Gratuitous argument: Zefram's assertion that a speech act is only true the instant it is performed means that "Speech act" followed by "The previous statement is false" is not any kind of contradiction, as the speech act is false at the instant the second sentence is made. However, if the above CFJ is judged at the time when 2149 was in place, Zefram's assertion is contradicted by the idea that "the truth or falsity of the whole is what is significant." I'm adding this argument here as it will affect the re-judgement of 2087 as well. -Goethe
