    But if x is what you are saying is

    A True(X) predicate can be defined and Tarski never
    showed that it cannot.

    Sure he did. Using a mathematical system like Godel, we can construct
    a statement x, which is only true it is the case that True(x) is
    false, but this interperetation can only be seen in the metalanguage
    created from the language in the proof, similar to Godel meta that
    generates the proof testing relationship that shows that G can only
    be true if it can not be proven as the existance of a number to make
    it false, becomes a proof that the statement is true and thus creates
    a contradiction in the system.

    That you can't understand that, or get confused by what is in the
    language, which your True predicate can look at, and in the
    metalanguage, which it can not, but still you make bold statements
    that you can not prove, and have been pointed out to be wrong, just
    shows how stupid you are.


    True(X) only returns TRUE when a a sequence of truth
    preserving operations can derive X from the set of basic
    facts and returns false otherwise.

    Right, but needs to do so even if the path to x is infinite in length.


    This never fails on the entire set of human general
    knowledge that can be expressed using language.

    But that isn't a logic system, so you are just proving your stupidity.

    Note, "The Entire set of Human General Knowledge" does not contain
    the contents of Meta-systems like Tarski uses, as there are an
    infinite number of them possible, and thus to even try to express
    them all requires an infinite number of axioms, and thus your system
    fails to meet the requirements. Once you don't have the meta-systems,
    Tarski proof can create a metasystem, that you system doesn't know
    about, which creates the problem statement.


    It is not fooled by pathological self-reference or
    self-contradiction.


    Of course it is, because it can't detect all forms of such references.

    And, even if it does detect it, what answer does True(x) produce when
    we have designed (via a metalanguage) that the statement x in the
    language will be true if and only if !True(x), which he showed can be
    done in ANY system with sufficient power, which your universal system
    must have.

    Sorry, you are just showing how little you understand what you are
    talking about.

    We need no metalanguage. A single formalized natural
    language can express its own semantics as connections
    between expressions of this same language.

    A nice formal language has the symbols and syntax of the first order logic with equivalence and the following additional symbols:

    I am not talking about a trivially simple formal
    language. I am talking about very significant
    extensions to something like Montague grammar.

    The language must be expressive enough to fully
    encode any and all details of each element of the
    entire body of human general knowledge that can
    be expressed using language. Davidson semantics
    provides another encoding.

    To address the objection to these forms of encoding
    that they ignore the important source of meaning
    of linguistics pragmatics context, what I am proposing
    also includes a situation specific knowledge ontology
    that directly encode the full context of the specific
    situation.

    -a0 is a term
    -a+ is a binary operator (i.e., term + term is a term)
    -a< is a binary relation (i.e., term < term is a formula).
    The definition of + is ambiguous as it does not define wich one of the
    two + signs in A + B + C is should be evaluated first but with the
    postulate that the result is the same in both cases that does not matter.

    How do you express semantics of that language with the lanugage itself?
    There should be at least enough semantics to tell whether x = 0 for every
    x.

    Maybe, depends on your definitions. Of course, part of the problem is
    that the "smell of a rose" is actually a subject thing, so not directly related to knowledge. Of course that concept blows apart large parts of
    your theory. Much of what is commonly called "Human Knowledge" isn't

    We need no metalanguage. A single formalized natural
    language can express its own semantics as connections
    between expressions of this same language.

    A nice formal language has the symbols and syntax of the first

    with equivalence and the following additional symbols:

    I am not talking about a trivially simple formal
    language. I am talking about very significant

    The language must be expressive enough to fully
    encode any and all details of each element of the
    entire body of human general knowledge that can
    be expressed using language. Davidson semantics
    provides another encoding.

    NO STUPID BASIC FACTS ARE NOT ANY SORT OF OPINION.

    But much of what is called "knowledge" is.

    ANYTHING based on observations is ultimately "opinion".

    Even things like the Law of Gravity, are just the agreed upon opinion
    that it best represents our observations, as can be seen by the fact
    that when you move into a science that supports General Relativity, the
    "Law of Gravity" changes.

    And anything based on the assigning of "names" (like categories) to
    thing is just the agreement of a shared opinion.

    That is the problem of trying to incorporate ALL knowledge into one
    system, it becomes contradictory.

    In fact, even your statement that defines True as the set of things know
    to be true leads to a contradiction.

    For example, it is a part of Human Knowledge that Collatz Conjecture
    must be either true or false, as it falls in a logic field that obeys
    the law of the excluded middle.

    But, in your system, Collatz Conjecture can neither be True or False, as
    it has not yet been proven one way or the other, and thus the statement
    can not be in either the set of True statement of False statement.

    Thus, it is known to be in the union of the two sets, but can not be in
    either of them (until the conjecture is resolved).

    Basically, you logic system can't handle the unknown, and thus can be
    used to discover the unknown, and thus is mostly worthless.

    Except it isn't true, as:

    First, it isn't a logic system until you add the rules of logic to
    define how you manipulate items.

    Second, within that set of knowledge is the definition of undecidabiliry
    and undefinability, that you are forced to accept from what *IS* human knowledge, which is the agreed upon meanings,

    And thus, when you include the rules that are encoded into that
    knowledge base, you include those rules used by Godel and company that
    shows that any logic system powerful enough to express the properties of
    the Natual Numbers (which a system of ALL Knowledge) would have, must be incomplete.

    Sorry, you just don't understand that you can't define your way out of
    the problems of logic, unless you first remove large chunks of what is knowledge from your system.

    You don't seem to understand that fact, because apparently you can't

    Prolog can handle.


    This concise specification is air-tight.
    The set of all human general knowledge that can be expressed
    using language has no undecidability or undefinability.



    Except it isn't true, as:

    First, it isn't a logic system until you add the rules of logic to
    define how you manipulate items.


    Every operation is permitted as long as it is truth preserving
    and begins on the basis of basic facts expressed as language.
    It is self-evident that undecidability cannot possibly exist
    in such a system.


    IN other words the implication operator, where any false statement can
    imply that any statement would be true, if the false statement is true,
    is allowed in your systm?

    That *IS* "Truth Preserving".

    Second, within that set of knowledge is the definition of
    undecidabiliry and undefinability, that you are forced to accept from
    what *IS* human knowledge, which is the agreed upon meanings,

    These terms are defined in the set of all general knowledge
    that can be expressed in language yet cannot apply to this
    system itself because everything is already decided.

    Nope, as you "system" doesn't know if the Goldbach conjecture is true or

    Sorry, but you are just showing that you don't understand how logic works.


    And thus, when you include the rules that are encoded into that
    knowledge base, you include those rules used by Godel and company that
    shows that any logic system powerful enough to express the properties

    must be incomplete.


    In this much more powerful system he is simply proved wrong.
    Undecidability is impossible when EVERYTHING has already been

    Nope, because EVERYTHING can't be decided, as there are only Aleph_0

    Sorry, you just don't understand that you can't define your way out of
    the problems of logic, unless you first remove large chunks of what is

    Try and show that any verified fact is untrue.


    What "verifid fact". YOu haven't verified anything, just made claimes
    based on definition you have addmitted don't come from the logic system
    that you claim to be working in, and thus are just lies.

    Your problem is you don't know the basic meaning of the terms of logic,
    so you can't understand that you converstaion is just illogical.

    Like the fact that Goldbach's conjecture must be either true or false?

    True(Goldbach) in your system is FALSE

    False(Godbach) in your system is FALSE

    Thus True(Goldback) | False(Goldback) is FALSE, but you admitted it must
    be true.

    Sorry, you are just showing how ignorant you are of how logic works,
    because you only understand the most primative of logic systems.

    *This requires a concrete counter-example*
    Calling me stupid as your whole rebuttal makes you look foolish.

    What? I refer to a well established proof and tell you to find the flaw
    that you claim must be their.

    YOU are the one with the burden of proof in your saying that Tarski is
    just wrong to say he has show something, when you haven't even seems to
    have read the work where he showed it.


    I understand that when you see that I am unequivocally
    correct and still desperately want to form some rebuttal
    that your choices are limited.


    Nope, you are proven to be a liar by your own words.

    If you want to say Tarski is in error, you need to show the step that he errored in, not just say what he proved couldn't be true, based on your ignorance of that logic.

    So, how do you assign the values to all the axioms via axioms?

    You can't do it in the system, as it adds axioms that also need to be numbered.

    Please show how you can make a system with two "normal" axioms, plus the axioms to assign numbers to every axiom in the system.

    Remember, you need a finite number of axioms in the final system.

    No. you have handwaved an idea that you can not actually substantiate.

    Your don't understand that your system, to fit the rules must be finite,
    and thus can't enumerate itself. It also can't prevent the formation of
    a metalanguage that does enumerate itself unless you prevent the
    creation of the Natural Numbers in your system (and that doesn't prevent
    the enumeration, just the ability to move the statement from the
    metalangauge to the language).

    You haven't answer ANY of the question about this, because you are just
    too stupid to understand it.

    Until you either stop making the claim, or answer HOW you acheive what
    you have claimed, you are just showing your self to be just a blantant
    liar commiting fraud.

    Sorry, but that is just the truth, something that is just beyond your understanding.

    But then it doesn't meet the requirement that Tarski was talking about.

    The problem is you can't limit what can be derived from a system if you provide the tools.

    Your problem is you just think you understand how logic systems work,
    but you don't actually know, which is why all your descriptions are just
    high level skeletons, and not actual theory about how to do it, because
    your idea are just mythology, and need a Truth Fairy to change the rules
    to make it work, but that isn't within the bounds of logic.

    Sorry, you are just proving how stupid you are, so stupid you can't
    understand that you don't understand the basics.

    So, how do you assign the values to all the axioms via axioms?

    You can't do it in the system, as it adds axioms that also need to be numbered.

    Please show how you can make a system with two "normal" axioms, plus the axioms to assign numbers to every axiom in the system.

    Remember, you need a finite number of axioms in the final system.

    OK finally you are not rejecting what I say out-of-hand without review.

    Categorically exhaustive reasoning does not ever delve into the weeds
    of the details of hows something is accomplished until after there
    is 100% complete understanding of what is to be accomplished why it
    is to be accomplished.

    I need you to first understand that the set of knowledge expressed
    using language cannot possibly have any undecidability.

    The language must be expressive enough to fully
    encode any and all details of each element of the
    entire body of human general knowledge that can
    be expressed using language. Davidson semantics
    provides another encoding.


    But "encoding" knowledge, isn't a logic system.
    Unless you bother to pay attention to the details
    of how this of encoded.

    and that needs more that just expressing them as knowledge. >>>>>>>>>>

    NOT AT ALL DUMB BUNNY, for all the expressions

    Part of the problem is that most of what we call "Human >>>>>>>>>>>> Knowledge" isn't logically defined truth, but is just >>>>>>>>>>>> "Emperical Knowledge", for which we

    The set of human knowledge that can be expressed

    This concise specification is air-tight.
    The set of all human general knowledge that can be expressed
    using language has no undecidability or undefinability.



    Nope. Proven otherwise, and you are just showing your stupidity in >>>>>> maintaining that claim.



    Then try and show ALL OF THE DETAILS OF how when one starts
    with basic facts and only applies truth preserving operations that
    True(X) is not always correct.

    You have already shown that you don't understand the proof, so why
    should I repeat it,

    Look at Tarski's FULL paper (and the material he references) and see
    how he develops the expression of x in the language, by working in
    the metalanguage it embed the needed meaning into x


    I have already specified a system that needs no
    metalanguage because it has all of its full
    semantics specified syntactically and I-a got
    the essence of this idea from G||del back in 2012
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_type_theory#G%C3%B6del_1944


    So, how do you assign the values to all the axioms via axioms?

    You can't do it in the system, as it adds axioms that also need to be
    numbered.

    Please show how you can make a system with two "normal" axioms, plus
    the axioms to assign numbers to every axiom in the system.

    Remember, you need a finite number of axioms in the final system.

    OK finally you are not rejecting what I say out-of-hand without review.

    Categorically exhaustive reasoning does not ever delve into the weeds
    of the details of hows something is accomplished until after there
    is 100% complete understanding of what is to be accomplished why it
    is to be accomplished.

    And thus can not be categorically exhaustive and thus an oxymoron, being
    used by a regular moron.


    I need you to first understand that the set of knowledge expressed
    using language cannot possibly have any undecidability.


    Since a set isn't a logic system, you statement is just a category
    error, and thus can't be true.

    The problem is if you axiomize "all knowledge" (or even a moderate
    subset of it) and combine it with any half powerful set of logic, you
    create a logic system where we can show that there exist unprovable true statements and undecidable problem.

    Sorry, you are just showing your stupidity, in thinking that you
    understand something, when you are missing the fundamental definitions
    of the system.
