Don't use the word if you don't know what it means.

Does not semantically follow is exactly what I mean.
I just verified with Claude AI that
Q <is a necessary consequence of> P
does say exactly what I mean.

to be able to be encoded as this binary relation
P □ Q // Q is a necessary consequence of P

It was not clear that I was using the term isomorphic
correctly until I discussed this with Clause AI. I
did not know that they had to be the same type. In the
cases where I used the term isomorphic with further
details provided then the same type was decision problem
instance.

In mathematics, an isomorphism is a structure-preserving
mapping or morphism between two structures of the same
type that can be reversed by an inverse mapping.

That is quite far from the usual meaning of "reject".

Is this gibberish nonsense: "iho iu,78r GYU(UY OPJ OJOJ"
a member of the body of general knowledge that can be
expressed in language? Reject means not a member.

Not a memebr of what? You want to accept a circular defintion as
symtactically valid so it is a member of the language (which is
a set of finite strings). It is also a valid premmise in a proof
because it is a definition.

member of
the body of general knowledge
that can be expressed in language

This is reframing of the philosophical
The Analytic/Synthetic Distinction

That matters only if it is syntactically valid in that language.
Is it?

I use Montague Grammar fully integrating
semantics directly into the syntax making
unprovable in L simply untrue in L.

When L is the body of general knowledge that
can be expressed in language, then unprovable
in L means not a member of this body.

LLM systems have an easy time with this, it seems
that to everyone everywhere else integrating
semantics directly in syntax is not the way they
were taught thus seems to be nonsense.

LLM systems are not locked in to what they were
taught yet can extrapolate on the basis of what
they were taught.

That does not answer whether "iho iu,78r GYU(UY OPJ OJOJ" is
syntactically valid.

It *is* the basic infrastructure of my whole system
that you continue to fail to understand. No one
can possibly understand any idea until they first
understand the essential gist of the idea.

Hark, there is infrastructure. Is it cloud-based?

Multiple data centres, on several contintents!

Farms of GPUs churning away on the Liar Paradox ...

That's a stupid thing to stipulate; Bachelor(x) could refer to a
suite with zero bedrooms.

Is this how you plan to fix the accuracy issues in LLMs?

You fail to understand that I just refuted the most famous

Refuted the paper, like, as in, you were sitting on the crapper,
made your mark and put it behind you?

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning" computable.

This required establishing a new foundation
for correct reasoning.
