   I never look at things in terms of their complex verbosity.

   Maybe with the swearing, these people have proven to   
   be incorrigible, that is why I blocked half of them.

   I used the "defined as" operator to allow   
   direct self-reference.

   I mean every fact that can be axiomatized in the   
   the verbal model of the actual world.

   finite strings Implementing Gödel's "theory of simple types"

   Here I show Olcott's Minimal Type Theory and   
   Prolog side-by-side with the Clocksin & Mellish   
   showing the same infinite expansion.   
      
   % This sentence is not true.   
   ?- LP = not(true(LP)).   
   LP = not(true(LP)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).   
   false.   
      
   In Olcott's Minimal Type Theory   
   LP := ~True(LP)   
   that expands to: ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(LP)))))   
      
   BEGIN:(Clocksin & Mellish 2003:254)   
   Finally, a note about how Prolog matching sometimes differs from the   
   unification used in Resolution. Most Prolog systems will allow you to   
   satisfy goals like:   
      
   equal(X, X).   
   ?- equal(foo(Y), Y).   
      
   that is, they will allow you to match a term against an uninstantiated   
   subterm of itself. In this example, foo(Y) is matched against Y,   
   which appears within it. As a result, Y will stand for foo(Y), which is   
   foo(foo(Y)) (because of what Y stands for), which is foo(foo(foo(Y))),   
   and so on. So Y ends up standing for some kind of infinite structure.   
   END:(Clocksin & Mellish 2003:254)   
      
   % This sentence cannot be proven in F   
   ?- G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   G = not(provable(F, G)).   
   ?- unify_with_occurs_check(G, not(provable(F, G))).   
   false.

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