(Which isn't what others consider it to be).              I didn't think this stuff up on my own. I had at       least 100 dialogues with five different LLM systems       and after much push-back they all agreed that I am       correct after 60 pages of dialogue each. I have       been working on this every waking moment for weeks.              It was Copilot that recognized that my system was       Proof Theoretic Semantics (PTS) that resolves to       provable / refutable / non-well-founded.              Every system also agrees that HHH(DD) does       correctly reject DD as non-well-founded.       I just can't get them to do that concisely yet.              Once I can get them to actually do the simulation       then they immediately see from their own simulation       trace that HHH correctly rejects DD as non-well-founded       within proof theoretic semantics.              non-well-founded literally means that the proof       itself is stuck in a loop.              --       Copyright 2026 Olcott |
