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
created Minimal Type Theory that does this same thing. That I did
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

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.

ISO Prolog implementations have the built-in predicate

Not necessarily. What happes depends on the implementation and on what

Anyway, none of this is relevant to the topic of this thread or

It is relevant to sci.logic in that it exposes fundamental flaws
with classical logic.
It does not expose any flaw in classical logic. Flaws in your
understanding of calssical logics are already sufficiently known.

What has now been shown is that L is true if, and only if, it is
false. Since L must be one or the other, it is both.
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/
