   It turns out that I must have remembered this from:   
      
   *Russell’s Logical Atomism*   
      the claim that the world consists of a plurality of   
      independently existing things exhibiting qualities   
      and standing in relations. According to logical   
      atomism, all truths are ultimately dependent upon   
      a layer of atomic facts, which consist either of a   
      simple particular exhibiting a quality, or multiple   
      simple particulars standing in a relation.

   I bought his book a few decades ago.

   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
