   Unless the foundation model theory is replaced   
   with the foundation of proof theory and proof   
   theory itself is grounded in Haskell Curry's   
   notion of "true in the system".

              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
