   I created Olcott's Minimal Type Theory to get around   
   all that screwy nonsense. LP := ~True(LP) specifies   
   ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...))))))

   You must pay attention to the MTT language specification.   
   provided above. Especially the "defined as" operator: :=

   It hides all the of underlying semantic details and   
   leaps to a conclusion.

   Google [Olcott's Minimal Type Theory]   
   LP := ~True(LP) // LP says of itself that it is not true   
   It expands to: ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...))))))

   You don't even glance at what I say before you judge it.

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