   Because the expression is semantically unsound   
   because the evaluation of the expression would   
   remain stuck in an infinite loop forever never   
   to be resolved to a truth value.   
      
   *SEMANTICALLY UNSOUND* is the deep meaning.

   My 28 year goal has been to make   
   "true on the basis of meaning" computable.   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation   
   for correct reasoning.
