The only drawback is that the theorem is somewhat more complicated
than Goldbach's conjecture -- not a lot, but a bit.

This makes True(L,x) computable and definable.

The problem is that if you try to redefine the foundation, you need to build the whole building all over again, but you just don't understand what you need to do that.

When we understand that True(L,x) means that there is a finite
sequence of truth preserving operations in L from the semantic
meaning of x to x in L, then mathematical incompleteness is abolished.

Except you just defined that this isn't true, as you admit that the Goldbach conjecgture COULD be an analytic truth even if it doesn't have a finte sequence of truth perserving operations,

I redefined analytic truth to account for that. Things

Note, Godel's G can't be put into that category, as it is KNOWN to be true in PA, because of a proof in MM

When you understand that true requires a sequence of

But they DO exist in PA, I guess you just don't understand how math works.

Check the number 1 to see if it satisfies the PRR. Answer = No.
Check the number 2 to see if it satisfies the PRR. Answer = No.

keep repeating counting up through all the Natural Numbers.
 From the trick in MM, we can see that the math in PA will say no to all of them.

Thus, after an infinite number of steps of truth preserving operations, we reach the conclusion that NO natural numbers actually exist that meet that PRR, just like G claimed, so it is correct.

 Nope, lack of a proof means unknown, as you have agreed.

If an infinite number of steps fail to show that G is
provable in PA then G is untrue in PA.

After all, you admitted that if the Goldbach conjecture would be an Analytic TRUTH if it was only established by an infinite sequence of truth preserving operations.
 

If an infinite number of steps do show that Goldbach is
provable in PA then Goldbach is true in PA.

Since you don't know the meaning of the words, you just prove yourself unqualified to talk about such things.
 

Any proof requiring an infinite number of steps never resolved
to a truth value thus its truth value remains unknown.
An alternative finite proof in MM only shows that the expression
is true in MM.
Truthmakers cannot cross system boundaries. --
