   It is an axiom: ∀x (Provable(x) ⇒ True(x))   
      
   There are dozens of papers needed to verify this.   
   It will take me quite a while to form proper citations   
   of these papers. It is anchored in proof theoretic semantics.   
   Generic PTS states that ~Provable(x) ⇔ Meaningless(x).   
   Model theory and truth conditional semantics are rejected.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
       reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.

              This required establishing a new foundation
