   I have boiled that all down so it coherently all   
   holds together and proves itself completely true   
   entirely on the basis of the meaning of its words.

              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
