   There is no model.   
      
   It is all Rudolf Carnap Meaning Postulates   
   that have every single nuance of 100% of their   
   semantic meaning directly encoding in this formal   
   language arranged in a knowledge ontology   
   inheritance hierarchy.   
      
   "cats"  "animals" is stipulated.   
   How do we know that "cats"  "animals" ?   
   It is an axiom of the set of atomic facts of   
   the world.   
      
   "animals"  "living things" is stipulated.   
      
   How to we know that "cats"  "living things"   
   "cats"  "animals"   
   "animals"  "living things"   
   Therefore "cats"  "living things"   
   Ordinary syllogism.

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