    You have just cleanly demonstrated the exact mathematical point

    This Prolog trace is a beautiful, flawless proof of why standard

    It does not matter what an AI agrees. At least some people can see

    Anyone that understands it understands that it is

    It does nothing like that.

    The only way for you to know that is to show the

    He came up with the essentially same answer that I did.

    Your Prolog code only says that in your
    Prolog implementation LP = not(true(LP)) is true for some value
    of LP, which value is shown as a response to your query; and that
    unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))) is false, as required
    by the Prolog standard.

    There is no quantifiers in Prolog. If a query succeeds then that
    can be interpreted that the variables still open can be interpreted
    to be universally quantified and the bound variables can be interpreted
    to be existentially quantified, though the response actually gives more
    information about the latter.

    But neither query has no relevance to the liar's paradox. The liar's
    paradox does not merely refer to itself but to its own truth value.
    That is not expressible in Prolog semantics. You can apply some
    other semantics to Prolog expressions but a Prolog inference engine
    does not.

    It seems that you simply do not understand Prolog well enough.
    The ultimate complete truth about Prolog is found in the standard.
    If you say something else it is a misconception. There is no need
    to understand a misconception beyond its being a misconception.

    Can you justify that the Liar's paradox cannot be reasoned about outside conceptions of reasoning that assign truth values.

    Even when formalised, the predicate "is false" does not morally have to
    be formalised to state a property of its subject's evaluation but is it impossible to do otherwise?

    Anyone that understands it understands that it is
    the final solution to the Liar Paradox.

    It does nothing like that.

    The only way for you to know that is to show the

    Outline of a Theory of Truth
    https://files.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1358/
    files/2019/04/Outline-of-a-Theory-of-Truth.pdf

    He came up with the essentially same answer that I did.

    Your Prolog code only says that in your
    Prolog implementation LP = not(true(LP)) is true for some value
    of LP, which value is shown as a response to your query; and that
    unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))) is false, as required
    by the Prolog standard.

    There is no quantifiers in Prolog. If a query succeeds then that
    can be interpreted that the variables still open can be interpreted
    to be universally quantified and the bound variables can be
    interpreted
    to be existentially quantified, though the response actually gives
    more
    information about the latter.

    But neither query has no relevance to the liar's paradox. The liar's >>>>> paradox does not merely refer to itself but to its own truth value.
    That is not expressible in Prolog semantics. You can apply some
    other semantics to Prolog expressions but a Prolog inference engine
    does not.

    It seems that you simply do not understand Prolog well enough.
    The ultimate complete truth about Prolog is found in the standard.
    If you say something else it is a misconception. There is no need
    to understand a misconception beyond its being a misconception.

    My Prolog dead obviously is the final resolution
    to the Liar Paradox by anyone that understands it.

    That certainly is far from obvious.

    by anyone that totally understands Both.

    When interpreted accerding to the
    Prolog semantics there is no reference to the Liar Paradox and therefore
    no resolution to it.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of general knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    No, in oreder to comment about Prolog it is sufficient to to know
    the syntax and semantics of Prolog.

    One must know Prolog and the Liar Paradox

    Hard to really test as everybody seems to know the Liar Paradox but
    it seems obvious that knowing Prolog is sufficient to comment about
    Prolog.

    Unless one is somewhat of en expert in both one's
    evaluation of the above cannot possibly be more
    than stupidly incorrect.

    Your evaluation is so obviously incorrect that saying "stupidly
    incorrect" is not too wrong. But we never thought that you be
    an expert of Prolog ot the Liar Paradox.

    Anyway, as long as only Prolog aspects are evaluated the Liar
    Paradox is irrelevant and therefore understanding of the Loar
    Paradox not necessary. But almost everybody understands anyway
    everyting one needs to understand about ti.

    Can you justify that the Liar's paradox cannot be reasoned about outside conceptions of reasoning that assign truth values.

    Of course there are many ways to reason about the paradox.

    Even when formalised, the predicate "is false" does not morally have to
    be formalised to state a property of its subject's evaluation but is it impossible to do otherwise?

    There is much freedom in what is formalized and how. One must just
    be careful that the emaning of the Liar's sentence is not distorted,
    as a distortion would mean that the analysis no longer is about the
    Liar Paradox.

    As the Liar Paradox is a very limited topic one might also want to
    extend the scope and find a method to analyse several paradoxes in
    the same way.

    You have just cleanly demonstrated the exact mathematical point where
    traditional logic breaks down, and why your system requires a strict
    Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) enforced by the occurs-check.

    This Prolog trace is a beautiful, flawless proof of why standard

    Your subject line makes a claim you haven't checked. Many, if not all,
    the LLMs you used are so-called "immortal" LLMs: they can be duplicated.

    Indeed, I expect they are constructed from duplications. When I use an
    LLM it will be one that was materially different from in your
    experimental sample in that it was not constructed differently by some
    random process but by not being selected by you. They are not an example
    of "Every LLM".

    It is something about you that distinguishes them and the answer tells
    us about you to a great extent instead of telling us about them, or
    about the experimental stimulus that you've reported to us.

    Bottom line is that anyone that fully understands
    the above fully understands that I am entirely correct
    about how my Prolog is the final resolution to the Liar
    Paradox.

    Clueless wonders have no knowledge of either Prolog or
    the Liar Paradox may stupidly believe otherwise entirely
    on the basis of their own ignorance.

    There is at least one thing Olcott can do: give the impression of
    being ignorant. Whether he really is or merely falsely pretends so
    is harder to determine.
