The semantic property is the behavior that the finite
string specifies. It is common knowledge across all
of proof theoretic semantics that proofs of inputs must
be finite or input is invalid.

There is a correct answer to every question. If the question is
incorrect a correct answer says that the qestion is incorrect
and preferably indicates what is incorrect in the question,
perhaps proposing a correction. Sometimes it is useful to guess
the intended question and to answer that.

WHAT TIME IS IT (YES OR NO) ???

Forced choice. The answer is restricted to YES/NO and must
also be time of day.

Type mismatch error.

The universal truth predicate simply rejects as BAD INPUT.

Not allowed. Boolean functions are restricted to Boolean answers.

How do you get a Boolean function Turing Machine

"Neither" is a correct answer, and so is "Why do you ask?". To point
out that the question is badly formed is correct, too. If you are
designing a device that should answer questions then the answer
"Error: invalid user" could be correct.

Depends on how it is forced. The question does not force anything.
With sufficient forcing the correctness is not relevant.

Perhaps with more details.

A predicate cannot reject "as" anything. Its range is restricted to
{false, true}.

That does not restrict verbal answers to verbal questions.

Usually the word "decider" means a Turing machine that always halts
and accepts if the input string is in the set of aceptable strings.
If the specification specifies anything else then the specified
machine is not a decider.

If you want a Turing machine that gives more informatino than just
one bit you may aither have multiple accept states or reject states
or both, or you can put output information to the tape, or use the
final position of the tape head, or you can use any combination of
these.

For the situation asked about you could use one reject state
for valid non-halting input and another for erroneous input (or
several others for different kinds of input error).

You are not going to understand what the correct answer is
outside of the paradigm of proof theoretic semantics.

The notion that the body of knowledge expressed as
language is a set of relations between finite strings
fits perfectly within the PTS foundation.

Undecidability is the lack of coherent relations between
a finite set of finite strings.

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.

This required establishing a new foundation

Of course I do: a correct answer is an answer that I reagard as correct.
I needn't care ahat the correct answeer is inside of the paradigm of
proof theoretic semantics.

Irrelevant to your quesstion. And the notion does not fit to the usual
understanding of "the body of knowledge" is. And the notion does not
help people to satisfy their needs.

> Undecidability is the lack of coherent relations between

An undecidability is a statement about relations between finte strings.
Some undecidabilities can be proven, some others disproven, but
some are undecidable.

The amazing thing about Olcott, and his genius, is the number of levels
of perspectives for the /meaning/ of his assertions and the number of
times that, for each of them, it is true while being false for the
others, and yet for each of the others it is true while being false for
the rest and the previous!

I think Olcott is awesome.

I am assuming that this is sarcasm, none-the-less
I do greatly respect you.

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).

So that would be a total of one person that feels that way
out of many hundreds across dozens of forums. Eric Hehner PhD
and I also hold very similar views on the Halting Problem.

That's the wrong question word when the answer is "what time",
the "when" interrogative only has temporal-type relations,
not Boolean relations, except for concurrence in times,
like "it'll happen when it happens".

Interrogatives are also indicators, adverbial after copulas.

The question: "What time is it (yes or no)?"
is an incorrect question because it is a type
mismatch error.

It turns out that all of undecidability has only
been a misconception. It has only ever actually been:
(a) Incorrect questions.
(b) Outside of the body of knowledge.

but we know DD halts so it's obliviously not "outside the body of
