   That is the same as disagreeing with arithmetic.   
      
   Expressions of language that are defined in terms   
   of other expressions of language can be encoded   
   as relations between finite strings of GUIDs.   
      
   There is no reason why relations between GUIDs   
   cannot encode a finite set of different kinds of   
   relations to other GUIDs and each GUID corresponds   
   to one sense meaning of one word for every sense   
   meaning of every word.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning" computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
