Let's define a sentence to be

Isn't that an inconsistent definition?

C-B

Now let's
consider the senetnce "Grass is green." Is it greelish or not?

Forget about "truish." I think (1) is different than (2) because (1)
is self-referential and (2) is not. Your senetnce 42 only managed to
map two different sentences onto the same string. That proves nothing.
The issue is if (1) is the same as (2) or not.



It's the same contradiction as the Liar paradox, except
instead of asking whether the liar sentence is true, we
instead ask whether sentence 42 is truish. So "tokenism"
doesn't save you from the paradox.
