   If you are only going to play head games you will be ignored.   
   It turns out the wellfounded proof theoretic semantics is the   
   key frame-of-reference that proves I have been correct about   
   all of these things all along.   
      
   When we anchor Wittgenstein this way he too was right all along   
      
     'True in Russell's system' means, as was   
      said: proved in Russell's system; and   
      'false in Russell's system' means: the   
      opposite has been proved in Russell's system   
      https://www.liarparadox.org/Wittgenstein.pdf   
      
   is exactly wellfounded proof theoretic semantics

   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
