   That is not what G itself says. That is merely the   
   extra baggage of one man's way of examining G.   
      
   The barest essence of G is:   
   G asserts its own unprovability.   
      
   When we examine what this semantically entails:   
   G asserts that there are no sequence of inference   
   steps that prove that they themselves do not exist.

   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
