   Compositionality is a concept in the philosophy of   
   language. A symbolic system is compositional if the   
   meaning of every complex expression E in that system   
   depends on, and depends only on, (i) E’s syntactic   
   structure and (ii) the meanings of E’s simple parts.   
      
   If a language is compositional, then the meaning of   
   a sentence S in that language cannot depend directly   
   on the context that sentence is used in or the intentions   
   of the speaker who uses it.

              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
