Theorem currybi

Description: Biconditional version of Curry's paradox. If some proposition ph amounts to the self-referential statement "This very statement is equivalent to ps ", then ps is true. See bj-currypara in BJ's mathbox for the classical version. (Contributed by Adrian Ducourtial, 18-Mar-2025)
