And some of them can present evidence to support that claim. But
does proof theoretic semantcs mentioned above offer anything to
determine the correctness of that claim?

You have. Everything that can be proven can be proven by a proof by
contradiction, and often is, as that is the simpest way to prove
many theorems.

If you really had said nothing about proofs by contradiction nobody
would have no reason to say that you don't understand them, But you
have said so much about them or in respose to them or comments about
them that there is a motivation and a good basis to point out that
you don't understand them.

If you don't want that your defects are pointed out then don't
post the evidence.

Each of the cases of pathological self-reference (PSR)
shows up as infinitely recursive inference steps to
every proof theoretic semantics prover.

All of the "undecidable" instances that I have been
working on since 2004 have only involved PSR.

Confusing PSR for contradiction instead of a cycle
in the directed graph of the evaluation sequence is
the mistake of everyone else not my mistake.

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 would confuse it with a thin mint girl scout cookie if the rest of 
the people were doing it, not to mention jump off a cliff. You are the 
poster boy for mathematical band wagon riding.

Taking a best guess at what that phrase is meant to mean, it doesn't.  Or
at the very least, you have failed to meet your burden of proof that it
does.

We know that in any sufficiently powerful language (and the bar is not
high), there are statements which are "incomputable".  If you doubt this,
and still believe PTS gives a different result, please show some
mathematical proof which comes out differently between standard logic and
PTS, illustrating the essence of PTS which makes it so.

You have failed to sufficiently understand the gist of proof
theoretic semantics. This applies to your next statement as well.
You must have a 100% complete understanding of the gist of PTS
and then my ideas are proven coherent and true.

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).

No, I have understood it well enough.  It is an immature branch of
philosophy which gives mathematical results the same as standard logic
does.  It is _you_ who have failed sufficiently to understand PTS.
Otherwise you could answer questions about it.

That is a condescending lie.  Your ideas are very far from proven and
true, and I don't know anybody who isn't you who finds them coherent.

However Gödel's Theorem is proven and true.  If it contradicts your
ideas, then your ideas are invalid.  If you dispute that, then you must
show that an essential part of a proof of the theorem is somehow
mistaken.  This you cannot do, due to your not understanding Gödel's
Theorem or its proof, and your not understanding the notion of a
mathematical proof.

PTS has been around since the 1930's
Within proof theoretic semantics expressions ungrounded
in an atomic base cannot derive PTS meaning.

When the entire body of general knowledge expressed in
language is a finite list of atomic facts and relations
between these facts then truth becomes computable by
lookup table for this entire body.

If a claim is true on the basis on meaning expressed in language we
usually can easily determine its truth vaule wihout computational
tools. The truth values we want to know but are hard to determine
are of claims that are true on some other basis.

The system I propose would cut off the dangerous lies
of dangerous liars mid-sentence and be able to prove
that these are lies to every level of understanding

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 have not yet demonstrated any aboility to cut off a single
lie that would matter to typical people.

Nothing is going to work until we get everyone to
understand the difference between truth and lies

Thanks to Kristen Welker: (Meet the Press interview of Trump)
We now have two phrases that break propaganda

#WhatIsTheEvidenceOfThat
#ThatIsNotEvidence

KEEP HOUNDING THEM UNTIL THEY CRACK !!!

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).

One-two punch Destroys Liars
#WhatIsTheEvidence
#ThatIsNotEvidence
Around and around until Defeated

This worked on Trump. He was so defeated that he
quit the interview and got up and walked out.

Even people that don't know any better can be
taught the differnce between truth and lies
in that truth has evidence.

They will need to see lots of repetition where
every time a lie is challenged with the above
system it fails and the Liar gets up and walks
out in defeat.

Proof Theoretic Semantics is the basis that makes:
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.

A sememe is the smallest indivisible unit of meaning
in linguistics.

PTS forms a tree of knowledge such that every sememe
is connected to all of its semantic meaning entirely
via connections to other sememes.

I have previously referred to this as a semantic tautology.

Can you prove that that really is computable? Anyway, that something
is called "computable" does not tell how to compute it.

Is that structure really a tree?

Is that structure any different from the structure formed by
inferences and theorems?
