Now that the poster cannot support his dogmatically ignorant and confused claim — TonesInDeepFreeze
I have no false assumptions in this context. But one of the many false assumptions of the poster is that "This sentence is not provable" is the liar sentence. — TonesInDeepFreeze
I did err in my previous post by overlooking the negation sign. And I should have emphasized again, for the 100th time, that 'unprovable' and 'untrue' are profoundly different. — TonesInDeepFreeze
'x e T if and only if p' is not the liar sentence. — TonesInDeepFreeze
If the liar sentence appears as a line in the undecidability proof then one could point exactly to the line. — TonesInDeepFreeze

It would then be possible to reconstruct the antinomy of the liar
in the metalanguage, by forming in the language itself a sentence
x such that the sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated
with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.

Formalized as:
x ∉ True if and only if p
where the symbol 'p' represents the whole sentence x

adapted to become this
x ∉ Pr if and only if p // line 1 of the proof — PL Olcott
Anyone can look at pages 275-276 to see that no step in that proof uses the liar sentence. — TonesInDeepFreeze
And again, for about the tenth time: Tarski does not use the liar sentence as a premise in his proofs. Rather, for undefinability, he makes a reductio ad absurdum assumption that there is a truth predicate, from which he shows that that assumption provides a liar sentence that is a contradiction, — TonesInDeepFreeze
First, as has been pointed out to the poster at least a dozen times, this is not a proof of undefinability. It is a proof of undecidability. — TonesInDeepFreeze
The undefinability theorem is conventionally attributed to Alfred Tarski. Gödel also discovered the undefinability theorem in 1930, while proving his incompleteness theorems published in 1931, and well before the 1933 publication of Tarski's work (Murawski 1998). While Gödel never published anything bearing on his independent discovery of undefinability, he did describe it in a 1931 letter to John von Neumann. Tarski had obtained almost all results of his 1933 monograph "The Concept of Truth in the Languages of the Deductive Sciences" between 1929 and 1931, and spoke about them to Polish audiences. However, as he emphasized in the paper, the undefinability theorem was the only result he did not obtain earlier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_undefinability_theorem — Wikipedia

Regarding Tarski, the poster just quotes again and again and again out of context and ignores the context explained to him dozens of times. He will continue to do that. At a certain point, replies are futile. — TonesInDeepFreeze
The easily verifiable fact is that on page 275 of the undecidability proof the poster mentioned, Tarski does not use the liar sentence in any step in that proof. Indeed, Tarski specifically mentions that he doesn't use the liar sentence but rather uses 'provable' rather than 'true'. — TonesInDeepFreeze

I guess the poster won't concede that footnote 14 is to the passages that begin by saying that the antinomies are analogous to the Godel argument. — TonesInDeepFreeze
For the 100th time, Tarski himself said that instead of "false" he used "unprovable. It's in the exact text of the paper. — TonesInDeepFreeze
(4) Tarski even proved that the liar sentence cannot be formulated in such systems. — TonesInDeepFreeze
An antinomy is not just any self-contradiction. — TonesInDeepFreeze

It's right there in the paper. Footnote 14 pertains to the passages that begin, "The analogy of this argument [...]" — TonesInDeepFreeze

Whatever the case about compositional meaning, 'epistemology antinomy' does not mean merely 'self-contradictory'. — TonesInDeepFreeze
The meaning of 'antinomy' or 'epistemological antinomy' is not just 'self-contradictory'. — TonesInDeepFreeze

A self-contradictory phrase such as "There is no absolute truth" can be considered an antinomy

Moreover, Godel could not use it as a line in any step of the proof, because the liar sentence cannot even be formulated in such systems that are the subject of the proof, which is what Tarski proved. — TonesInDeepFreeze

Saying again that Godel used the liar sentence in the incompleteness/undecidability proofs is to yet again ignore the plain hard fact that he did not. — TonesInDeepFreeze

Go look up Prior's approach to the liar and see what you think. — fdrake
Therefore Since This statement is False is , in other words, This Statement is true and this statement is false, this no more than p=(-p), which is a contradiction, which is from ealier just not the case.

It has been pointed out at least half a dozen times in other threads: Godel is referring to using the general idea of such paradoxes to spring the idea for his proof, but the actual proof does not use the liar paradox, — TonesInDeepFreeze
"x is true if and only p" is not, according to Tarski or anyone who has reasonably studied this subject, the liar paradox nor the liar sentence. Moreover, as has been explained several times to the poster, Tarski does no use the liar sentence as a premise in any proof. Rather, Tarski assumes, toward a contradiction, that in the interpreted language there is a truth predicate for that language, and then shows that that assumption would allow the formation of the liar sentence and its contradiction, therefore that the assumption is contradictory and there is no such truth predicate. — TonesInDeepFreeze
Self contradictory expressions - assuming that is an expression which entails a contradiction or are otherwise equivalent to A&~A - are truth bearers. They have the capacity to be true or false - as in, it would mean something for the statement to be true, and mean something for the statement to be false. They just happen to be false. — fdrake

For example, let your database, described above, be represented by, "The cat sleeps on the couch." You now test "finite" strings against your database, and those that pass are "true," those that don't, "false." And you can do that. But what has that to do with true and false, or knowledge of any kind, or anything undecidable? How does that show that Godel was mistaken or incoherent? Or that Tarski was confused? — tim wood
It makes it undecidable - it appears you do not know what the words you use mean - and certainly not "inherently incorrect." — tim wood
From reading your citation, it appears you're looking for a truth-maker for φ and not finding one. And from the reading, it is not clear that it needs one; i.e., φ is a truth-bearer. The problem, of course, is that if φ is true, then it is not true, and if it is not true, then it is true. — tim wood
From your Stanford reference we have, "Let φ be the sentence, "φ is not true." That is, we have φ, simple enough and we need nothing else.

Now, in plain English, using φ, describe how your "system" works. — tim wood
Ok, let's think about some of these expressions. And no, I haven't seen the actual Milne's paper, so I cannot say more when I have just the one link. (Is it free and obtainable by the net?) — ssu
The above shows just what the problem is when you "Cantor's diagonalization" or basically negative self reference.
So what your problem in using diagonalization? — ssu

What you claim is that it knows what is true and what is not. I'm very skeptical, because of many arguments against this, and also not least because you have been singularly non-responsive through at least two threads and many posts. — tim wood
what Gödel shows is that there's a true, but unprovable sentences. — ssu
Yet Milne has the gist of this: the problem here is that there indeed are true, but unprovable truths. — ssu
Let's stipulate that your "verbal model..," which is practically impossible and I suspect theoretically impossible, exists. I assume you mean that finite stings will be input, and that in every case the output will be, correctly, a T or an F. How will it work? — tim wood
Gödel isn't just coming up with the Liar paradox and "hiding" the missing inference steps behind Gödel numbers and diagonalization. Many people do think that Gödel has fallen into the trap of self reference and is talking about basically the paradox, but he isn't. — ssu
Does it escape your notice that the theory, to be efficacious in the desired manner, has been enriched and has to be enriched? Or that the enriched thing - or any enriched thing - is not the same as the thing not enriched? — tim wood
Then what did Godel do and how did he do it? Or rather, inasmuch as he rigorously derives his undecidable proposition, on what basis do you claim it impossible? And now I insist on your using English unless you are using symbols to prove/demonstrate a point. — tim wood
