   The following Gödel G is semantically incorrect the   
   same way that Liar Paradox is incorrect. The directed   
   graph of their evaluation sequence has a cycle meaning   
   that their evaluation is stuck in an infinite loop.   
      
   G ↔ ¬Prov(⌜G⌝)   
   Directed Graph of evaluation sequence   
   00 ↔               01 02   
   01 G   
   02 ¬               03   
   03 Prov            04   
   04 Gödel_Number_of 01  // cycle   
      
   Prolog version   
   ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).   
   false.   
      
   LP := ~True(LP)  // A := B means A "is defined as" B   
   Directed Graph of evaluation sequence   
   00 ~               01   
   01 True            00 // cycle   
      
   Prolog version   
   ?- LP = not(true(LP)).   
   LP = not(true(LP)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).   
   false.
