   I will give you a much simpler example.   
   If a universal truth predicate is defined   
   to return true when and expression is true   
   and false when an expression is false then   
   what does it correctly return for this:   
   True("What time is it")

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