Syntax and semantics are more different than

It's exactly about "not.ultimately.untrue" that
describes how there are "inductive impasses"
that belie their finite inputs.
These are found in all the greatest seminal arguments
of objects of reason their dissonance yet harmony,
complementary duals, anything that's otherwise a
"paradox" of mathematical logic, which yet, is not.
The "pure theory" is, "all the things, theoretically".
Then in set theory there are ubiquitous ordinals,
for example, sharing the background, sharing the substrate,
of a continuum of objects, making the _bridges_,
the analytical _bridges_, the ponts.
Where it's so that induction is unbreakable,
whether what _holds_ it, _is_ it, is the most
usual sort of example of comprehension and
quantification together.
It's the most usual sort of example that
it _is not_, point to any argument about
Russell's "set" and any inductive set
which according to itself is the entire
world, or universe, of sets that don't
contain themselves, which you forget
is prohibited.
So, the "conscientious" bit, is, even having
to always take into account any exceptions to
the rulial what are so rulial themselves,
regular, regularity, because "truth is regular".
Not: "regular is truth".
It's not an unbreakable law that the Law of
Excluded Middle holds for all propositions,
because LEM or Tertium Non Datur TND, only
effect a reflection on a class of propositions,
not including those most pivotal and crucial,
of what would otherwise be logical antinomies,
which are not, because they are purely logical.
Of course any sort of gathering of propositions
is its own little pure logic itself, yet, we're
interested here in the foundations and altogether,
besides.
You speak of the meta-theory, and that there is one,
and we might call it pure logic, and it exists,
and we attain to it, because we're conscientious,
and, altogether thorough, as diligently as we can be,
mathematicians qua logicians qua theoreticians.
