false.

In other words Prolog has detected a cycle in the directed graph of the
evaluation sequence of the structure of the Liar Paradox. Experts seem
to think that Prolog is taking "not" and "true" as meaningless and is
only evaluating the structure of the expression.

The words "not" and "true" of Prolog are meaningful in some contexts

That Prolog construes any expression having the same structure as the
Liar Paradox as having a cycle in the directed graph of its evaluation
sequence already completely proves my point. In other words Prolog
is saying that there is something wrong with the expression and it must
be rejected.

Yes exactly. If I knew that Prolog did this then I would not have

create MTT that does do this same thing makes my understanding much
deeper.
Prolog does not reject LP = not(true(LP)). It can accept it as
syntactically valid. Thaat unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))
fails does not mean anything except when it is used, and then it
does not reject but simplu evaluates to false, just like 1 = 2
is false but not erroneous.

It correctly determines that there is a cycle in the directed graph
of the evaluation sequence of the expression, which is like an
infinite loop in a program.
You can understand this or fail to understand this, disagreement is
incorrect. If you have any disagreement then please back up your
claims with proof.

unification like LP = not(true(LP)) does same is implementation
dependent as Prolog rules permit but do not require that. In a
typical implementation a simple unification does not check for
cycles.

Alternatively such expressions crash or remain stuck in infinite loops.
Not necessarily. What happes depends on the implementation and on what
you do with such structures. You already saw that your
?- LP = not(true(LP)).
does not crash and does not remain stuck in infinite loop.

Anyway, none of this is relevant to the topic of this thread or
topics of sci.logic.
If you want to talk nore about Prolog do it in comp.lang.prolog.

It is relevant to sci.logic in that it exposes fundamental flaws
with classical logic.
That contradictory result apparently throws us into the lion’s den of
semantic incoherence. The incoherence is due to the fact that, according
to the rules of classical logic, anything follows from a contradiction,
even 1 + 1 = 3. https://iep.utm.edu/liar-paradox/#
