   There is a broad consensus that Gödel's 1931 Incompleteness   
   theorem is correct and that the Liar Paradox is unresolved.   
      
   It easy to see that both are incorrect when using Proof   
   Theoretic Semantics. Most experts in math and logic seem   
   to simply not "believe in" Proof Theoretic Semantics because   
   they are sheep and only follow the herd.

              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
