Unrestricted Self-applicable Definability

Unrestricted self-applicable definability names the assumption that a self-applicable definability predicate correctly classifies every description of its own language , under one fixed interpretation:

This must hold for every encoded description and object , including descriptions that use or negate itself. No restriction excludes these descriptions from its scope. Berry’s paradox challenges this assumption, not definability relative to a restricted language.
