TY - JOUR AU - Hsiung, Ming AB - Tarski's theorem essentially says that the Liar paradox is paradoxical in the minimal reflexive frame. We generalize this result to the Liar-like paradox for all ordinal 1. The main result is that for any positive integer n 2i(2j 1), the paradox n is paradoxical in a frame iff this frame contains at least a cycle the depth of which is not divisible by 2i1; and for any ordinal , the paradox is paradoxical in a frame iff this frame contains at least an infinite walk that has an arbitrarily large depth. We thus get that n has a degree of paradoxicality no more than m iff the multiplicity of 2 in the (unique) prime factorization of n is no more than that in the prime factorization of m; and all tranfinite has the same degree of paradoxcality but has a higher degree of paradoxicality than any n.
