   No one can show how Gödel's incompleteness applies to the   
   formal system of The entire body of general knowledge that   
   can be expressed in language semantically. In other   
      
   YOU MUST MAKE SURE TO PAY COMPLETE ATTENTION TO EACH PF THESE WORDS   
   The entire body of general knowledge that can be expressed in language   
   The entire body of general knowledge that can be expressed in language   
   The entire body of general knowledge that can be expressed in language   
      
   The entire body of general knowledge that can be expressed in language   
   can perform any mathematical operation that can be performed.   
      
   THESE WORDS PROVE THAT THEY ARE COMPLETELY TRUE ENTIRELY   
   ON THE BASIS OF THEIR MEANING   
      
   Within the body of knowledge expressed in language   
   that is encoded in Rudolf Carnap Meaning Postulates   
   and arranged in a type hierarchy such that every   
   possible semantics is directly expressed in the syntax   
   of the formal language anything that cannot be proven   
   is not a member of this body.   
      
   There is nothing left out of the body of general   
   knowledge knowledge that can be expressed as language.   
   Its formal language is powerful enough that anything   
   that anyone can ever say can be formalized in this   
   language.

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