   The body of general knowledge that can be expressed in   
   language includes all of the details of every published   
   definition in a knowledge ontology type hierarchy.   
   Each atomic fact of the actual world.   
      
   This is stored as formalized natural language such as   
   Rudolf Carnap Meaning Postulates, Montague Grammar of   
   natural language semantics, or the CycL language of the   
   Cyc project's knowledge ontology.   
      
   Some aspects of this knowledge might also be stored in   
   some other formal language that may be more compact   
   and succinct for mathematical notions.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning" computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
