   That definition has always been less than 100%   
   precisely accurate even when one takes the vague   
   term: "represents" with a more precise term of   
   the art-meaning.   
      
   I simply bypass all of that by defining the new   
   idea of the sequence of steps that a finite string   
   input instance specifies to its decider instance.   
      
   That is a level of precision that no one bothered   
   to think about for 90 years. That this level of   
   detail is empirically proven to make an actual   
   difference conclusively validates it.

              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
