*Tarski anchors his whole proof in the Liar Paradox* https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf
"x asserts that x is not a true sentence." page 248

"x asserts that x is not a true sentence." page 248
is encoded as: x ∉ True if and only if p
"where the symbol 'p' represents the whole sentence x"
before it has been transformed page 275
we replace 'Tr' in this convention by 'Pr'
thus becomes // on page 275
"(1) x ∉ Provable if and only if p"
"where the symbol 'p' represents the whole sentence x"
*Proving that the Tarski Undefinability has an adapted*
*form of the Liar Paradox as the first line of his proof*
That is not the first line of the proof. A large part of
the proof is proven before that line.
The main parts of the proof are:
(a) if there is a truth formul then a paradox can be proven
(b) a paradox is not true
from (a) and (b) by modus tollens
there is no truth formula
So the provable paradox is at the end of the part a,
not in its beginning.
As you have pointed no error in the proof of (a) we may
assume that you agree with it. You seem to agree with
(b), too. Modus tollens is regarded valid because we
have never observed any situation where some P is true
and some Q is false and P->Q is true.
