We present a theory of stratified truth ST μ with a μ‐operator, where terms representing fixed points of stratified monotone operations are available. We prove that ST μ is relatively intepretable into Quine's NF (or subsystems thereof). The motivation is to investigate a strong theory of truth, which is consistent by means of stratification , i.e., by adopting an implicit type theoretic discipline, and yet is compatible with self‐reference (to a certain extent). The present version of ST μ is an enhancement of the theory presented in [2].
