   It is the same ∀x ∈ T ((True(T, x) ≡ (T ⊢ x))   
   that I have been talking about for years except that   
   it is now grounded in well-founded proof‑theoretic   
   semantics.   
      
   *That exactly maps to this*   
      
   All deciders essentially: Transform finite string   
   inputs by finite string transformation rules into   
   {Accept, Reject} values.   
      
   Proof‑theoretic semantics didn't exist when Gödel   
   wrote his paper.

   everything we know about the real world   
   is encoded as a finite set of atomic facts   
   that ARE the Haskell Curry Axioms:   
      
    Thus, given {T}, an elementary theorem   
    is an elementary statement which is true.
