   % This sentence cannot be proven in F   
   ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).   
   false.   
      
   It is an expression of language having no truth value   
   because it is not a logic sentence.

   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
