   Rejecting expressions of formal language   
   having pathological self-reference   
      
   Explained how expressions with pathological self   
   reference can simply be rejected as semantically/   
   syntactically unsound thus preventing undefinability,   
   and undecidability.   
      
   This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true"   
   is true only because the inner sentence is semantically   
   unsound. The inner sentence is formalized in Minimal   
   Type Theory as LP := ~True(LP).   
   (where A := B means A is defined as B).

   Can someone review my actual reasoning   
   elaborated in the paper?
