   Semantically entailed on the basis of a complete   
   finite set of basic facts of general knowledge   
   encoded in formalized natural language.   
      
   This last part is crucial because then provable   
   means true and unprovable means not a member of   
   the body of general knowledge.   
      
   You never ever get true and unprovable.

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