   Semantic tautologies are always final even   
   if no one understands them.   
      
   Any expression of language that is proven true   
   entirely on the basis of its meaning expressed   
   in language is a semantic tautology.

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