Fixed Points | Logic Texts | Read III 196 Kripke's Fixed Points/Read: 1. Separate truth and falsehood conditions (i.e. falsehood is not equal to non-truth). 2. Two sentence sets S1: true sentences, S2 false sentences. 3. Do evaluation on each level, therefore you have to choose a higher level. In this way, all sentences are "collected". Fixed point/(s): where evaluation (output) is identical to input. Read: Success: then the extension fails - i.e. the meta language does not contain any further truth-attributions than the object language(1). >Meta language, >Object language, >Levels (Order). III 197 Kripke's Fixed Points/Kripke: the extension fails: the meta language has no further truth-attributions. There is a paradox in the fixed point without truth value. Falsehood does not equal non-truth! >Truth value. Truth-predicate/Kripke's Fixed Points/Read: we separate the truth-predicates truth and falsehood - the truth-predicate is formed by the pair (S1, S2), whereby S1 contains the true sentences and S2 contains the wrong sentences. >Truth predicate. 1st level: here, a sentence has, e.g. ""Snow is white" is true" has no truth value because evaluation at this stage is not possible. >Valuation. Solution: weak matrices for evaluating compound sentences, some of which are without truth value (without truth value) - (A v B) without truth value if one of A or B has no truth value (partial interpretation). III 198 Fixed point/Kripke's Fixed Points/Kripke/Read: the fixed point is reached by transfinite induction - recursive or successive with partial evaluations. 1st transfinite level: all finite partial evaluations of S1 and S2 are collected separately. N.B.: at an early point (before adding all possible sentences), the reinterpretation of the truth-predicate no longer succeeds in adding something new. Special case of the result about fixed points of normal functions over ordinal numbers. Phi/f: represents the operation of expanding by allowing new interpretations. The fixed point here is f(S1, S2) = (S1, S2). III 200 Unfounded assertions: the separation of S1 and S2 leaves some statements without a truth value - e.g. "this statement is true". It has no truth value at the minimum fixed point. One level higher we can give it an arbitrary value-but not to the liar paradox. Paradox/Kripke: follows Tarski: it cannot be expressed in one's own language. The entire discussion belongs to the meta language, as well as the predicates: "paradoxical" and "unfounded". They do not belong to the semantically terminated fixed point. Tarski's truth schema does not work here - (... + ...). >Disquotation schema. 1.
