   ...there is also a close relationship with the “liar” antinomy,14 ...   
   ...14 Every epistemological antinomy can likewise be used for a similar   
   undecidability proof...   
   ...We are therefore confronted with a proposition which   
   asserts its own unprovability. 15 … (Gödel 1931:40-41)

   Principia Mathematica And Related Systems   
      
   Even when Gödel directly admits that it is   
   as simple as that and people see that he   
   admitted it they still deny this.   
      
   G := (F ⊬ G) // where A := B means A "is defined as" B   
      
   LP := ~True(LP) // "This sentence is not true".   
      
   The Liar Paradox is an epistemological antinomy   
      
   epistemological antinomy   
   An epistemological antinomy is a fundamental,   
   unresolvable contradiction within human reason,   
   where two opposing conclusions, each supported   
   by seemingly valid arguments, appear equally true.

       reliably computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
