      From: borkent@cs.utwente.nl              > It would seem to be a great virtue of predicate logic, if it cannot       > express such nonsense.              Btw, we can put things like:              Vx.P(x) ^ ¬P(x)              too right? So maybe it's not that trivial as you might have thought, being       not able to self-reference in Predicate Logic? And is the Diagonalization       Lemma not a proof of that we actually can self-reference in PL?              Gr,       Michiel Borkent              [ comp.ai is moderated.
