    your architecture.


    *This abolishes the notion of undecidability*
    As with all math and logic we have expressions of language
    that are true on the basis of their meaning expressed
    in this same language.

    Unless expression x has a connection (through a sequence
    of true preserving operations) in system F to its semantic
    meanings expressed in language L of F then x is simply
    untrue in F.

    But Godel's G *IS* an expression that has a connection through an
    INFINITE sequence of truth preserving operations in PA. It just can't be
    proven in PA, as proofs require finite sequences in the system.


    Whenever there is no sequence of truth preserving from
    x or ~x to its meaning in L of F then x has no truth-maker
    in F and x not a truth-bearer in F. We never get to x is
    undecidable in F



    Wrong.

    Truth allows an infinte sequence of steps.

    Decidability requires a FINITE sequence of steps.

    That difference is where undeciability comes into existance.

    Requiring Truth to be only established by finite sequences breaks too
    much logic, and greatly limits what can be exressed. In particular, you
    lose mathematics. Things that we could show must be true or false, but
    we can't show which, end up being non-truth-bearers.

    We also end up with a system that can't talk about what it doesn't know
    yet, as not-yet-known might be unknowable, and thus neither true or false.

    And, you can't let "proofs" use infinite sequences, as that breaks
    epistomolgy, as we are finite, and can only know what can be shown with
    a finite proof.

    Which, as I pointed out elswhere, basically means you aren't actually
    talking about formal systems, as they don't have that distinction,
    because there is no sense based truth to be synthetic.



    Formal systems kind of sort of has some vague idea of what True
    means. Tarski "proved" that there is no True(L,x) that can be
    consistently defined.

    Right, there is not PREDICATE that always answers if a given statement
    is True.

    That doesn't mean that truth doesn't have a definition.

    The issue is that sometimes truth is unknowable, and the predicate can't
    handle some of those cases.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_undefinability_theorem#General_form

    Which just means we can't create a predicate that TELLS us if a
    statement is true or not.


    *The defined predicate True(L,x) fixed that*

    So, what is your value for True(L, x) where x is defined to be the
    expression ~True(L, x)

    If for this x, True(L, x) was FALSE, because the predicate determined
    that there was no sequence of truth perserving operations to x, then x,
    being defined as the negation of that value, must be a TRUE, and thus,
    your predicate has ERRED, and gave an answer that it was not actually
    able to establish, as it has said that a TRUE statement could not be es
    shown to be true.

    The problem is that the predicate, to exist, must mean that the system
    is Decidable, but if the grammer of the system allows creation of
    undeciable forms, it is stuck. By its definition, the predicate doesn't
    have the option of saying its argument is undecidable, but must decide
    on it, and thus traps itself if the grammer allows for undecidable
    statements, this means it can only exist in system with very restricted grammers, and thus systems not suitable for a lot of the work that is
    desired.

    Unless expression x has a connection (through a sequence
    of true preserving operations) in system F to its semantic
    meanings expressed in language L of F then x is simply
    untrue in F.

    Whenever there is no sequence of truth preserving from
    x or ~x to its meaning in L of F then x has no truth-maker
    in F and x not a truth-bearer in F. We never get to x is
    undecidable in F.

    But then True(F, x) would, by the definition be FALSE.

    But if x is itself the expression ~True(F, x), then that makes x true
    and the answer wrong.

    So, you system must not allow the expression in its grammer of a
    statement like that.

    Not just by its semantics, but in the syntax, as the domain of the
    predicate is expression in the grammer of the language.

    the exact details of what needed to be changed.

    x or ~x to its meaning in L of F then x has no truth-maker
    in F and x not a truth-bearer in F. We never get to x is
    undecidable in F.

    Tarski proved that True is undefineable in certain formal systems.
    Your definition is not expressible in F, at least not as a definition.


    Like ZFC redefined the foundation of all sets I redefine
    the foundation of all formal systems.

    THEN DO SO, and show your work,


    A problem with your method is that it is ofen not known whether there
    is a sequence of truth-preserving transformations in F and there is
    no method to find out.


    Try to show a concrete example of that where self-contradictory
    expressions are not needed.

    Since you haven't defined your whole system, just vaguely expressed the
    idea for one of its principles, we can't talk about it yet.

    Just like Z/F produces a formal listing of their axioms that form a
    COMPLETE basis for the system, you need to do the same.


    Your definition also requires truth-preserving is defined without
    reference to truth. Is there any such definiton?


    Because it establishes the notion of truth.
    Truth is what my foundational axiom says that it is.

    So, give a REAL Formal definiton.



    Truth is the connection from an expression of language
    to its stipulative meaning. Many of the conventional
    logic operations are truth preserving, some are not.

    And thus you need to list what are, or at least DEFINE what they need to
    be, but since Truth is defined in terms of these operations, you can't
    use Truth in the definition of these operatins.


    After the architecture of my system is understood and
    accepted then we do these further elaborations.

    But before it can be understood, it needs to be made.


    This is all aspects of my categorically exhaustively complete
    system of reasoning. Work on the broadest category first and
    then progressively narrow to smaller categories.


    So, DO SO.

    No, it defined a NEW form of set theory, and new formal systems adopted
    it, it didn't even try to change anything that was based on any other
    form of set theory.

    It is correct that if it would try to force itself into old formal
    system based on Naive Set Theory, that would be an incorreect
    application, but those system were already proven to be broken, so there
    was no need to even try that.

    This seems beyond your understanding that there is a difference between creating a new system, and changing the old system.

    You can still try to define your own logic system, and show what it can
    do and see if anyone wants to try to use it. That just requires you to
    go through the work to formally FULLY define your system and formally
    show what it can do.

    It is of course a lot less work to try to change an existing system, but
    the problem is that it just doesn't work.

    That fact that you can't see the difference just proves that you are unqualified to make such a change, like the unlicensed electrician that
    fixes the fuse that keeps on blowing by putting a penny behind it.

    There is no basis to say that ZF is more or less correct than ZFC.

    A set containing itself has always been incoherent in its

    totally containing itself that it has no outside surface.
    The above words are my own unique creation.

    There is no need for an isomorphism between a set an a can of soup.
    There is nothing inherently incoherent in Quine's atom. Some set
    theories allow it, some don't. Cantor's theory does not say either
    way.


    Quine atoms (named after Willard Van Orman Quine) are sets that only
    contain themselves, that is, sets that satisfy the formula x = {x}.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urelement#Quine_atoms

    Wrongo. This is exactly isomorphic to the incoherent notion of a
    can of soup so totally containing itself that it has no outside
    boundary.

    As I already said, that isomorphism is not needed. It is not useful.

    It proves incoherence at a deeper level. Prior to my
    isomorphism we only have Russell's Paradox to show
    that there is a problem with Naive set theory.

    But you isomorphism doesn't prove anything except your own stupidity.


    That these kind of paradoxes are not understood to
    mean incoherence in the system has allowed the issue
    of undecidability to remain open.

    Nope, that isn't the problem, and also shows your stupidity.
    Undecidability, in perhaps over simplified terms, comes because the
    power of the questions the system can ask grows faster than the power of
    the system to answer them.

    For Computability, there are aleph_1 possible maps to try to compute,
    but only aleph_0 computation machines possible, so there MUST be MANY
    maps that can not be computed.


    The Liar Paradox is isomorphic to a set containing itself:
    Pathological self-reference(Olcott 2004) yet we still
    construe the Liar Paradox as legitimate.

    Nope, try to show what the mophism is that you claim is "iso".


    Anyway, nice to see that you don't disagree with may observation that
    Quines atom is not inherently incoherent.


    Even ZFC sees that it is incoherent. Quine seemed to be
    a bit of a knucklehead. He was too dumb to understand that
    analytic/synthetic distinction even when Carnap spelled
    it out for him: ∀x (Bachelor(x) := ~Married(x))


    No, ZFC says it doesn't support it. NOT that it is incoherent.

    It seems you are so ignorant you just don't understand the meaning of
    the words you use, and can't see that problem, which is the worse form
    of stupidity.

    Fundamentally, you just don't understand what it means for something to
    be true, which is why you are trying to invent your own definition.

    Perhaps your definition does make al Analytic(Olcott) truth computable,
    not by expanding the power to prove stuff, but by restricting the domain
    of discussion so small that the knowledge of that set complete.

    The problem is you can't see the walls of the prison you have built for yourself, and think everything that you can't get to from your prison
    cell must be awful, or you should have been able to get there.

    It seems your "self-justifier" is just broken and set to full throttle,
    and the real world no longer matters, only the pitiful place where PO is
    "God" and says what happens.

    No one has ever bothered to notice that "undecidability" derived
    from pathological self-reference is isomorphic to a set containing
    itself. ZFC simply excludes these sets. The correct way to handle pathological self-reference is to reject it as bad input.

    But it doesn't.

    The only way, it seems, to really exclude Pathoogical Self-Reference is
    to ban Self-Reference, which just limits the power of the logic system.

    Something you don't seem to understand, maybe because you can't handle
    logic system that allow for things like self-reference.

    Because Quines atom isn't expressed in ZFC.

    ZFC is NOT the ONLY set theory.

    You are just proving your ignorance of what you talk about.


    Even ZFC sees that it is incoherent.

    How does ZFC "see" that?


    It is not allowed to exist.

    No, Quine isn't using ZFC, so the rules of ZFC just don't apply.

    You are just proving you don't understand how formal logic works.

    It is like you are trying
    to say that a dead rat is alive because Quine says so.

    Even ZFC sees that it is incoherent.

    How does ZFC "see" that?

    It is not allowed to exist.

    ZFC does not "allow" anything. Certain sets can be proven in ZFC to exist
    and certain kinds of sets can be proven to not exist, and certain kinds
    cannot be proven either way. For example, existence of an uncountable set
    can be proven, non-existence of Quine's atom can be proven, neither
    existence not non-existence of a set that contains all sets that can
    be proven to exist can be proven.

    Quine seemed to be a bit of a knucklehead. He was too dumb to
    understand that analytic/synthetic distinction even when Carnap
    spelled it out for him: ∀x (Bachelor(x) := ~Married(x))

    What makes you think Quine did not understand the distinction,
    or that Carnap's understanding was better?

    I totally grok analytic. Quine was a goofball.

    Can you prove that wen you use the word "analytic" you are talking
    about the same topic as Carnap or Quine?

    Anyway, non of the above shows thar the particular isomorphism
    mentioned in quoted messages be needed or userful, only that
    you think it is.

    As soon as there were cans, long before ZFC people
    could have known the a set containing itself is a misconception.

    Cans are not relevant. Cantor first presented sets as abstraction
    of lists but extended the concept to cover sets that are bigger
    than any list.

    It proves incoherence at a deeper level.

    No, it does not. If you want to get an incoherence proven you need
    to prove it yourself.


    When you try to imagine a can of soup that soup totally contains
    itself that it has no outside boundary you can see that this is
    impossible because it is incoherent.

    It requires simultaneous mutually exclusive properties.
    (a) It must have an outside surface because all physical
    things have an outside surface.

    Perhaps physical things in some sense have an outside surface but
    that surface is not a part of the thing. We get the imression of
    a surface because the resolution of our eyes and other senses is
    too coarse to observe the small details of physical things.


    No it has an actual surface. When we pick up a ball
    we touch its surface. If is had no outer surface we
    could not pick up a ball.

    But the concept of "the surface" isn't part of the object itself.


    (b) It must not have an outside surface otherwise it is
    not totally containing itself.

    It hasn't.


    If it has no outside surface then it does not physically exist
    It is has an outside surface then it does not totally contain itself.
    Thus any thing physical or conceptual that totally contains
    itself is incoherent.

    So, I guess you think the Sun doesn't exist, or where is its outside
    surface?

    Thus, your concept of physical models is just broken.


    When we try to draw the Venn diagram of a set that totally
    contains itself we have this exact same problem.

    Venn diagrams do not define what is and what is not a set.

    One set containing another set is shown by a smaller circle
    inside a larger circle. A set containing itself cannot be
    shown as both smaller than itself and larger than itself.
    It can only be diagrammed as an identical set to itself.

    Which just shows that the Venn Diagram is insufficient for the task.


    Yet again we show that the premise of RP is incoherent
    with no need for any actual paradox.

    Nope, shows YOU are incoherent, because your mind is too small.



    Prior to my isomorphism we only have Russell's Paradox to show
    that there is a problem with Naive set theory.

    Which is sufficicient for that purpose.

    That these kind of paradoxes are not understood to
    mean incoherence in the system has allowed the issue

    What system? They are understood to indicate inconsistency of
    the naive set theory and similar theories.

    of undecidability to remain open.

    What is "open" in the "issue" of undecidability?


    No one has ever bothered to notice that "undecidability" derived
    from pathological self-reference is isomorphic to a set containing
    itself. ZFC simply excludes these sets. The correct way to handle
    pathological self-reference is to reject it as bad input.

    As Quine's atom is a valid set in some contexts that is not a problem.
    Anyway, "undecidability" is about logic, not sets.


    It is valid in the same way that you can go to the store and
    buy a can of sour that so totally contains itself that it has
    no outside surface. Quine was a bit of a goofball that derailed
    correcting all of the errors in the foundation of logic.

    Carnap and the logical positivists were always correct.

    The Liar Paradox is isomorphic to a set containing itself:
    Pathological self-reference(Olcott 2004) yet we still
    construe the Liar Paradox as legitimate.

    Is there someting illegitimate in

    "This sentence is not true"
    has the same structure as
    "this set contains itself".

    OK, but is that structure illegitimate? And does it apply to
    the following?


    Pathological self-reference is the central issue that
    I have spent the last 20 years of my life on.

    "One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are >>>> always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies." (St. Paul: Titus 1:12) ?

    Anyway, nice to see that you don't disagree with may observation that >>>>>> Quines atom is not inherently incoherent.

    The seems to be a very stupid thing to say when ZFC
    rejects it as incoherent.

    There is nothing in ZFC that could be called "reject" or "incoherent".


    ZFC disallows constructing sets that contain themselves.

    SO, that doesn't mean anything about logic based on other set theories.


    It is like you are trying
    to say that a dead rat is alive because Quine says so.

    Even ZFC sees that it is incoherent.

    How does ZFC "see" that?

    It is not allowed to exist.

    ZFC does not "allow" anything. Certain sets can be proven in ZFC to exist
    and certain kinds of sets can be proven to not exist, and certain kinds
    cannot be proven either way. For example, existence of an uncountable set
    can be proven, non-existence of Quine's atom can be proven, neither
    existence not non-existence of a set that contains all sets that can
    be proven to exist can be proven.


    ZFC constructs sets in a certain way that does not allow
    sets to be members of themselves.

    So, that means nothing about sets defined in OTHER set theories.


    Quine seemed to be a bit of a knucklehead. He was too dumb to
    understand that analytic/synthetic distinction even when Carnap
    spelled it out for him: ∀x (Bachelor(x) := ~Married(x))

    What makes you think Quine did not understand the distinction,
    or that Carnap's understanding was better?

    I totally grok analytic. Quine was a goofball.

    Can you prove that wen you use the word "analytic" you are talking
    about the same topic as Carnap or Quine?


    *I merely add missing details to the same idea of analytic*
    True entirely on the basis of its meaning now has more details.

    An analytic expression of language is any expression of
    formal or natural language that can be proven true or
    false entirely on the basis of a connection to its semantic
    meaning in this same language.

    This connection must be through a sequence of truth preserving
    operations from expression x of language L to meaning M in L.
    A lack of such connection from x or ~x in L is construed as x
    is not a truth bearer in L.

    Anyway, non of the above shows thar the particular isomorphism
    mentioned in quoted messages be needed or userful, only that
    you think it is.

    As soon as there were cans, long before ZFC people

    Cans are not relevant. Cantor first presented sets as abstraction

    Nothing that no outside surface exists.
    Since I can touch a cup with my fingers

    have an outside surface.

    But you can't "touch" logical entities that are not actually physical
    objects.


    A set containing itself is isomorphic to a can
    of soup containing itself. In both cases they
    cannot have an outside surface.

    Nope,
    bad analogies does not a proof make.


    The physically existing thing must have out
    outside surface proves that the can does not
    physically exist.

    So, the Sun doesn't exist, as being a gas/plasma doesn't have a
    "surface" as a boundry?


    The the Venn diagram of a set that includes itself
    as a member can at best shown a diagram of a pair
    of identical sets with overlapping boundaries proves
    that a set containing itself cannot exist. It has
    always been a misconception.

    For one set to be actually contained within another
    one this contained set must with inside of the boundaries
    of its container set.


    As well it is.

    Tarski proved that True is undefineable in certain formal systems.
    Your definition is not expressible in F, at least not as a definition.

    You cannot redefine the foundation of all formal systems. Every formal
    system has the foundation it has and that cannot be changed. Formal
    systems are eternal and immutable.


    Then According to your reasoning ZFC is wrong because >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it is not allowed to redefine the foundation of set >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> theory.

    It did not redefine anything. It is just another theory. It is called
    a set theory because its terms have many similarities to Cnator's sets.

    It <is> the correct set theory. Naive set theory
    is tossed out on its ass for being WRONG.

    There is no basis to say that ZF is more or less correct than ZFC. >>>>>>>>>>>

    When you try to imagine a can of soup that soup totally contains
    itself that it has no outside boundary you can see that this is
    impossible because it is incoherent.

    It requires simultaneous mutually exclusive properties.
    (a) It must have an outside surface because all physical
    things have an outside surface.

    Perhaps physical things in some sense have an outside surface but
    that surface is not a part of the thing. We get the imression of
    a surface because the resolution of our eyes and other senses is
    too coarse to observe the small details of physical things.


    No it has an actual surface. When we pick up a ball
    we touch its surface. If is had no outer surface we
    could not pick up a ball.

    (b) It must not have an outside surface otherwise it is
    not totally containing itself.

    It hasn't.


    If it has no outside surface then it does not physically exist

    In that case nothing physically exists. Every outside surface is
    merely an illusion.


    Nothing that no outside surface exists.
    Since I can touch a cup with my fingers
    this proves that the cup and my fingers
    have an outside surface.

    That is an unphysical illusion. There is nothing in the cup
    and fingers other than atoms. Atoms don't have a surface.
    You get a false impression because your senses don't sense
    small details.
