"All truth is a deep tautology." - Harold Bloom, a man you were dis'ing just the other day. ========================
Well to claim the interdefinability of the concepts of languages are like circles is platonic and, well, wrong.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (New International Version)
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Theories of truth[s] and concepts have changed considerably since Wittgenstein's "Tractatus", Tarski and Bateson, let alone the OT. Ontology has gotten even weirder.
