it is not possible to replace "not provable"
it is not possible to replace "not provable" with "false" in a gödel sentence because the predicate "q is the gödel number of a false formula" cannot be represented as a formula of arithmetic. this result, known as tarski's undefinability theorem, was discovered independently by gödel (when he was working on the proof ...

this is an equation from which the truth value of a = "this statement is false" could hopefully be obtained. in the boolean domain "a = false" is equivalent to "not a" and therefore the equation is not solvable. this is the motivation for reinterpretation of a. the simplest logical approach to make the equation solvabl...

for a better understanding of the liar paradox, it is useful to write it down in a more formal way. if "this statement is false" is denoted by a and its truth value is being sought, it is necessary to find a condition that restricts the choice of possible truth values of a. because a is self-referential it is possible ...
