   Correct proofs can also depend on the meaning of natural   
   language words. It is typical that formal proofs make sure   
   to totally ignore every aspect of this.   
      
   An expression of language is proven true when a set of   
   semantic meanings makes it true.   
      
   To really understand this requires deep understanding of   
   the philosophy of truth, rather than rote memorization   
   of some conventional steps.   
      
   Two elements that require very deep understanding are   
   (a) truth-makers and (b) truth-bearers.   
   Truthmaker Maximalism says that when there is nothing   
   that makes an expression of language true then this   
   expression is not true.
