Right, the "Liar" is in the METALANGUAGE, not the LANGUAGE where the predicate is defined.

Yes, there is a connection to the liar's paradox, and that is that he shows that the presumed existance of a Truth Predicate forces the logic system to have to resolve the liar's paradox.

Therefore the assumption that a correct True() predicate exists is proven false.

When you stupidly ignore Prolog and MTT that
both prove there is a cycle in the directed graph
of their evaluation sequence. If you have no idea
what "cycle", "directed graph" and "evaluation sequence"
means then this mistake is easy to make.

When
LP  := ~True(LP)  True_Bearer(LP) == FALSE

 And by the above function, because True_Bearer(LP) == FALSE:
 

Which means that LP cannot possibly be either TRUE or FALSE
and instead must be rejected as invalid input to a True(X)
predicate.

True(LP) == FALSE, then
~True(LP) == TRUE, so
LP == TRUE
 Contradiction.  Therefore the assumption that a correct True() predicate exists is proven false
 

Likewise Truth_Bearer("ksdnf34589jknsdf34r87&%78^%78") == FALSE
<sarcasm>
and on that basis we know that True(X) predicates cannot
exist because True(X) predicates must correctly determine
whether random gibberish is true or false.
