   If we are not talking about elements of the body   
   of knowledge that are missing or unknown truths   
   then there is no notion of actual incompleteness   
   that remains.   
      
   The problem here is that technical fields tend to   
   overload conventional terms with terms-of-the-art   
   meanings that are incompatible with their base meaning.   
      
   Undecidable decision problem have literally nothing   
   to do with any inability to make a decision.   
      
   They are actually merely yes/no questions such that   
   both yes and no are the wrong answer.

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