   When a halt decider is defined to exceed what   
   generic deciders can do then this definition   
   is incorrect.   
      
   A halt decider is nothing more than a specialized   
   decider. It can only make its decision on the basis   
   of finite string transformation rules.

              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
