No one ever understands that my mathematical formal

No matter what anyone says it is a fact that that is my intention.

A semantic tautology is a self-evident truth expressed
in language.

In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident
proposition is a proposition that is known to be true
by understanding its meaning without proof

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

This required establishing a new foundation
for correct reasoning.
