The following sentence is false. The preceding sentence is true. Which is correct?
The Truth: It is a loop, keep thinking. It is neither and both, it just depends on what step you are on.

Alright, disregard all previous answers. There is no answer to this question because it is paradox, a logical falacy. Both of the statements depend on each other for being truthful, however they contradict each other, so there is no possible answer. No answer would be the correct response.

Let's over-analyze for a moment, if the following sentence is false then it is not a sentence at all, but it is a sentence nonetheless. The preceding sentence wouldn't be true because you have nothing to base it or compare, unless you are talking about the preceding sentence, which would be, which is correct. In any case, you have no subject, so in essence you have no question.

The first.
we've got sentence A and sentence B.
A states that B is wrong
B states that A is true
if B claims that A is true, The statement in B is in fact incorrect, making A the opposite of True, which is false
if A is in fact incorrect in it's claim about B (which states A is true) then this will in fact negate the earlier logic (claiming that A is true, but in reality false)
this new logic for B is that A's actual claim is false, meaning that b is actually not incorrect, but correct!

Neither sentence has truth value, as neither makes a claim about anything comprehensible.

if something is not true,it is false.
if something is false,it is not true.

why is false false?
why is true true?
simply because you like it or not!
does it mean that the following sentence is false for everyone?
generalization kills!
seperation kills too!
