   Computation only applies finite string   
   transformation rules to finite string inputs.   
      
   Deciders transform finite string inputs by   
   finite string transformation rules into   
   {Accept, Reject} values.

              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
