This statement is false.

That is not a true statement.

The reason for this has nothing directly to do with whether it is true or false, but rather because it is self-referential. By definition a logical statement MUST either be true or false. Your so-called statement cannot be processed as either because of its self-referential nature. Therefore, it is either not a statement, or it has nothing to do with logic. The former interpretation seems more reasonable, since you refer otherwise to logical terms.

And because your proposition is not a logical statement, it can't be a true one. Cake.

Since the following did not follow,there is no following, if there is no following then there is no statement yet there is your statement but not about a following that did not follow.
Did you understand anything?
Neither did I.........!

i don't think there's any truth value to that statement unless the words mean something other than we usually intend them...

so there's no answer to your question as far as i can tell
