   Ever since 1997 the author has investigated the fundamental   
   nature of “true on the basis of meaning”. The traditional   
   analytic / synthetic distinction is unequivocally demarcated into:   
      
   (a) True on the basis of meaning fully expressed as   
        relations between finite strings.   
      
   (b) True that can only be verified by sense data from the   
        sense organs.   
      
   Any system of reasoning that begins with a consistent set   
   of stipulated truths and only applies the truth preserving   
   operation of semantic logical entailment to this finite   
   set of basic facts inherently derives a truth predicate   
   that works consistently and correctly for this entire body   
   of knowledge that can be expressed in language.   
      
       “The halting problem, as classically formulated,   
        relies on an inferential step that is not justified   
        by a continuous chain of semantic entailment from   
        its initial stipulations.”   
        ...   
       "The halting problem’s definition contains a break   
        in the chain of semantic entailment; it asserts   
        totality over a domain that its own semantics cannot   
        support."
