Hi,
I was thinking about the "This statement is false" paradoxon and so I came to:
What about the "This statement is paradox" <err mmh metaparadoxon>?
It means that I, the statement, can't be true or false. I find that odd.
..Jumping
(1) Layer of statements: "I drink coffee"
(2) Layer of statements about statements: "<statement> is true/false"
(3) Layer of statements about statements about statements: "<statement> is paradox/not paradox"
or is it: "<statement> is true/false-determinable/finite or not"
Statements of (1) can state every possibility of language.
Statements of (2) state if statements of (1) correspond with reality/each other.
Statements of (3) state if statements of (2) are self-referential? finite?
Where are my mistakes :p? Or which books do you advise me to read? Err..Which question should i ask? Does (3) "exist"? Is the idea of layers a bad idea?
