   The above post is when I bridged the analytic/synthetic   
   divide that has existed since 1952   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Dogmas_of_Empiricism   
      
   with:  "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"   
      
   Now we have Russell's logical-atomism from the   
   correspondence theory of truth   
      
      the world consists of a plurality of independently   
      existing things exhibiting qualities and standing   
      in relations. According to logical atomism, all truths   
      are ultimately dependent upon a layer of atomic facts,   
      which consist either of a simple particular exhibiting   
      a quality, or multiple simple particulars standing in   
      a relation. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-atomism/   
      
   providing the axiomatic basis for the coherence theory   
   of truth. Linking to Wittgenstein's   
      
      'True in Russell's system' means, as was said: proved   
      in Russell's system; and 'false in Russell's system'   
      means: the opposite has been proved in Russell's system.   
      (Wittgenstein 1983,118-119)

              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
