then by so doing, reached obvious falsehoods.
You've received vast numbers of counter arguments which show that
you cannot be right, rather than just assume it.
Once someone discovers you are wrong, and that you produce no
new ideas or corrections, you just stay wrong.
Until you produce something fresh, you do not deserve a fresh assumption
that you might be right; that path is worn out.
nature of “true on the basis of meaning”. The traditional
analytic / synthetic distinction is unequivocally demarcated into:
(a) True on the basis of meaning fully expressed as
relations between finite strings.
(b) True that can only be verified by sense data from the
sense organs.
Any system of reasoning that begins with a consistent set
of stipulated truths and only applies the truth preserving
operation of semantic logical entailment to this finite
set of basic facts inherently derives a truth predicate
that works consistently and correctly for this entire body
of knowledge that can be expressed in language.
“The halting problem, as classically formulated,
relies on an inferential step that is not justified
by a continuous chain of semantic entailment from
its initial stipulations.”
...
"The halting problem’s definition contains a break
in the chain of semantic entailment; it asserts
totality over a domain that its own semantics cannot
support."
