Right, but that has nothing to do with the problem with True(L, p) being false, because, since p in L is ~True(L, p) so that make True(L, ~false) which is True(L, true) false, which is incorrrect.

right, by your definitions, True(L, p) is False, but that means that True(L, true) is false, so your system is broken.

You get stuck when we formalize: "This sentence is not true"

No, YOU get stuck when you can't figure out how to make True(L, p) with p defined in L as ~True(L, p) work. If it IS false, then the resulting comclusion is that True(L, true) is false, whicn means your system is broken.

In other words, you believe that it is a valid interpretation to change the meaning of words from what the original speaker took the words to mean, and still are able to say that he actually MEANT the sentence with the new meaning of the words.

Yes, which shows that True(L, p) can not exist, or it allows the PROVING of both truth values for the Truth Teller Paradox, instead of being able to leave it as a non-truth-bearer.

"True(L, true)" lacks a truth object that it is true about.
A sentence cannot correctly be true about being true...
It has to be true about something other than itself.

True(L,x) returns true when x is derived from a set of truth preserving operations from finite string expressions of language that have been stipulated to have the semantic value of Boolean true. False(L,x) is defined as True(L,~x). Copyright 2022 PL Olcott

Which, by your claim makes True(L, p) false, but that makes p to be defined as ~false, which is true, so you are claiming True(L, true) can be false.

You already agreed that p is neither true nor false.
This means that p is rejected as not a truth-bearer.

But, by doing so, you make it a truth bearer by the sentecne that defined it.

There is no way to make a non-truth-bearer into a truth-bearer.

So, so admit that True(L, p) isn't always at truth-bearer, and thus isn't the required predicate, and thus your claim it is just turns out to be a LIE.

You try and tell me how you can make "a fish" into an
expression that is true or false.
Where did I say I could.
The problem is that p defined in L as ~True(L, p) is more powerful than your "a fish" statement.

Then True(L, p), which form the definition of p, is also not a Truth Bearer, and thus can not be the truth predicate.

Oncd you get that a non-truth-bearer resulting operation can't be a predicate, you will understand your error.

You already admitted that True(L,p) and False(L,p) both return false.
This is the correct value that these predicates correctly derived.
Right, but that also means that we can show that True(L, true) returns false, which says your logic system is broken by being inconsistant.
It seems that now you are now disagreeing with your own self. You are
saying the predicates are broken BECAUSE THEY RETURN THE CORRECT VALUE.
No, your logic system disagrees with itself, I am just pointing that out.
This is the problem with the assumption that a Truth Predicate exists, and is what Tarksi was pointing out, but which seems to be above your level of understanding.
