When we ask the question: What is a truthmaker?
The generic answer is whatever makes an expression of language true <is>
its truthmaker.
If of everything there is nothing that makes expression of language X
true then X is untrue.
The above establishes a key basis of ALL truth, truth within formal
systems is a tiny subset of this.
