Gratuitous Argument: Obviously, the veracity of the statement "This sentence is false" is indeterminate, as Rule 2518 ("Determinacy") makes clear. As a result, whether or not you owe shinies to Agora is indeterminate, whether or not you owe shinies to Cuddlebeam is indeterminate, and if you

I'm guessing another way this could work is via Pledges which have even less restrictions. Just custom-write whatever you need to engineer a paradox. The main concern would be dodging "irrelevant", though. But it could be doable. On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 6:02 AM, Cuddle Beam

Going to do a quick check on possible pitfalls on this indeterminate/inextricable stuff for Nichdel's variant, just in case anything is missing to this puzzle. Here are all mentions of "inextricable conditionals" and "indeterminate" in the ruleset and how I perceive it interacts with Nichdel's

Well it seems viable to me so I'll give it a shot I guess lol. (Wielding paradoxes is a weird thing, I hope I'm doing it right). Here are the proto-actions: I create a contract by paying 1 shiny to Agora, with the following text: --- "This sentence is false." If the statement above is

Maybe this is a dumb question but, wouldn't it be possible to just "program" yourself some kind of paradox into a contract, for example, some variant of the Paradox of the Court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_the_Court where I have to pay someone or not, then request in a CFJ to know if
