The truth about every expression of language that can be known

that a lack of connection simply means untrue.

 Does that really mean something? If the significance of the lack of
connection is restricted to sentences where the connection exists
then it seems that you are talking about nothing.

I had to redefine the analytic side of the analytic/synthetic
distinction because Quine convinced most everyone that this
distinction does not exist.
Every expression x of (formal or natural) language L that
can be connected to the its semantic meaning in L by a
sequence of truth preserving operations is true in L.
The same thing applies to ~x making x false in L.
When x and ~x are both unprovable in L then x is not a
truth-bearer in L.
