   Are you using a finite derivation in the meta-system of the limit of a   
   converging sequence of finite derivations of increasing length (whose   
   terminals may or may not be the statement being proved but the limit of   
   whose terminals /is/)?   
      
   And thus you say the statement is true thereby exemplifying a point from   
   which we may inductively infer a meaning for "true"? Is that "true of   
   the system in the meta-system" ?
