Gödel Incompleteness can only be implemented in systems that implement Boolean True(L, x) incorrectly. It cannot exist in systems where True(L, x) mea...

It is a concrete example of an expression of language that is true on the basis of it meaning. Quine objected to true on the basis of meaning trying t...

We can combine (1) and (2) and say that every expression of language that is true on the basis of its meaning is either a fact or derived from a fact....

I am making zero assumptions what-so-ever. Facts are expressions of language that are true EVEN IF NO ONE KNOWS THIS OR EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE...

Actual facts are expressions of language that correctly model the actual world even if everyone in the universe disagrees or no one in the universe kn...

The ONLY way that we know that {cats are animals} is that it is stipulated to be true on the basis of the assigned meaning of the words. 2+2=4 is deri...

The key most important thing about Prolog is that Gödel's incompleteness can not be implemented in Prolog. Unprovable simply means untrue. Since this ...

That set of facts that comprise the actual model of the real world is the basis. This includes common sense and also details that almost everyone does...

The actual model of the world is the basis. Facts not opinions.

When reviewing the actual publications in the field it seems that the greatest experts in the field are incapable of understanding that self-contradic...

To be proven requires a sequence of inference steps that prove that they themselves do not exist. This is just like this adapted form of René Descarte...

We can determine that the Liar Paradox applied to itself is true: This sentence is not true: "This sentence is not true" is true. yet we can only do t...

The way that all self-contradictory sentences are ruled out is simple. Self-contradictory sentences cannot be proven or refuted from axioms thus are t...

That is not true at all. If someone says that a {dog} <is> a fifteen story office building this is ruled as false because there are no {dogs} that <ar...

In other words you too simply don't understand that epistemological antinomies (AKA self-contradictory expressions) are simply not truth bearers thus ...
April 12, 2024 at 01:59
The terrible mistake is that no self-contradictory expression is any kind of propositional at all. Not only is it a mistake it is a ridiculously stupi...

{correct} is an aspect of the meaning of the term {truth} so analytic truth cannot possibly be wrong in any way what-so-ever. If it cannot possibly be...
April 11, 2024 at 19:46
That is like saying the integer five may not be any kind of number at all. Everything that is {incorrect} is excluded from the body of {truth}. That p...

I hypothesize that mathematics is only construed as "incomplete" based on a nonsense meaning of complete. When provable from axioms means true and the...

I am stipulating that analytic truth are only those expressions of language that are a correct model of the actual world. It seems a little nutty to d...

Saying that analytic truth can be wrong it like saying that kittens can be 15 story office buildings it cannot possibly ever happen. The closest thing...

HOL applies to set of things at the next lower order of logic. Prolog works the way that analytic truth really works. If an expression can be proven f...

It is true that it is provable in meta-F that G is unprovable in F. "G is unprovable in F" has its truth-maker in Meta-F.
