Hmm, right, I messed it up: :Aq doesn’t refer to itself.
How about this one then:
<< :A a :Lie >> owl:sameAs :A .
Or this one:
:A a :Lie ;
owl:sameAs << :A a :Lie >> .
Maybe I’m still messing it up, but in principle the fact that I can replace the quoted triple by an IRI that has the exact same meaning (which is how owl:sameAs is defined) should be enough to outmaneuver the syntactic constraint meant to prevent paradoxes. Right?
