   My *above* two paragraphs sums up the basis of how   
   the halting problem itself is flat out incorrect.

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