   In Olcott's Minimal Type Theory Rudolf Carnap Meaning   
   Postulates directly encode semantic meaning in the syntax.   
      
   The meaningless finite string "Bachelor" is defined as   
   a semantic predicate through other already defined terms   
   ∀x (Bachelor(x) := (Male(x) ∧ Human(x) ∧ ~Married(x)))   
   Adapted by Olcott from Rudolf Carnap Meaning postulates.   
      
   And encoded in the syntax of Olcott's Minimal Type Theory   
   https://philarchive.org/archive/PETMTT-4v2   
      
   The predicate Human(x) requires trillions of other   
   Meaning postulates to provide all of its semantic meaning.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
