True, False, and Paranormal

Abstract: This is a work in progress. Let 'dtrue'
be a unary predicate such that dtrue<A> and A are intersubstitutable
in all (transparent) contexts. There are two standard approaches
to dtruth-theoretic paradox, namely, paraconsistent and paracomplete,
each facing standard problems. I propose a modest alternative,
one that serves as a sort of compromise between the two standard
approaches.
