   Gödel’s incompleteness theorem only “works” if   
   one smuggles in an external notion of truth   
   (truth in ℕ) and then pretends it is an   
   internal notion of truth (truth in PA).   
   If we refuse to make that identification,   
   incompleteness evaporates.

   "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
   
   reliably computable.

   
      
   This required establishing a new foundation
