   The first incompleteness theorem states that in any   
   consistent formal system F within which a certain   
   amount of arithmetic can be carried out, there are   
   statements of the language of F which can neither   
   be proved nor disproved in F.

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