   That you do not even know the details of my work gives   
   you no basis to refute it.   
      
   void DDD()   
   {   
      HHH(DDD);   
      return;   
   }   
      
   No more gaslighting me that DDD simulated by HHH   
   according to the semantics of the C programming   
   language can possibly reach its own simulated "return"   
   statement final halt state.   
      
   Four different Chatbots were able to immediately figure   
   this out on their own.

   All you have is rhetoric and ad hominem that is entirely   
   bereft of any supporting reasoning. No one even tries to   
   point out any actual mistake even when repeatedly dared   
   to do this.

   Sure because all mathematicians that created these proofs   
   are inherently infallible. If God himself pointed out any   
   error this would be blasphemy.   
      
   The proof of this is that Naive set theory is still infallible   
   and ZFC is just some head game that has no actual value at all.

   You can't even correctly point out one single detail of any   
   actual mistake that I made that would invalidate my proof.

   Yet.   
   *What I am proposing is a giant expansion of the syllogism*   
   Every meaning of every natural language word is mathematically   
   formalized using an extension to Montague Grammar. These are   
   all in a knowledge ontology inheritance hierarchy. This creates   
   a finite list of all of the basis facts of the world.

   No this too is not my error. It is actually the error   
   of Willard Van Orman Quine https://iep.utm.edu/quine-an/   
   that used double talk and weasel words to convince most   
   people that analytic truth does not exist. He couldn't   
   even figure out how we know that bachelors are unmarried.   
      
   The type of truth that I refer to here is expressions of   
   language that are proven completely true entirely on the   
   basis of other expressions of language.
