    This view of a logic is extremply powerful.
    For example we can already define a property
    of a logic. For example we could say a logic

    L is consistent, if it doesn't explode, i.e.
    if it doesn't prove anything, i.e. if there
    exists a sentences with is not in the logic:

    L consistent :<=> exists A (A e S & ~(A e L))

    Or take page 18 of the BLACK BOOK by
    Chagrov & Zakharyaschev, Modal Logic - 1997 https://global.oup.com/academic/product/modal-logic-9780198537793

    L has disjunction property :<=>
    (A v B e L <=> A e L v B e L)

    Theorem: Classical logic does not have disjunction property

    Proof: Classical logic has LEM, i.e. p v ~p e L,
    but it is neither the case p e L nor ~p e L.

    Q.E.D.

    Actually modern logic does it much simpler,

    a "True" and "L" does, in that you repeat

    nonsense like for example:

    A truth maker is any sequence of truth preserving operations
    that links an expression x of language L to its semantic meaning
    in language L. The lack of such a connection in L to x or ~x
    means that x is not a truth-bearer in L.

    Its much much easier to define a "logic".
    You just take a language of sentences S.
    And define a "logic" L as a subset of S.

    You can imagine that L was defined as follows:

    L := { A e S | True(L, A) }

    But this is not necessarely the case how L is
    conceived, or how L comes into being.

    So a logic L is just a set of sentences. You
    don't need the notion truth maker or truth bearer
    at all, all you need to say you have some L ⊆ S.

    You can then study such L's. For example:
    - classical logic
    - intuitionistic logic
    - etc..

    But when we talk about "decidability" this is actually
    only a misnomer for self-contradictory.

    But it isn't, and you only think that because you don't understand it.


    Actually modern logic does it much simpler,
    you don't need to prescribe or explain what
    a "True" and "L" does, in that you repeat


    Tarski "proved" that True(L,x) cannot be consistently defined
    because he was simply too stupid to know that the Liar Paradox
    is not a truth bearer. Most of the greatest experts in this
    field are still too stupid.

    No, he PROVED that the grammer of the system allowed the formation of
    the sentence.

    The "True" predicate doesn't need the expression to be a truth bearer,
    just and expression that fits the grammer of the language.

    The Truth predicate of a non-truth bearing statement is just false,
    which doesn't imply the sententence itself is false.


    nonsense like for example:

    A truth maker is any sequence of truth preserving operations
    that links an expression x of language L to its semantic meaning
    in language L. The lack of such a connection in L to x or ~x
    means that x is not a truth-bearer in L.

    Its much much easier to define a "logic".
    You just take a language of sentences S.
    And define a "logic" L as a subset of S.


    No we specify the whole foundation of every True(L,x)
    that includes logic then we can make concrete examples
    that are simple enough that ordinary people can understand
    the mathematical incompleteness is nonsense.

    And you just shows that your logic system doesn't meet the basic
    requirements of the logic system.


    "A fish" can never be proven or refuted because it is
    not a declarative sentence.

    And thus True(L, "a fish") will be false, assuming "a fish" is a
    sentence that fits the grammer of L, which it very well might not.

    That seems to be part of your problem, the only "Languge" you seem to understand are the natural ones, not that actually FORMAL language of logic.


    "What time is it?" can never be proven or refuted
    because it is not a declarative sentence.

    "This sentence is not true" can never be proven or
    refuted because it is not a semantically correct
    declarative sentence.

    And thus, if a grammatically correct sentence in the language, the
    predicate True(L, "This sentence is not true") will be false.



    You can imagine that L was defined as follows:

    L := { A e S | True(L, A) }

    But this is not necessarely the case how L is
    conceived, or how L comes into being.


    I have no idea what the Hell A e S means.
    If you mean A ∈ S then just say that.

    So a logic L is just a set of sentences. You
    don't need the notion truth maker or truth bearer
    at all, all you need to say you have some L ⊆ S.


    The foundation of analytic truth is a set of sentences
    that have been stipulated to have the semantic property
    of Boolean true. Care are animals even if physical reality
    never existed.

    Right, and EVERYTHING that can be derived from those sentences in the
    sysstem, even if by an INFINITE chain of correct deducgtions


    You can then study such L's. For example:
    - classical logic
    - intuitionistic logic
    - etc..


    I don't go through all that convoluted mess.
    I start at the top of the hierarchy.

    True(L,x) means x has been stipulated to be true or x
    is derived by applying truth preserving operations to
    stipulated truths.

    Right, and a possibly infinite set of them.

    And Tarski shows that if a True predicate exists, it makes the system inconsistant, and thus with the requriement at the beginning that the
    system is consistant, it shows that a True predicate that meets the requirements can not exist.

    Most of the fallacies arise, since originally
    logic was only made for the every day finite.
    Applying it to the infinite automatically gets

    you into muddy waters. Take sentence such as

    Goldbach's conjecture
    every even natural number greater than 2 is
    the sum of two prime numbers

    It contains a forall quantifier. And its an
    infinite forall quantifier. Its a not a finite
    quantifier such as "all my kitchen utils",

    its an infinite quantifier "every even natural
    number". In the intented model of arithmetic
    the above sentence has a truth value.

    By classical logic we should even have, this
    is a form of LEM, namely:

    ∀x G(x) v ∃x ~G(x)

    Without knowning which one of the sides is
    true, and without knowing whether we look at
    the intented model of arithmetic or not.

    Such a generalization is for example
    rejected in intuitionistic logic, which tries
    to regain some of the "finite" character of logic.

    But its even not necessary to follow such
    a strict program to regain the "finite"
    character of logic. Even if we stick to

    classical logic, Gödels incompleteness
    theorem shows that this classical logic
    stil has some "finite" limitations,

    in that a axiomatization of arithmetic,
    will still not fully capture the intended

    will necessarily have at least one sentences
    which is not truth bearing in Olcotts words:

    You are trying to get away with the ridiculously stupid assertion
    that every syntactically correct expression is a semantically
    correct declarative sentence.
    Is the sentence: "What time is it?" true or false?

    But that sentence isn't syntactically a stateement, but a question. Thus
    not even syntactically request it be assigned a truth value.

    What is 3 + 4? doesn't have a truth value, because it is asking a question.

    3 + 4 = 7 has a truth value, as does 2 + 3 = 6.

    SO, YOU seem to have fallen off you subject.

    You are just proving that you just don't understand the grammar of
    English, that you have been using all your life, why should be accept
    that you understand how Grammars work in Formal Systems, which you have
