They call functions of the Boolean type predicates in all orders of predicate logic. Functions of any other type are called functions. Predicate: >(5,...

Instead of a three values system with {True, False and Nonsense} I have bivalent systems of logic that derive a type mismatch error for any expression...

It is a Boolean valued system. When epistemological antinomies are involved they must be rejected as a type mismatch error because that have no Boolea...

I have found that line of reasoning ineffective so I switched. We have to resolve my prior reply before you can begin to understand my updated reasoni...

I don't think that you can find any source that ever says anything like that for bivalent systems of logic. I don't think you can find any sources tha...

I always verify that the essential reasoning is correct. The key elements of my system come straight from me figuring them out and no one ever wrote t...

None-the-less in every bivalent system of logic we must be able to reduce every variable to a Boolean value. Your reply did not seem to understand tha...

Good job that is a perfect analogy!

You are not paying attention. (a) If it is true that makes it untrue so it can't be true. (b) If it is false that makes it true so it can't be false. ...

"This sentence is not true" is called the strengthened Liar Paradox and is its best form. If it is true that makes it untrue if it it false that makes...

In other words the fact that he cannot prove that a lie is true he construes as proof that truth cannot be proven. When we understand that self-contra...

I agree. Not when the entire notion of undecidability depends on these things. In that case we use your first quote as the basis of True(x). From this...

OK now we are getting somewhere. "This sentence is not true" cannot be true because that would make it untrue and cannot be false because that would m...

Try and show how it makes sense to base undecidability on self-contradictory expressions or acknowledge that you do not understand that Tarski Undefin...

The important point is that it self-contradictory expressions are still considered valid proof of undecidability and this proves that the entire notio...

The problem with this definition is that it proves that mathematical systems are "incomplete" when they cannot prove or refute nonsense. Self-contradi...
April 16, 2024 at 20:56
That there is no proof of nonsense does not make any formal system incomplete unless Incomplete(F) is a euphemism for Incorrect(G).

Corvus was testing the boundaries of what is included and what is not included by using a rhetorical question as a pseudo statement.

Please provide one example. Contradiction is a very well-known and certain measure of falsity in classical logic, symbolic logic, predicate logic.
