I'd like to know how a computer would handle the Liar Paradox. Sadly I am not sure how. So directly I don't see a way to put it into CAOS and my Python got a bit rusty. Anybody some ideas? Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

I'm guessing the affected agent/program would probably freeze up and become unresponsive. Although I can't think of a way to put it in CAOS, either. Hmm...  |

Maybe a supercomputer could handle it, and that the following sentence is false, maybe the previous sentences were true. I love this paradox. Then again, we could always make these two sentences into two people. Then, we ask them"What color is the sky?", "What color is grass?", "Is it light right now, or dark?", or, "Who asked you this question?" That's the way I solve it when they are people. beep |

The Liar's Paradox is a language-based paradox. Trying to get a computer to solve it would be silly, since computers use a language based on pure logic, in which a self-referential sentence like the one in the Paradox cannot possible be written down. The Community Scribble: make (y)our own metaroom! |

I know it is really silly, but I still would like to try it out, simply to please a small part of my frequent curiosity about... well, everything. I am sure it is somehow possible, because the Liar Paradox works basically like this: If state X = true then State X = false. That should be something a computer can sort of understand.

That wouldn't really create a paradox, though. If you mean something like this: doif ov00 eq 1 ov00 eq 0 elif ov00 eq 0 ov00 eq 1 endi That doesn't create a contradiction, just an infinite loop in which ov00 changes from 1 to 0 and back. |
