   PA augmented with its own True(PA,x) and False(PA,x)   
   is a decider for Domain of every expression grounded   
   in the axioms of PA.   
      
   A system at a higher level of inference than PA can   
   reject any expressions that define a cycle in the   
   directed graph of the evaluation sequence of PA   
   expressions. Then PA could test back chained inference   
   from expression x and ~x to the axioms of PA.

   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
