False, as that is exactly the method uses by the halting problem proof, 
Godel's proof, and Tarski's proof, each of which you've been attempting

Hard constructivists don't even _accept_ proof-by-contradiction.


Somehow then "structural realists" and "realist structuralists"
may also be "hard constructivists" while "extreme rationalists".


Since "quasi-modal material implication" has "see rule 1: last wins",
it contradicts itself.


The contrapositive is still a thing, about direct implication,
yet it's reversible and results writing itself,
not irreversible and resuling erasing itself.

I am only taking about the way that
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
has always actually worked since the first caveman
made his first distinctive grunt.

By compartmentalizing my ideas into the categories
that you disagree with you are blinding yourself.

Proof Theoretic Semantics halt prover HHH correctly determines
that its input DD is ungrounded in its atomic base according
to the operational semantics of the C programming language.

HHH never sees any contradiction it only sees that its proof
remains stuck in recursion.

The above is unclear, as "HHH" and "DD" could refer to:

- An algorithm, i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of instructions that 
always produces the same output for a given input.
- A C function which has a specific name and may contain any arbitrary 
instructions
- A finite string implemented as a 32-bit function pointer.

So please restate the above, qualifying whether each instance of "DD" 
and "HHH" used in a sentence refers to an algorithm, a C function, or a 
finite string.

Algorithm HHH, C function HHH, or finite string HHH?

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).

And is that "HHH" and "DD" (each time you use them in the above 
sentence) an algorithm, a C function, or a finite string?

When used by Olcott it refers to the C function Olcott wrote and
put to GitHub long before he fond out that there is cometning
called "proof theoretic semantics". Or at least Olcott has said
that he always means that.

That only means that your DD is not a strictly confoming C program.

The exact operational semantics of C conclusively
prove that the input DD to HHH is ungrounded in
these operational semantics because this input
specifies non-terminating recursive simulation
to HHH.

To sum this up PTS would have HHH reject DDD.

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).

Because DD is not strictly conforming the exact operational semantics
do not fully specify the behaviour of DD. In order to prove that DD
halts you also need additional operational spemantics provided by the
C implementation you have used. When DD iss executed in that environment
it halts, which is sufficient to prove that in that environment DD
halts. In some other environment its execution might be aborted or it
could be rejected by the compiler.

Proof Theoretic Semantics provides the correct way
to handle pathological self-reference (PSR).

This would be dead obvious if you were not totally
clueless about Prolog.

% This sentence is not true.
?- LP = not(true(LP)).
LP = not(true(LP)).
?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
false.

This has been completely rewritten just now.

Just ignoring "pathological self-reference" doesn't make it
go away, and anybody can declare the "facts" about it.

It seems a cloak of the empirical fallacy masquerading as
the triumph of reason, then axiomatizing itself complete
with what would be false-axioms, a futile, intransigent
effort doomed to be outmoded and simply inductive ignorance
of the not-quite-invincible sort.

As a satire it's more pathetic than profound.



Instead, what reasoners find is the great Renaissance (idealism)
and Enlightenment (rationalism) as an "extreme rationalism" account,
that DesCartes and Leibnitz, and Plato and Kant, can both be proud,
bring back together the analytical tradition and the idealistic
tradition as for a dually-self-infraconsistent paraconsistent-dialetheic
ur-theory that provides both the Euclidean and Archimedean (geometry and
arithmetic) and super-Euclidean and super-Archimedean
(with infinity and the original), making it so that the Pythagorean
(amost-all rational) and Cantorian (almost-all transcendental) are
made whole in a paleo-classical post-modern account with the
strong mathematical platonism with the perfect circles and straight
lines and the strengthened (instead of weak) logicist positivism
in accounts of heno-theories and a mono-heno-theory, that
gives modal, temporal, relevance logic as a "the logic",
and makes possible the overall conscientious and thorough efforts
of the conscientious logician, mathematician, statistician, scientist,
and physicist, among large, competent, conscientious, co-operative
reasoners.

In other words you are clueless about Prolog.
Find out what the above Prolog expression means
making sure that you find out that it is not
simply ignoring PSR and then only after that
get back to me

Don't take the criticism particularly personally -
it's an endemic failure of 20'th century logic
since Compte and Boole and Russell and Carnap,
and while Derrida makes a valiant reading of Husserl's
Meditations on why geometry is real, and not all 20'th
century philosophers and logicians are inconstant
anti-idealist hypocrites, with for example Collingwood
and Winston H.F. Barnes and A.C. Ewing, and of course
the P.F. Strawson sometimes and one of the Lewis',
and for example Anderson with modal temporal relevance logic,
and about Corcoran with axiomless natural deduction and
Huntington's greater disambiguating postulates, and for example
with Hilbert as Bernays notes about a postulate of continuity,
and where most any mathematician or physicist is at least
sometimes declaredly a mathematical platonist like Goedel
and Einstein and even Russell submits and as Quine says,
in their apologetics, then having a true theory with the
truth in it and about the truth and the mathematical truth,
it's not very difficult to repair it, and it results as
with a theory that's strong enough for arithmetic and
geometry, including with infinity and continuity,
and also resistant to meddling,
since Aristotle (with Chrysippus) won't be made a fool.

If others did not reject mine out-of-hand
without review they could understand that
it is final. It is very similar to Kripke's
view in that we both determine that the Liar
Paradox is ungrounded.
https://www.impan.pl/~kz/truthseminar/Kripke_Outline.pdf

My view is simpler in that it correctly determines
that the Liar Paradox is ungrounded in a proof theoretic
atomic base with a tiny snippet of Prolog.

Even those who think your resolution is the best there can be should
understand that there are others who don't shate that opinion.

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).
