   They cannot be held accountable for any behavior   
   outside the scope of deciders as I have carefully   
   defined them. They cannot be required to bake   
   birthday cakes or use any psychic ability.   
      
   All that they can be required to do is transform   
   input finite strings into values.

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

   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation
