   It looks like I am first to have fully refuted the Halting Problem   
   and Gödel's Incompleteness. They are both in the same paper.

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