So you say that: 'Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation' yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation. does not have any meaning? Why? I think that both "'Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation'" and "yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation" have very clear meaning, and the whole sentence also does. The sentence very clearly and precisely mean something, just it is neither true or false.

It might, I'm just saying it's beyond my comprehension. I might briefly grok it if I focus hard enough, but it will soon elude me again.

Out of curiosity, is the meaning different than "this sentence is false?"
