   Exactly the opposite Incompleteness and Undefinability   
   dishonestly dodge the fact the their actual sentences   
   are incoherent by using the meta-level.   
      
   This meta-level is correct to state that these sentences   
   are not provable and not true.   
      
   The meta-level never looks at why they are unprovable   
   and untrue. They are unprovable and untrue BECAUSE they   
   are semantically incoherent.   
      
   The proper treatment is to toss these sentences out as   
   incoherent. The proper treatment is not to create a   
   meta-level that simply ignores this incoherence.   
      
   Tarski's metatheory        Tarski's theory   
   This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true   
      
   ?- LP = not(true(LP)).   
   LP = not(true(LP)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).   
   false.   
      
   In meta-F                        In F   
   This sentence cannot be proven: "This sentence cannot be proven" is true   
      
   ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).   
   false.

              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
