   Revelation 21:8   
   King James Version   
   ...and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which   
   burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.   
      
   Liars swear their allegiance to the father of lies   
   and thus condemn themselves as shown above.   
      
   Kurt Gödel in his 1944 Russell's mathematical logic gave   
   the following definition of the "theory of simple types"   
   in a footnote:   
      
   By the theory of simple types I mean the doctrine which says   
   that the objects of thought ... are divided into types,   
   namely: individuals, properties of individuals, relations   
   between individuals, properties of such relations, etc.   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_type_theory#G%C3%B6del_1944   
      
   The essence of this is that all *objects of thought*   
   can be encoded in a hierarchy of types as relations   
   between finite strings.

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