OK haha before I forget, even though this is in the YouTube version of the essay:
The liar loop can be used in a supernifty proof of the exchange theorem (that, "This sentence is false," and, "This sentence is true," are interchangeable):
- A: B is true ("The next sentence is true")
-
B: A is false ("The previous sentence is false")
- "B is true," is true if and only if A is false.
- "A is false," is true if and only if B is false.
- But "if and only if" = identity.
- Therefore, "A: A is false," and, "B: B is true."
In other words, the liar loop "turns into" the conjunction of the liar and honest sentences.
