    Your problem is you just don't understand "Formal Logic Systems",
    because they have RULES which you just can't understand


    ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).

    But there is no "provable" predicate, so your statement is just
    nonsense.

    G = not(provable(F, G)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).
    false.

    In part because it doesn't know what provable is, and just can't
    handle the logic.


    This is merely your own utterly profound ignorance
    of this specific topic.

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

    Which shows that you think logic is limited to the simple logic of
    Prolog.


    Do you even know what a cycle in the directed graph
    of an evaluation sequence is?

    Sure. Do you?

    Can you show a finite directed graph with no root node that doesn't have
    a cycle?

    Do you understand that your precious Prolog ADMITS that it is limited in
    the form of logic it performs.

    It can't even reach a full first-order logic.

    You keep on diverting to simple things that just don't prove what you
    claim, when something too tough is brought up.

    That is just admitting that you see yourself as wrong, but can't admit
    it openly.

    Your "Prolog" statement about G just isn't actually Prolog, as Prolog
    has no "provable" predicate.


    You seemed to have just diverted from the fact you LIED about Prolog
    having a "provable" operator, which just shows your stupidity.


    This is the final and complete total resolution
    of the Liar Paradox conclusively proving that it
    was never grounded in any notion of truth.

    But that hasn't actually been a problem. It has been known to be a
    non- truth-bearer for a long time, at least in Formal Logic.

    They know-nothing philosophers might have been arguing about it, but
    thas is because there field can't actually resolve anything.



    G||del, Kurt 1931.
    On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia
    Mathematica And Related Systems

    The last part is what unify_with_occurs_check() actually means.
    So far everyone here has been flat out stupid about that.

    Nope, as Prolog can't handle the logic of the system Godel talks
    about.,

    Your problem is YOU can't handle that logic system either, because
    you are just to stupid.

    Try to give Prolog the ACTUAL definition of G, I'm not sure it even
    has the ability to represent that G asserts there isn't a natural
    number g that meets some predicate, like x * x = -1

    If you can't express that part, how do you expect it to understand
    the full definition.

    Your problem is you are just to stupid to understand your logic's
    restrictions.


    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    is reliably computable by the above formalism.

    But it can only apply to limited systems, namely the systems
    smaller than the proof of incompleteness specified.


    I have thought this through for 30,000 hours over
    28 years.



    And you should have figured out its problems a lot earlier.

    ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).

    But there is no "provable" predicate, so your statement is just
    nonsense.

    G = not(provable(F, G)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).
    false.

    In part because it doesn't know what provable is, and just can't
    handle the logic.


    This is merely your own utterly profound ignorance
    of this specific topic.

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

    Which shows that you think logic is limited to the simple logic of
    Prolog.


    Do you even know what a cycle in the directed graph
    of an evaluation sequence is?

    Sure. Do you?

    Can you show a finite directed graph with no root node that doesn't
    have a cycle?


    That you do not even understand what a directed acyclic
    graph is seems to be why you can't fully understand the
    effect of a cycle in the directed graph of an evaluation
    sequence. The term "evaluation sequence" may also be
    difficult for you.

    So, you are just showing you can't do it.

    The problem is there isn't a unique evaluation sequence as there is no
    start to begin with.

    All you are doing is showing that you initial claim was made with no
    formal basis, but just you spouting words without you knowing what you
    are saying.


    Do you understand that your precious Prolog ADMITS that it is limited
    in the form of logic it performs.

    It can't even reach a full first-order logic.

    You keep on diverting to simple things that just don't prove what you
    claim, when something too tough is brought up.

    That is just admitting that you see yourself as wrong, but can't admit
    it openly.

    Your "Prolog" statement about G just isn't actually Prolog, as Prolog
    has no "provable" predicate.


    You seemed to have just diverted from the fact you LIED about Prolog
    having a "provable" operator, which just shows your stupidity.


    This is the final and complete total resolution
    of the Liar Paradox conclusively proving that it
    was never grounded in any notion of truth.

    But that hasn't actually been a problem. It has been known to be a
    non- truth-bearer for a long time, at least in Formal Logic.

    They know-nothing philosophers might have been arguing about it, but
    thas is because there field can't actually resolve anything.



    G||del, Kurt 1931.
    On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia
    Mathematica And Related Systems

    The last part is what unify_with_occurs_check() actually means.
    So far everyone here has been flat out stupid about that.

    Nope, as Prolog can't handle the logic of the system Godel talks
    about.,

    Your problem is YOU can't handle that logic system either, because >>>>>> you are just to stupid.

    Try to give Prolog the ACTUAL definition of G, I'm not sure it
    even has the ability to represent that G asserts there isn't a
    natural number g that meets some predicate, like x * x = -1

    If you can't express that part, how do you expect it to understand >>>>>> the full definition.

    Your problem is you are just to stupid to understand your logic's >>>>>> restrictions.


    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    is reliably computable by the above formalism.

    But it can only apply to limited systems, namely the systems
    smaller than the proof of incompleteness specified.


    I have thought this through for 30,000 hours over
    28 years.



    And you should have figured out its problems a lot earlier.

    He uses = as a shorthand for an asymmetric relation that he credits to
    PM. I have a copy of PM 1st edition here; it does /not/ define equality
    that way.

    His system also has a number ("individual") available in universal quantification over individuals that is indefinite *and* that indefinite
    number supposedly maps to a unique formula along with the other
    individuals (despite all formulas being finite! O.o). I'm deeply
    suspicious but the paper is so unreasonably difficult that I'm minded
    not to bother going on studying it.

    So, you are just showing you can't do it.


    I am not going to let you dodge a mandatory prerequisite.
    Your question indicates that you do not know what a
    directed acyclic graph is. A DAG can have a root.


    Right, but the thing you say is a DAG doesn't, so can't be a DAG.

    Your problem is you don't understand what the words you are using
    actually mean, or the fundamentals of the theory you are trying to talk
    about.

    Your world is based on the fantasy that you can assume things to be true without them being correct, because you just don't understand the
    difference between truth and knowledge, so you just assume you can know
    stuff.

    The problem is there isn't a unique evaluation sequence as there is no
    start to begin with.

    All you are doing is showing that you initial claim was made with no
    formal basis, but just you spouting words without you knowing what you

    Do you understand that your precious Prolog ADMITS that it is

    It can't even reach a full first-order logic.

    You keep on diverting to simple things that just don't prove what
    you claim, when something too tough is brought up.

    That is just admitting that you see yourself as wrong, but can't
    admit it openly.

    Your "Prolog" statement about G just isn't actually Prolog, as

    On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia

    He uses = as a shorthand for an asymmetric relation that he credits to
    PM. I have a copy of PM 1st edition here; it does /not/ define equality
    that way.

    His system also has a number ("individual") available in universal quantification over individuals that is indefinite *and* that indefinite number supposedly maps to a unique formula along with the other
    individuals (despite all formulas being finite! O.o). I'm deeply
    suspicious but the paper is so unreasonably difficult that I'm minded
    not to bother going on studying it.



    Yet the essence of what he is saying is boiled down
    to something much simpler as he says in his own words:

    ...there is also a close relationship with the rCLliarrCY antinomy,14 ...
    ...14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar undecidability proof...
    ...We are therefore confronted with a proposition which asserts its own unprovability. 15 rCa (G||del 1931:40-41)

    G||del, Kurt 1931.
    On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica And
    Related Systems

    The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy.

    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.
    Oh I see you are stuck in a loop!

    The simple English shows that the Liar Paradox never
    gets to the point. It is ungrounded in a truth value.

    This is formalized in the Prolog programming language
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    False.

    But you weren't talking about a "type hierarchy", but a logic system
    with all general knowledge.

    I guess you are just admitting you can't keep your lies straight.

    After all, a "type hierarchy" can't actually deal with the properties of numbers, just try to put numbers into a category that it can't talk about.


    Your failure shows you don't know what you are talking about and thus
    are admitting you are just a liar.

    You-a are not allowed to just assume such a thing,


    You can't just assume that something exists or can be done.

    Do you understand that your precious Prolog ADMITS that it is
    limited in the form of logic it performs.

    It can't even reach a full first-order logic.

    You keep on diverting to simple things that just don't prove what >>>>>> you claim, when something too tough is brought up.

    That is just admitting that you see yourself as wrong, but can't
    admit it openly.

    Your "Prolog" statement about G just isn't actually Prolog, as
    Prolog has no "provable" predicate.

    Sure. Do you?

    Can you show a finite directed graph with no root node that

    That you do not even understand what a directed acyclic
    graph is seems to be why you can't fully understand the
    effect of a cycle in the directed graph of an evaluation
    sequence. The term "evaluation sequence" may also be
    difficult for you.

    So, you are just showing you can't do it.


    I am not going to let you dodge a mandatory prerequisite.
    Your question indicates that you do not know what a
    directed acyclic graph is. A DAG can have a root.


    Right, but the thing you say is a DAG doesn't, so can't be a DAG.


    Cite a source proving that no DAG can have a root.
    [can a DAG that is not a tree have a root]

    ????

    I guess you are just showing you can't read.

    I didn't say a DAG couldn't have a root, but that it MUST.

    The problem is your system doesn't have a root, as no item in the system
    is self-defined without reference to other things.


    Your problem is you don't understand what the words you are using
    actually mean, or the fundamentals of the theory you are trying to
    talk about.

    Your world is based on the fantasy that you can assume things to be
    true without them being correct, because you just don't understand the
    difference between truth and knowledge, so you just assume you can
    know stuff.

    The problem is there isn't a unique evaluation sequence as there is
    no start to begin with.

    All you are doing is showing that you initial claim was made with no
    formal basis, but just you spouting words without you knowing what
    you are saying.


    Do you understand that your precious Prolog ADMITS that it is

    The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy.

    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?

    Oh I see you are stuck in a loop!

    The simple English shows that the Liar Paradox never
    gets to the point. It is ungrounded in a truth value.

    This is formalized in the Prolog programming language
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    False.

    Expands to: not(true(not(true(not(true(not(true(...))))))))


    Which proves nothing about Godel and his G, as he doesn't "derive"
    from the liars paradox, but uses its general form but with a
    transformation that breaks the actual contraditction in the
    epistemological antinomy, because there IS a resolution, the statement
    is True but Unprovable.


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

    The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy.
    Your inability to pay 100% complete attention to the
    exact meaning of words never has been my mistake.



    Right, But the FORM of the Liars Paradox, that "X is defined to be X is
    not True", can be transformed by a syntactic transformation that changes
    its meaning to "X is defined to be X is not Provable".

    Since Provable is NOT the same predicate as True, this changes its
    meaning, and makes it only an APPARENT contradiction, as there is a
    valid realization of the statement with X actually being True, but also
    not being Provable.

    By the definitions of the two terms, this means that X logically follows
    from the fundamental truth makers of the system, but onlyl with an
    infinite number of inferences.

    THe fact that YOU can't understand this, or even comment about where you
    think this is wrong, just shows your inability to THINK about the topic.

    Your problem is YOU don't know the meaning for the words, but are
    beleiving your own lies about them, and by your refusal to learn the
    actual meanings have made yourself a pathological liar.

    The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy.

    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.
    Oh I see you are stuck in a loop!

    The simple English shows that the Liar Paradox never
    gets to the point. It is ungrounded in a truth value.

    This is formalized in the Prolog programming language
    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).
    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    False.

    Expands to: not(true(not(true(not(true(not(true(...))))))))


    Which proves nothing about Godel and his G, as he doesn't "derive"
    from the liars paradox, but uses its general form but with a
    transformation that breaks the actual contraditction in the
    epistemological antinomy, because there IS a resolution, the
    statement is True but Unprovable.


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

    The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy.
    Your inability to pay 100% complete attention to the
    exact meaning of words never has been my mistake.



    Right, But the FORM of the Liars Paradox, that "X is defined to be X is
    not True", can be transformed by a syntactic transformation that changes
    its meaning to "X is defined to be X is not Provable".

    Since Provable is NOT the same predicate as True, this changes its
    meaning, and makes it only an APPARENT contradiction, as there is a
    valid realization of the statement with X actually being True, but also
    not being Provable.


    This has always only been complete ignorance
    of the deep meaning of: unify_with_occurs_check()

    Ungrounded is a term that computer scientists,
    mathematicians and logicians never heard of thus
    they conclude it is complete nonsense on the
    basis of their own ignorance.

    By the definitions of the two terms, this means that X logically follows from the fundamental truth makers of the system, but onlyl with an
    infinite number of inferences.

    THe fact that YOU can't understand this, or even comment about where you think this is wrong, just shows your inability to THINK about the topic.

    Your problem is YOU don't know the meaning for the words, but are
    beleiving your own lies about them, and by your refusal to learn the
    actual meanings have made yourself a pathological liar.

    In other words, you wasted your life trying to do something you don't understand.

    Since in your system, words do not need to have their actual meaning,
    NOTHING can be truthfully derived from the words.

    Your problem is you fundamentally don't understand the basics of what
    you are talking about, because you CHOSE to remain ignorant of the
    field, and chose instead to try to derive meaning by GUESSING without knowledge, and calling it "first principles", not even knowing what that means.

    On 29/12/2025 19:18, Richard Damon wrote about my description of meaning:

    Your definition is inherently subjective, and thus no compatible with formalism.

    It's compatible with formalisms of artificial intelligence which
    formalises aspects of intelligent agents including representation
    inference and conveyance of meaning.

    Formal Systems do not have meaning beyond the link between symbolisms
    and their roles in the general concept of a formal system and that which
    their users might infer intelligently. Meaning is associated naturally
    and I attempt to exclude that error by posting about philosophy of meaning.

    I just flicked through Volume 4A "Combinatorial Algorithms Part 1) of

    defined but the trees that some DAGs and networks on them correspond to
    do. He doesn't give a definition with properties that we can use to
    label a node of a DAG as "root" formally.

    I think its fair to allow anyone to call a node the root when being a
    typical conversationalist when the DAG or a network on it maps to
    exactly one tree but to allow anyone to say no a DAG has a root. The
    root of a tree comes with the perspective that it is a tree - which
    doesn't merely have a unique node with no inarcs but it has a node
    nominated as a root to make it a tree instead of a mere DAG or a network
    on a DAG.

    Tree's are usually networks (graphs with data associated). I don't know

    Yes, a DAG can have a root, but his doesn't, as no term in generel

    In other words, you wasted your life trying to do something you don't understand.

    Since in your system, words do not need to have their actual meaning, NOTHING can be truthfully derived from the words.

    Your problem is you fundamentally don't understand the basics of what
    you are talking about, because you CHOSE to remain ignorant of the
    field, and chose instead to try to derive meaning by GUESSING without knowledge, and calling it "first principles", not even knowing what
    that means.

    Engaging with Pete's arguments in a meaningful way is just as stupid as
    his delusion.

    It does have a root: "There is knowledge".

    He wants a non-axiomatic system, based on meaning in the system.

    The problem is that just doesn't work.

    Th Root is defined in terms of its constituents.

    In other word, by a cycle.

    Note, you are also changing your goalposts, as your original claim was
    about a DAG of KNOWLEDGE, not TYPES.

    It seems you don't understand what you are trying to talk about.


    {Thing} is divided into

    -a-a {Mentally existing thing}
    -a-a-a-a {Coherent ideas}
    -a-a-a-a {Incoherent ideas}


    I just proved that I do understand.


    No, because that isn't the sort of thing you initially claimed.

    Maybe it is what you THOUGHT you were claiming, but it isn't, but the

    Sure we have.

    Why should that be, since it isn't true,

    Your problem is that you are insisting your yourself of a fact that you
    think must be, when it isn't

    You are just makeing the several millenail old mistake of thinking you
    get to define the results of the logic.

    Just like when it was thought at it was illogical to talk of
    non-rational numbers.
