.


    It is not a little bear that always tells the truth, it is that the
    expression of language has a Boolean semantic value of true or false.

    Also, x being an element of the True Statements is ALSO a truth bearer,
    as if x was a non-truth bearer, that statement would be false (as

    First, you confuse Intelgence with Knowledge.

    As I have mentioned before, this is an area that I admit I haven't
    studied in great detail (but it seems I still understand some of the
    point better than you, which shows your lack of intelegence).

    You claim Tarski bases his proof on the Liar needing a Truth Value.

    In fact, a simple reading of the text shows that he is using the
    standard Proof by Contradiction to show that IF the "Thesis A" which
    resumes a definition of Truth was actually True, then we can prove
    that the Liar's Paradox is True.

    Since we know the Liar's Paradox is not a Truth Bearer, and thus not
    True, the Thesis can not be true.

    IF I find the time, I might put the effort to read the papers you
    have linked to and see if I can make some more detailed comments on
    them.

    My first guess is a few days effort would probably be sufficent,
    which compared to your decades, seems a reasonable ratio considering
    our comparative intelegence.

    Finite Truth is all about showing that a truth maker semantic
    connection exists. If exists then true else untrue.


    Where are you getting the term "Finite Truth".


    Even a guy with a top 1% IQ would be able to figure out from our prior
    context that I must mean expressions of language that have finite
    semantic connections to their truth maker.

    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.


    Off topic because we are only talking about Tarski's simplification of
    Gödel. The liar paradox has zero semantic connections to a truth maker,
    thus lacks infinite connections to a truth maker.

    As I have already pointed out Prolog detects and rejects both the liar
    paradox and the simplified Gödel sentence on the basis that they lack connections to their truth maker.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies
    “some kind of infinite structure.” that causes the LP expression to be rejected by unify_with_occurs_check.

    This is not saying that the LP has an infinite proof it is saying that
    the LP never reaches a truth maker.

    "This sentence is not true"
    It is not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true.
    It is not true about being not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true about being not true...

    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have
    crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing what is known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking of
    what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is actually True.

    It is not that I keep confusing these terms it is that you continue to
    fail to understand that it can be proven in a finite number of steps
    that the LP has no semantic connection to any truth maker.

    Here is an example of formalizing the Liar Paradox in C++

    void main()
    {
    bool LP = (LP != true);
    }

    Even the “C++” compiler recognizes the value is tested before it has
    been initialized.

    You can see that the proof is only two pages long, not too much to
    carefully study.

    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf


    First, you confuse Intelgence with Knowledge.

    As I have mentioned before, this is an area that I admit I haven't
    studied in great detail (but it seems I still understand some of the
    point better than you, which shows your lack of intelegence).

    You claim Tarski bases his proof on the Liar needing a Truth Value.

    In fact, a simple reading of the text shows that he is using the
    standard Proof by Contradiction to show that IF the "Thesis A" which
    resumes a definition of Truth was actually True, then we can prove
    that the Liar's Paradox is True.

    Since we know the Liar's Paradox is not a Truth Bearer, and thus not
    True, the Thesis can not be true.

    IF I find the time, I might put the effort to read the papers you
    have linked to and see if I can make some more detailed comments on
    them.

    My first guess is a few days effort would probably be sufficent,
    which compared to your decades, seems a reasonable ratio considering
    our comparative intelegence.

    Finite Truth is all about showing that a truth maker semantic
    connection exists. If exists then true else untrue.


    Where are you getting the term "Finite Truth".

    Even a guy with a top 1% IQ would be able to figure out from our prior context that I must mean expressions of language that have finite
    semantic connections to their truth maker.
    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.

    Off topic because we are only talking about Tarski's simplification of Gödel. The liar paradox has zero semantic connections to a truth maker, thus lacks infinite connections to a truth maker.

    As I have already pointed out Prolog detects and rejects both the liar paradox and the simplified Gödel sentence on the basis that they lack connections to their truth maker.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies “some kind of infinite structure.” that causes the LP expression to be rejected by unify_with_occurs_check.

    This is not saying that the LP has an infinite proof it is saying that
    the LP never reaches a truth maker.
    "This sentence is not true"
    It is not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true.
    It is not true about being not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true about being not true...
    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing what is known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking of
    what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is actually True.
    It is not that I keep confusing these terms it is that you continue to
    fail to understand that it can be proven in a finite number of steps
    that the LP has no semantic connection to any truth maker.

    Here is an example of formalizing the Liar Paradox in C++

    void main()
    {
    bool LP = (LP != true);
    }

    Even the “C++” compiler recognizes the value is tested before it has been initialized.

    I don't think that all the people writing papers about how to

    Most INTELEGENT people trying to resolve the Liar's Paradox
    understand Binary Logic, and are looking for logic beyond Binary
    Logic to see if other Logical Paradigms might be able to handle
    that sort of thing (and actually are probably looking at things
    more complicated then the simple Liar's Paradox).


    Anyone that is trying to resolve an expression of language that is
    not a
    truth bearer to a truth value is on a fools errand.


    I will admit, that are probably a lot of DUMB people, who don't
    understand logic, and are doing all sorts of dumb things, and if
    those are hiting your radar, you need a better selection filter.


    Saul Kripke was by no means any sort of dumb
    https://www.impan.pl/~kz/truthseminar/Kripke_Outline.pdf

    And he isn't trying to say the Liar's Paradox is a Truth Beared.

    At a quick glance he seems to be working on logic that handles
    ill-defined statments with partial knowledge


    Of course, those are probably the works that you can sort of
    understand, since they are at your level.

    And actually, MOST people just understand that non-truth of the
    Liar's Paradox and they leave it at that.


    Tarski "proved" that truth cannot be specified and used the Liar
    Paradox as the foundation of this proof.

    Not quite.

    He Showed that if you presume a complete specification for truth
    could exist in a system, that it is neccessarily possible to prove
    that the Liar's Paradox is True.


    Maybe Tarski made that same mistake you are are making.
    If Tarski believed that he proved this sentence is true in his
    meta-theory: "This sentence is not true" then Tarski made a terrible
    mistake.

    {This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"} would be true.
    "This sentence is not true" is never true.

    My key skill from software engineering is to boil complex things down
    to their barest possible essence. Tarski already mostly did that for
    Gödel.

    Did you verify that his proof is only two pages yet?

    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf


    Where in those pages do you see your summary expressed?

    Note, the construction of the Meta Theory is such that any statement
    in the Theory means exactly the same thing in the Meta Theory, so it
    isn't the meta theory having a statement referencing the statement in
    the theory, but is a proof of the actual original statement.


    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    The outer-sentence has the same words as the inner sentence yet has a different semantic meaning because the inner sentence is self-
    referential and the outer sentence is not self-referential.

    And where are you getting these two sentences from?



    The proof you reference on pages 275-276 is just a simple proof that
    it is possible to construct in the Theory a statement that says, in
    effect, that statement x is not provable in the Theory if and only if
    p is True. With p being a reference to the whole sentence (Which is
    sort of Godels statement in the Meta-theory),


    LP := "this sentence is not true" // theory
    ~True(LP) // meta-theory

    Nope, you apperently don't understand the concept of a Meta Theory.

    Sentence x exists in the domain of the Theory.

    That exact same Sentence exist in the Meta-Theory, not a sentence
    REFERING to the sentence in the Theory. It means the same thing, but
    with a wider context by the definition of the Meta Theory.


    This is NOT the "Liars Paradox", as the liar's paradox is about a
    statement being TRUE, not about it being PROVABLE. (and in fact, it

      Everywhere, both in the formulation of the
      theorem and in its proof, we replace the symbol 'Tr' by the
      symbol 'Pr' which denotes the class of all provable sentences
      of the theory under consideration

    *Tarski used Pr as a proxy for Tr*

    You understand that is a direct result of the Theory he referenced?

    This is no "Proxy".

    Maybe you need to study THAT Theory to understand it.


    (3) x ∉ Pr if and only if x ∈ Tr.

    x ∉ Provable if and only if x ∈ True.
    ~Provable(x) ↔ True(x).
    x is true if and only if x is unprovable

    x is true if and only if x lacks the required semantic connection to a
    truth maker is false.

    It is the same sort of thing as saying that one can only bake an angel
    food cake when one lacks the ingredients for an angel food cake.

    Nope, You are arguing with the result of the mentioned Theory.

    Try to find the flaw in its proof.

    It is a necessary consequence of the requirements of the system that
    such a statement is allowed to be created.

    Your failure to understand it shows how LOW your IQ is.



    looks like the top of page 275 is him showing why this statement IS a
    Truth Bearer, using his words that "We can construct a sentence x of
    the science in question". I beleive you will find this is his
    terminology to describe sentneces which are what you call Truth Bearers.

    Since the premise x is provable, or it is not true that x is provable
    are BY DEFINITION truth bears.


    It is not a little bear that always tells the truth, it is that the expression of language has a Boolean semantic value of true or false.

    Right. The statements x is Provable, x is not Provable, and x is True
    are all statements which are Truth Bearers.

    From the previously mentiond Theory, the whole statement is a Truth
    Bearer, and that Requires that the only possible case is that x is True
    and x is not Provable.

    You can't just take a proven statement and say it can't be true because
    you don't like it or it breaks something you would like to be a rule.

    If you think Tarski is incorrect in making that statement, you have to
    find the error in him making it, and since it is based directly on a
    Theorem that he proved, you need to find the error in that proof, which
    it seems you haven't even read.

    Limiting your definition of "True" to finite connections is the
    equivalent of limiting it to Provable, which has been shown (though you
    don't understand it) to leads either logic system that are constrained
    in what they can handle, or they become inconsistent.

    If that is the sort of logic system you want to talk about, ok, but make
    it clear, and admit you aren't talking about fields like the properties
    of the Natural Numbers.


    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.


    Off topic because we are only talking about Tarski's simplification of Gödel. The liar paradox has zero semantic connections to a truth maker,
    thus lacks infinite connections to a truth maker.

    No, OM TOPIC because that is the definition of Truth used by everyone
    you are talking about.

    Maybe the point is that everything YOU are talking about has been OFF
    TOPIC because you aren't talking about the logic systems you claim to.


    As I have already pointed out Prolog detects and rejects both the liar paradox and the simplified Gödel sentence on the basis that they lack connections to their truth maker.

    So, your "Simplified Godel Sentence" isn't actually the Godel Sentence,
    and the fact you think they are equivalent shows your ignorance.


    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of

    Sentence as Prolog doesn't implement a high enough level of logic.


    This is not saying that the LP has an infinite proof it is saying that
    the LP never reaches a truth maker.

    Who ever said the Liar Paradox has an infinite proof.

    The fact you are making that claim just shows you don't understand the
    problems you are talking about.

    Note, when Tarski "Proves" the statement that is like the Liar's
    Paradox, he does so with a finite proof, but he does it by assuming a Hypothosis which shows that that Hypothosis can't be true, thus proving
    it false.

    That is a standard Proof by Contradiction.


    "This sentence is not true"
    It is not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true.
    It is not true about being not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true about being not true...

    Which isn't done in the proofs.

    The fact you think it is shows you don't understand them.


    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have
    crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing what
    is known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking of
    what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is actually True.

    It is not that I keep confusing these terms it is that you continue to
    fail to understand that it can be proven in a finite number of steps
    that the LP has no semantic connection to any truth maker.

    So?

    No one is arguing that fact.

    You do like to serve your Herring with Red Sauce.


    Here is an example of formalizing the Liar Paradox in C++

    void main()
    {
      bool LP = (LP != true);
    }

    Which isn't actually the Liar's Paradox, because the computation model
    of C++ doesn't provide for a way to express it.

    Even the “C++” compiler recognizes the value is tested before it has
    been initialized.

    Right, so the compiler recognises that you did it wrong.

    You are just proving you don't understand what you are talking about.

    The subset of expressions of language that have finite semantic

    than the set of expressions of language having semantic connections
    to their truth maker.

    Limiting your definition of "True" to finite connections is the
    equivalent of limiting it to Provable, which has been shown (though you
    don't understand it) to leads either logic system that are constrained

    Not at all. It leads to rejecting expressions of language that have no
    possible connection to any truth maker. Prolog can already do this.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    If that is the sort of logic system you want to talk about, ok, but make
    it clear, and admit you aren't talking about fields like the properties

    Any expression of formal or natural language that cannot possibly have
    any connection to a truth maker is not true. Epistemological antinomies
    cannot possibly have a semantic connection to any truth maker, thus are
    always untrue.


    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.


    Off topic because we are only talking about Tarski's simplification of

    Maybe the point is that everything YOU are talking about has been OFF

    Everyone that I have been talking to believes that sentences can be true
    and lack any semantic connection to a truth maker because formal logic

    As I have already pointed out Prolog detects and rejects both the liar

    So, your "Simplified Godel Sentence" isn't actually the Godel Sentence,
    and the fact you think they are equivalent shows your ignorance.


    14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar
    undecidability proof.

    thus the Liar Paradox can be used as a proxy for the Gödel sentence.


    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    Then you understand it incorrectly.


    This is not saying that the LP has an infinite proof it is saying that
    the LP never reaches a truth maker.

    Who ever said the Liar Paradox has an infinite proof.


    Ah so now you see that you have been off-topic with your reference to
    infinite connections to semantic truth makers.

    The fact you are making that claim just shows you don't understand the problems you are talking about.

    Note, when Tarski "Proves" the statement that is like the Liar's
    Paradox, he does so with a finite proof, but he does it by assuming a Hypothosis which shows that that Hypothosis can't be true, thus proving

    If Tarski in any way proved that the Liar Paradox is true then Tarski necessarily made a mistake because the Liar Paradox has zero finite or
    infinite connections to any truth maker.

    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    is true.

    That is a standard Proof by Contradiction.


    "This sentence is not true"
    It is not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true.
    It is not true about being not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true about being not true...

    Which isn't done in the proofs.


    That is their mistake. The LP is recognized and rejected by Prolog.

    The fact you think it is shows you don't understand them.


    That brand new knowledge does not conform to preexisting misconceptions
    is the way that brand new knowledge is supposed to work.


    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have
    crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing what
    is known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking of
    what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is actually True.

    It is not that I keep confusing these terms it is that you continue to
    fail to understand that it can be proven in a finite number of steps
    that the LP has no semantic connection to any truth maker.

    So?

    No one is arguing that fact.

    You do like to serve your Herring with Red Sauce.

    That Gödel and Tarski did not reject epistemological antinomies as not
    members of any formal system was their mistake.


    Here is an example of formalizing the Liar Paradox in C++

    void main()
    {
       bool LP = (LP != true);
    }

    Which isn't actually the Liar's Paradox, because the computation model
    of C++ doesn't provide for a way to express it.

    It *is* exactly the Liar Paradox in that it exactly assigns a vacuous
    Boolean value to itself. Prolog detects this and rejects it.


    Even the “C++” compiler recognizes the value is tested before it has
    been initialized.

    Right, so the compiler recognises that you did it wrong.

    You are just proving you don't understand what you are talking about.

    The C++ compiler detects that LP is attempting to assign a Boolean value
    to itself before this value has been initialized. That is *exactly* what
    the Liar Paradox is doing.

    You have not demonstrated any very significant understanding of

    A guy with a top 1% IQ might make these mistakes if they barely

    You can see that the proof is only two pages long, not too much
    to carefully study.

    http://www.thatmarcusfamily.org/philosophy/Course_Websites/Readings/Tarski%20-%20The%20Concept%20of%20Truth%20in%20Formalized%20Languages.pdf


    First, you confuse Intelgence with Knowledge.

    As I have mentioned before, this is an area that I admit I haven't >>>>>> studied in great detail (but it seems I still understand some of
    the point better than you, which shows your lack of intelegence).

    You claim Tarski bases his proof on the Liar needing a Truth Value. >>>>>>
    In fact, a simple reading of the text shows that he is using the
    standard Proof by Contradiction to show that IF the "Thesis A"
    which resumes a definition of Truth was actually True, then we can >>>>>> prove that the Liar's Paradox is True.

    Since we know the Liar's Paradox is not a Truth Bearer, and thus
    not True, the Thesis can not be true.

    IF I find the time, I might put the effort to read the papers you
    have linked to and see if I can make some more detailed comments
    on them.

    My first guess is a few days effort would probably be sufficent,
    which compared to your decades, seems a reasonable ratio
    considering our comparative intelegence.

    Finite Truth is all about showing that a truth maker semantic
    connection exists. If exists then true else untrue.


    Where are you getting the term "Finite Truth".


    Even a guy with a top 1% IQ would be able to figure out from our prior
    context that I must mean expressions of language that have finite
    semantic connections to their truth maker.

    Which means you aren't talking about ANYTHING that anyone else we have
    been talking about would call "True", and thus meaningless for this
    conversation.


    The subset of expressions of language that have finite semantic
    connections to their truth maker is not an entirely different subject
    than the set of expressions of language having semantic connections
    to their truth maker.

    Limiting your definition of "True" to finite connections is the
    equivalent of limiting it to Provable, which has been shown (though
    you don't understand it) to leads either logic system that are
    constrained in what they can handle, or they become inconsistent.


    Not at all. It leads to rejecting expressions of language that have no possible connection to any truth maker. Prolog can already do this.

    Bo, it leads to rejecting expression of language that DO have a
    connection to a truth maker, because such a connect is infinite.


    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Fallacy of Proof by Example.

    Proving your Stupidity.


    If that is the sort of logic system you want to talk about, ok, but
    make it clear, and admit you aren't talking about fields like the
    properties of the Natural Numbers.


    Any expression of formal or natural language that cannot possibly have
    any connection to a truth maker is not true. Epistemological antinomies cannot possibly have a semantic connection to any truth maker, thus are always untrue.

    So? I haven't been talking about Epistemological antinomies having a
    semantic connection to a truth maker, but that some actually TRUE
    statement, having an infinite set of connections to a Truth Maker,
    actually ARE TRUE by definition, but are also not provable, since a
    proof needs a FINITE connect.

    The fact you keep going to the antinomies shows you don't understand
    this basic concept, because you are just too stupid,

    It seems your mind is just too small to understand the concept of an
    infinite set.



    Truth is allowed to be base on a infinite set of connections.


    Off topic because we are only talking about Tarski's simplification of
    Gödel. The liar paradox has zero semantic connections to a truth maker, >>> thus lacks infinite connections to a truth maker.

    No, OM TOPIC because that is the definition of Truth used by everyone
    you are talking about.


    Epistemological antinomies are proven to lack a semantic connection to
    any truth maker.

    So?


    It seems you don't understand the topic you are talking about, which
    seems to be about TRUTH.


    Maybe the point is that everything YOU are talking about has been OFF
    TOPIC because you aren't talking about the logic systems you claim to.


    Everyone that I have been talking to believes that sentences can be true
    and lack any semantic connection to a truth maker because formal logic
    makes sure to ignore semantics as off-topic.

    Then you are talking to a lot of people just as dumb as you.

    Note, most logic system actually use semantics to establish the
    fundamental properties, and then use semantic preserving syntatic transformations to do the logic.

    Trying to do abstract logic with JUST semantic operations is extreamely difficult, if not impossible.



    As I have already pointed out Prolog detects and rejects both the liar
    paradox and the simplified Gödel sentence on the basis that they lack
    connections to their truth maker.

    So, your "Simplified Godel Sentence" isn't actually the Godel
    Sentence, and the fact you think they are equivalent shows your
    ignorance.


       14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar
          undecidability proof.

    thus the Liar Paradox can be used as a proxy for the Gödel sentence.

    Nope, just shows you don't understand what he is doing.

    Since you don't understand how the proof works, you don't understand
    what that statement says.



    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies
    “some kind of infinite structure.” that causes the LP expression to be >>> rejected by unify_with_occurs_check.

    Note, Prolog, as I understand it, would be incapable of handling Godel
    Sentence as Prolog doesn't implement a high enough level of logic.


    Then you understand it incorrectly.

    Really, can you use Prolog to show something as simple as the
    Communtivity of addition?



    This is not saying that the LP has an infinite proof it is saying that
    the LP never reaches a truth maker.

    Who ever said the Liar Paradox has an infinite proof.


    Ah so now you see that you have been off-topic with your reference to infinite connections to semantic truth makers.

    Nope, are you claiming that an infinite connect to a Truth Maker does
    NOT make a statement True?

    If so, then the statement "x is not Provable" might not be a Truth
    Bearer, as that fact might require an infinite set of connections.

    Which also means that "x is Provable" might not be a Truth Bearer as
    showing it to be False may require an infinite set of connections.

    This also means that "x is a True Statement" might not b a Truth Bearer
    as showing it false may require an infinite set of connections,

    and thus you system might not be able to talk about what it can talk about.


    The fact you are making that claim just shows you don't understand the
    problems you are talking about.

    Note, when Tarski "Proves" the statement that is like the Liar's
    Paradox, he does so with a finite proof, but he does it by assuming a
    Hypothosis which shows that that Hypothosis can't be true, thus
    proving it false.


    If Tarski in any way proved that the Liar Paradox is true then Tarski necessarily made a mistake because the Liar Paradox has zero finite or infinite connections to any truth maker.

    So, you don't understand how Proof by Contradiction works.



    This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"
    is true.

    That is a standard Proof by Contradiction.


    "This sentence is not true"
    It is not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true.
    It is not true about being not true about what?
    It is not true about being not true about being not true...

    Which isn't done in the proofs.


    That is their mistake. The LP is recognized and rejected by Prolog.

    ??? The fact that the system don't do what you say they shouldn't do
    makes them wrong?




    The fact you think it is shows you don't understand them.


    That brand new knowledge does not conform to preexisting misconceptions
    is the way that brand new knowledge is supposed to work.

    So, claiming someone says what they don't actually say, and showing that
    what they didn't say was wrong, is a valid way to refute what they
    actually said?

    I think your logic is broken.

    The fact that you don't understand what someone says, and you think what
    they are saying must be wrong, doesn't make it wrong.

    It more points out that YOU are wrong in your understanding.



    It is True if ANY (including infinte) set of connections exist.

    It is only provable if a FINITE set of connections exist.

    You keep on confusing these two terms, because in your mind you have
    crossed their connections and mix up Truth with Knowledge, perhaps
    because you studied some theries of Knowledge, and are confusing
    what is known to be True with what is actually True.

    You keep on makeing that sort of mistake in your words, by talking
    of what we can KNOW to be true, and applying that to what is
    actually True.

    It is not that I keep confusing these terms it is that you continue to
    fail to understand that it can be proven in a finite number of steps
    that the LP has no semantic connection to any truth maker.

    So?

    No one is arguing that fact.

    You do like to serve your Herring with Red Sauce.

    That Gödel and Tarski did not reject epistemological antinomies as not members of any formal system was their mistake.

    But they didn't do that. They use the fact that statement can prove an epistemological antinomy as a way to prove the sttement False.

    That is just classical Proof by Contradiction, which you seem to not understand.

    Perhaps because it requires the use of some imagination to be able to
    decide to temporarily believe something you don't actually know is true,
    to be true, to see what, Hypothetically, it implies.

    You seem to not have that level of mental capability.



    Here is an example of formalizing the Liar Paradox in C++

    void main()
    {
       bool LP = (LP != true);
    }

    Which isn't actually the Liar's Paradox, because the computation model
    of C++ doesn't provide for a way to express it.

    It *is* exactly the Liar Paradox in that it exactly assigns a vacuous
    Boolean value to itself. Prolog detects this and rejects it.

    Nope. Wrong model of computation.

    Progamming langagues like C++ use a sequential model of execution, not
    an assertional model of execution.

    C++ can't refer to the Truth/Falseness of a "Statement" but of an
    "Expression" (as currently valued).

    It seems you don't even understand basics of computers.



    Even the “C++” compiler recognizes the value is tested before it has >>> been initialized.

    to itself before this value has been initialized. That is *exactly* what

    No, the program

    void main()
    {
    bool x, y = (x != true);
    x = true;
    }

    would give a similar error.

    It isn't that you are assigning to LP, it is that you ar refering to LP
    before you have given it a value.

    WRONG COMPUTATION MODEL.

    and you are proven to be a stupid liar.



    As to your original RED HERRING.

    Please provide an actual REFERENCE by an accepted author that says that
    a statement that refers to its own unprovabilty is universally self-contradictory.

    That statment violate the MEANING of the words, as the statment is
    consistent if the statment is true but unprovable because the truth is
    only establishef by an infinite chain of logic to the truth makers in
    the system.

    You are just proving your mental incapacity.

    YOU ARE JUST PROVING YOUR TOTAL IGNORANCE OF THE TOPIC.

    Right, given the assumption of the existance of a "Definition of Truth",

    te existance of such a definition can not exist.
