    Recall that the so-called revision theory of truth in the sense of Gupta and Belnap can be interpreted as an alternative approach to the Kripkean theory of fixed points. The author gives a simplified (use definitional complexity) notion of revision sequences so as to arrive at a slightly generalized algorithmic theory of truth. In the process, a modest unification is given to the Kripkean theory of truth. No new way is given to fend off the adverse effects of paradoxes; e.g., (strong) liar paradoxes.
