It tells us exactly one thing.
A complete finite list of "atomic facts" of general
knowledge tells us everything that can be expressed
in language. This finite list also has all of the
kinds of relations between these facts.

My 28 year goal has been to make

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically

Seems doubtful.  Falsehoods can also be expressed in language, together
with that vast trove of expressions which are neither true nor false.  In
fact, when it comes to "everything that can be expressed in language", a
list of "atomic facts" would appear to be unhelpful, just as much as a
list of "atomic falsehoods" would be, whatever that might mean.

A complete finite list of "atomic facts" of general knowledge
only includes true truth bearers and only facts that cannot
be derived from anything else. This excludes falsehoods and
expressions that are neither true nor false. It is the axiomatic
basis of knowledge of the world.

WHOOOOSHHH!  (The loud noise of you completely missing the point of my
post.)

Let's start again.  A complete list of "atomic facts", were such
possible, would tell you NOTHING about what can be expressed in language.
Your favourite nonsense quote about green thoughts sleeping furiously is
just as expressible as "Olcott is intelligent" or "the halting problem is
solvable".  Expressibility has no connection with truth or falsehood or
provability.

Which thing? If the meanings of the words are already known it does
not tell anything that is not obvious from those meanings.

"cats" ⊂ "animals"
"animals" ⊃ "cats"
Is to be construed as the first time that anyone
has every seen those finite strings.

We are defining the English meaning of words
to a computer program that starts as a completely
blank slate.

The end result of defining every "atomic fact"
of empirical general knowledge is that the computer
has complete general knowledge of the world.

The computer does not know that there is a real world.

As I have said many many dozens of times we encode
all of the "basic facts" of general knowledge both
empirical (the facts of the actual world) and analytical
knowledge into a finite set of axioms.

A computer can process those axioms as programmed but it cannot
relate them to the real world because it is not aware of the
real world.

All of mathematics and logic is disconnected from reality. Proof 
theoretic semantics is just a way to emphasize the disconnection.
The connection is made when one wants to apply logic or mathematics
to description of the real world or to solving real world problems.

If PTS is so convoluted, why should we take your word for it that you 
are actually interpreting it correctly?

very close to doesn't mean the same as. Why don't you actually quote the 
author in question so we can see for ourselves exactly how close to it 
your formulation is?

All of the author's use their own terms of the art
that define things differently than the other authors.
This may be the closest paper to my views.

The Definitional View of Atomic Systems in Proof-Theoretic Semantics
THOMAS PIECHA AND PETER SCHROEDER-HEISTER

https://bibliographie.uni-tuebingen.de/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10900/129466/Piecha_Schroeder-Heister_Logica-Yearbook-2016.pdf?sequence=1

-- 
Copyright 2026 Olcott

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

You cannot have any expressions in a language before you have a
language.

That is vanishingly unlikely to be true.  Look at any half decent English
dictionary, and it will contain lots of cycles.  Any non-empty finite
tree contains leaf nodes.  Either your "tree of semantic relations" is
infinite (hence useless) or it contains leaf nodes.  Feel free to give an
example of a leaf node in your purported tree.

As remarked already "grounded in the atomic base" is undefined and
meaningless.

It may be a directed acyclic graph instead of a tree.
Viral Pneumonia may requires multiple inheritance.

When you make sure to not know the terms of the art of
proof theoretic semantics it may seem that way.

Atomic Systems in Proof-Theoretic Semantics: Two Approaches
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-26506-3_2

Also an issue with PTS is that each author seems to use
their own terms-of-the-art that are equivalent to the
different terms that other PTS authors use.

I am working through this. It is tedious and time
consuming. It will probably best be presented as
the different ways that each author says the same
thing.

It is a verified fact that Gödel's completeness and incompleteness
theorems are inevitable consequences of Peano arithmetic.

Within the foundation of Truth Conditional Semantics
this is true. Within the foundation of strict Proof
Theoretic Semantics this is false.

Some PTS called base-extension semantics seem to think
that they can extend PA so that it is different and
not clearly acknowledge that they converted PA into PA+.
They would then say that G is grounded in PA when
they actually mean that G becomes grounded in the
modified PA+.

You have not understood Mikko's statement.  It is a VERIFIED FACT that
Gödel's completeness and incompleteness theorems are inevitable
consequences of Peano arithmetic.  You are clueless about Gödel's
theorems therefore are unqualified to make definitive comments about
them.

If you wish to demonstrate the highly unlikely proposition that PTS
somehow renders Gödel's theorems inapplicable, you must prove that.
Since you yourself are incapable of a mathematical proof, you must cite
some expert, somebody who understands both Gödel's therems and PTS, who
can explain these things.  You understand neither of them.

What is the nature of this alleged extension?  PA is a set of axioms from
which, amongst other things, Gödel's theorems can be proven.  You seem to
be asserting that for this to work, some additional axioms are needed.
What is the nature of these extra axioms?  Can you give an example of
one?

Within the foundation of Truth Conditional Semantics (TCS)
and not Within the foundation of strict Proof Theoretic (PTS)
Semantics. When G is unprovable in PA then in strict PTS
G is ungrounded in PA.

There is a sub field of PTS called Base-Extension Semantics
(B-eS) that is not strict PTS. (B-eS) extends PA to become
PA+ then G becomes grounded in PA+. This is the same thing
as saying that G is provable in meta-math thus making it
true in PA.

"Meta" math?

Is that the one where you hire a kid off the street
to promote a venue and he takes the fliers and
dumps them in the first trash-bin and walks off
with the money?

Sort of "Instant Audience" instead of "Artificial Intelligence"?
