   The gist of   
   *correct semantic entailment*   
   is shown by the syllogism that directly encodes   
   its semantics as categorical propositions.   
      
   No separate model theory nonsense where true   
   and provable can diverge.

              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
