    No, it doesn't. An algrithm or at least a proof of existence of an

    When the idea that I presented is fully understood
    it abolishes the whole notion of undecidability.

    My above idea is epistemological. Simply ignoring
    epistemology does not make it go away.


    Excpet that it is BAD epistemology, and that you don't understand the issue.

    The key is that DECIDABILITY is about being able to from a FINITE set of operations that reaaches a decision in a FINITE amount of time.

    Truth, can be established by an INFINITE chain of truth preserving
    operations, and thus that chain is not a proof, and does not establish deciability.

    What Godel shows, is that for sufficiently powerful logic systems, like
    ones that support the full mathematics of Natural Numbers, we can create
    a statement whose truth *IS* established, in the system, by such an
    infinite chain of truth preserving operations, but for which, no FINITE
    proof can be formed, and thus the truth is unprovable.

    Similarly, Turing showed that for machines that follow the rules of
    Turing Machines, we can define a problem, the question of whether a
    given program/data combination will reach a final state in finite time,
    that no Turing Machine can correctly determine for all inputs, by
    creating an input (from the decider making the claim) that it will
    answer incorrectly.

    Thus, the only way you can abolish undeciability or incompleteness is to
    limit you ability to create system powerful enough to support those proofs.

    Part of the problem is "True by the meaning of the words" doesn't get
    you very far, it basically gets you the axioms of a system. You can't
    prove things like the Pythagorean Theorem by "meaning of the words", but
    only by a series of logical steps based on the rules of that system.
    Once the system has enough power to generate infinite paths, we hit the
    limit of what can be known being less than what is true.

    Often your intended compositional meanings seem to differ from the

    As with all math and logic we have expressions of language

    (through a sequence of true preserving operations) in system
    F to its semantic meanings expressed in language L of F
    x is simply untrue in F.

    No, it does not. In every consisten system has some x that is
    untrue in the above sense. That does not make the negation of
    x true in the same sense. Thus there can be a sentence that
    is untrue (in the above sense) and is the negation of an untrue
    sentence (in the above sense). Existence of such sentences makes
    the notion of undecidability meaningful and useful. A particular
    example of the usefulness is that it makes easier to ask about
    any particular F whether there are undecidable sentences.

    Whether "undecidable" is a good vernacular term for the notion
    is another problem.

    It looks like you only want to dodge the actual
    topic with any distraction that you can find.

    Expressions of language that are {true on the basis of
    their meaning expressed in this same language} defines
    analytic(Olcott) that overcomes any objections that
    anyone can possibly have about the analytic/synthetic
    distinction.

    analytic(Olcott) that overcomes any objections that
    anyone can possibly have about the analytic/synthetic
    distinction.

    This makes all Analytic(Olcott) truth computable or the
    expression is simply untrue because it lacks a truthmaker.

    There is either a sequence of truth preserving operations from
    the set of expressions stipulated to be true (AKA the verbal
    model of the actual world) to x or x is simply untrue. This is
    how the Liar Paradox is best refuted.

    Nice to see that you con't disagree.


    When the idea that I presented is fully understood
    it abolishes the whole notion of undecidability.

    If you can't prove atl least that you have an interesting idea
    nobody is going to stody it enough to understood.

    In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident proposition
    is a proposition that is known to be true by understanding its meaning
    without proof https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evidence

    Self-evident propositions are uninteresting.


    *This abolishes the notion of undecidability*
    As with all math and logic we have expressions of language
    that are true on the basis of their meaning expressed
    in this same language. Unless expression x has a connection
    (through a sequence of true preserving operations) in system
    F to its semantic meanings expressed in language L of F
    x is simply untrue in F.

    But you clearly don't understand the meaning of "undecidability", so
    using the wrong definition of it proves nothing.

    Note, by your definition, you accept that Godel's G, it True in PA, as
    its expression is connected through an INFINITE sequence of truth
    preserving operations to the axioms of PA, which are true by the meaning
    of the words.

    Also, by your definition, you accept that Gode;'s G is NOT "provable" in
    PA, as it can be shown that there is no FINITE sequence of truth
    preserving operations to the aximos of PA.

    Thus, by the definition of "Incompleteness", being that the system has
    at least one statement that it True in it, but can not be proven by it.

    A statement is undecidable if we can not prove it to be true or false IN
    THAT SYSTEM, but it IS true or false in that system. Since G can be
    shown to be True in PA, because there IS an infinite sequence of steps
    in PA that establish it, and this is provable in MM to be true, and we
    can also show (with a proof in MM) that no finite sequence to prove it
    exists in PA, or disprove it in PA (since you can not disprove a true
    statement without making the system inconsistant), it says that G is an "undecidable" problem in PA, and thus PA is incomplete.

    Your failure to understand just shows your utter ignorance of the subject.


    Thus understanding the compositional meaning of my words is
    complete proof that they are true.

    Often your intended compositional meanings seem to differ from the
    real compositional meanings as defined by dictionaries, grammar
    books, and native speakers' intuitions.

    Epistemology is not relevant to the clarity communication. Grammar
    of Common Language, including compositional semantics, is.


    This is how compositional semantics is formalized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)


    Which says nothing to support your claim. The statement of G is
    obvioulsy within the "domain of Discourse of PA. Thus Ontology doesn't
    reject the statement from PA, it will just recognize that not all
    statements in a domain are knowable.

    Not at all. I am doing the same sort thing that ZFC

    If you want to do that, you need to start at the basics are totally
    reformulate logic.

    But, I suspect you don't have the needed skills for that.

    Note, ZFC didn't just make a few edge changes to set theory, but started
    with a new set of axioms to build set theory on (yes, they used some
    parts of the original as a basis, but they started with a brand new
    system), and then showed what could be done with it.

    So, I suspect of that is what you want to be doing, you better get
    cracking at it, and stop making your lies about halting, as that is the
    wrong end of the stick.

    ZFC didn't need to do that. All they had to do is
    redefine the notion of a set so that it was no longer
    incoherent.


    I guess you haven't read the papers of Zermelo and Fraenkel. They
    created a new definition of what a set was, and then showed what that
    implies, since by changing the definitions, all the old work of set
    theory has to be thrown out, and then we see what can be established.

    Yes, a lot of the old rules still applied, as the change wasn't that
    big, but it had to be established that they DID still apply.

    Zermelo and Fraenkel provided the base ground work of figuring out the
    rules (and for ZFC added the axiom of Choice) and what that largely
    applied, and the field accepted it as the new basis for what "Set
    Theory" would be called.

    Trying to just create the rules without showing how those rules work is
    likely to just get you scooped by someone willing to do the work (if
    they do end up making a useful system). And, if they need some tweaking
    to make them work, you might not even get a foot-note in history.

    It seems your problem here is you just don't understand the details
    needed to work at this level, and from what I see, you seem incapable of actually working at that level of detail.

    F to its semantic meanings expressed in language L of F
    x is simply untrue in F.

    But you clearly don't understand the meaning of "undecidability"

    Not at all. I am doing the same sort thing that ZFC
    did to conquer Russell's Paradox.



    If you want to do that, you need to start at the basics are totally
    reformulate logic.


    ZFC didn't need to do that. All they had to do is
    redefine the notion of a set so that it was no longer
    incoherent.


    I guess you haven't read the papers of Zermelo and Fraenkel. They
    created a new definition of what a set was, and then showed what that
    implies, since by changing the definitions, all the old work of set
    theory has to be thrown out, and then we see what can be established.


    None of this is changing any more rules. All
    of these are the effects of the change of the
    definition of a set.


    No, they defined not only what WAS a set, but what you could do as basic operations ON a set.

    Axiom of extensibility: the definition of sets being equal, that ZFC is
    built on first-order logic.

    Axion of regularity/Foundation: This is the rule that a set can not be a
    member of itself, and that we can count the members of a set.

    Axiom Schema of Specification: We can build a sub-set from another set
    and a set of conditions. (Which implies the existance of the empty set)

    Axiom of Pairing: Given two sets, we can make a set that contains the
    two sets.

    Axiom of Union: Given two (or more) sets, we can make a set of the
    elements that exist in any of the sets.

    Axiom schema of Replacement: We can build a set from another set and a
    mapping function

    Axiom of Infiity: We can make a set with a countable infinite number of members.

    Axiom of Power Set: There exist a set that contains every subset of
    another set.

    To move from ZF to ZFC we add:
    Axiom of Choice/Well Ordering:


    So, they did more that just "Define what a set is"

    My redefinition of formal system does this exact same

    {logical operation} to {truth preserving operation}.
    Other than that the only thing that is changed is
    the notion of {formal system}. I don't even change
    this very much.


    Then where is your paper showing what comes out of your ideas?

    So, you change the term, and thus EMPTY the system of proved results.

    What have you done to refill it?

    Sounds like you have an architectural sketch of a building, and are
    asking people to buy units and move in.

    Nope, doesn't work that way, you need to build the system first, not
    just have a rough sketch of what you think it should look like.

    Papers published with peer-review.

    If that was so "nothing", why haven't you done the same with your new
    idea about logic?

    Are you so afraid that peer-review will utterly demolish your ideas?

    Is the issue that you are mentally INCAPABLE of handling this task a factor?

    The fact that to do that analysis means you have to understand how logic actually works a factor?

    That just tryng to do it will show how utterly ignorant you are of what
    you are talking about a factor?

    Sorry, you are just showing your utter stupidity.

    Then where is your paper showing what comes out of your ideas?


    No sentence writing a paper when everyone assumes
    that all of the details are wrong before I ever say them.

    The problem is you have been trying to argue in an existing system,
    where right and wrong HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED, and claiming things that are
    just wrong by the rules of that system.

    Create you own system, and be clear you are doing so, and clearly
    specify the rules of the system, and no one CAN say your defined rules
    are "wrong", as you defined the rules of the system.

    At worse, people can use the rules that you defined to show that your
    system leads to contradictions, and thus isn't useful.

    But, if you do this, then YOU need to do the work to show your system is useful, and better than the existing one.

    That existing set theory was shown to have a fundamental problem made it
    easier for Z/F to show the value of a WORKING set theory.

    In your case, you may need to first show the actual problem with the
    existing Computation Theory that actually matters to people. The fact
    that some problems are non-computable isn't considered an issue, or the
    fact that logic system are incomplete because some truths are unprovable.

    People gladly give up those properties for system that can handle the
    higher power logic that generates those "problems".


    So, you change the term, and thus EMPTY the system of proved results.

    What have you done to refill it?

    Sounds like you have an architectural sketch of a building, and are
    asking people to buy units and move in.

    Nope, doesn't work that way, you need to build the system first, not

    Just TRY to use that one change without everything else that was derived

    But then, you don't seem to understand that you should only use PROVEN statements to make you claims, and not just things that "seem" correct,
    because you just don't understand how logic works.

    We can not use the "ZFC" set theory from *JUST* the definition, but

    The root cause of all of the changes is the redefinition
    of what a set is. Likewise with my own redefinition of a
    formal system by simply defining the details of True(L,x).

    Once I specify the architecture others can fill in the details.


    Yes, the ROOT was that change, but you don't understand that if they
    JUST did that root, and not the other work, Set theory would not have
    been "fixed", as it still wouldn't have been usable.

    SOMEONE would have needed to have done the subsequent work to show how
    to use them, and what you are allowed to do.

    Think what Geometery would be like if all we could refer to were the raw
    5 basic principles for EVERY proof. It would be unworkable.

    To develop a usable system, you need to FIRST define the full set of assumptions you plan to build the system on, not just what "new" thing
    you want in the system, but the FULL set of base principles that the
    system will be based on.

    THEN someone needs to work with these basic principles, and build up a
    workable toolbox of theory that can be derived from them to make a
    workable system.

    Until you fully define the first, your system just can't be used.
    Until you do the second, the system will be virtually unusable.

    My guess is that since it seems you don't understand what it means to
    prove something, this is all just over your head, as if you don't need
    to actually formally prove claims, and that seems to be the sort of
    philosophy you seem to come out of, where you ARGUE over things, and not
    PROVE statements. That is NOT the way of Formal Logic, which seems to be
    a foreign term to you, but you still try to make claims about it.

    Of course, since you don't unstand that nature of truth, you don'e
    understand what truth or meaning actually means.

    Your whole logic seems to be built on the idea that truth is "flexable'
    and can be controrted to what you want it to mean.

    Of course, all that does is abolish the idea of truth, and thus it is
    correct to deny the results of the election or that climate change is a
    real phenomenon.

    Sorry, you are just proving your stupidity, and that your stupidity
    doesn't understand how stupid it is, which is the worse kind of stupid.

    Defining that no set can be a member of itself would seem
    to do the trick.



    But usable, until integrated into a Formal Logic system.

    After all, logic rules don't "interrupt" other logic and say you can't
    do this step that other rules allow you to do. ALL logic rules are just permissive steps saying what you can do when you use them. In fact, if
    one set of rules allow you to do something, and another rule tries to
    say you can't, all that has done is make you system inconsistant.

    THe fact that Naive Set Theory had a number of rules that allowed you to construct such a set, means you need to remove those, and trace back to
    what used them and what caused them.

    This is why you need to create a brand new Formal System, so you can
    start with the needed clean state.

    Now, any results proven from just axioms you kept from the previous
    system will still be true and are thus quickly shown. But you can't just
    take an "random" theory from Naive Set Theory and use it until you can
    show that its proof path still holds, and wasn't based on something you
    changed in a way that makes it no longer true.


    But, as I have pointed out, your lack of understanding about what a
    Formal Proof is in a Formal Logic System seems to mean you just don't understand any of this, and you just keep on demonstrating how ignorant
    you are of that fact.

    You need to CHANGE all the axioms that enabled that set to be created,
    and that invalidates EVERY theory that used those axioms until you can
    prove that they still hold with the new definition.

    The root cause of all of the changes is the redefinition

    Once I specify the architecture others can fill in the details.


    Yes, the ROOT was that change, but you don't understand that if
    they JUST did that root, and not the other work, Set theory would
    not have been "fixed", as it still wouldn't have been usable.


    Defining that no set can be a member of itself would seem
    to do the trick.



    But usable, until integrated into a Formal Logic system.


    No. Just tacking it on at the end of set theory gets rid of RP.


    Nope, because you can just ignore any axiom you don't want to use.


    It is part of the definition of a set thus cannot be correctly
    ignored.


    In other words, you are just admitting you don't understand how logic
    works.

    If you CHANGE an existing axiom, everything that depended on that axiom
    needs to be re-verified.

    If you ADD a new axiom, it doesn't affect ANY argument that doesn't try
    to use it, and thus doesn't affect Russel's Paradox.

    OK.

    I add the definition for the True(L, x) predicate
    and every instance of the notion of True changes
    in every formal mathematical logic system.


    But either that changes what that instance means, and perhaps whether
    that statement was true or statements that derives for it might change
    if they are true or not,

    or, your change does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to logic.

    Sorry, you can't just "edit" the system.

    It seems you are just too ignorant of what you are talking about to
    undetstand what it does,

    But either that changes what that instance means,

    It does not go on and in any circle endlessly redefining itself.

    Nope. You can say for YOUR usage, what you mean by True(L,x). You can't
    force others to use that, or reinterprete what others have said or
    proven based on you stipulation, in fact, by stipulating that
    definition, anythig that uses any other definition of it becomes out of
    bounds for your argument.


    Everything in logic the depended on some notion of True is
    changed. Any logic operations that were not truth preserving
    are discarded. The notion of valid inference is also changed
    because it was not truth preserving.


    And needs to be reproved to see if it is still true.


    When a conclusion is not a necessary consequence of all of its
    premises then the argument is invalid.


    Right, so YOUR argument here is invalid.

    You can't just change the meaning of a word in s formal system and not
    reverify it.

    So, you can stipulate your new definition, and then not know what
    statements that use that new definition are in fact, still true, until
    you reverify them.

    This is why to use your new definition, you really need to FORMALLY
    rederive all the logic of the system. The fact you don't understand this
    pretty much says you don't have the ability to do it, so you idea is
    really dead from the start.

    OK.

    I add the definition for the True(L, x) predicate
    and every instance of the notion of True changes
    in every formal mathematical logic system.


    But either that changes what that instance means,

    When I stipulate what True(L,x) means then that is done.
    It does not go on and in any circle endlessly redefining itself.

    Nope. You can say for YOUR usage, what you mean by True(L,x). You
    can't force others to use that,

    Likewise ZFC is a mere opinion that most everyone chooses to ignore.

    No, it isn't an "opinion", it is a set of definitions, and the logic
    system that comes out of them.

    People are of course allowed to choose which ever set theory they want
    to use, but if they choose to use Naive Set Theory, they have the
    problem that it is known to be inconsistant, and thus any "proof" they
    build is suspect.

    They can also shoose some other Set theory Theory, maybe even just ZF,
    or to one of the derived theorys like Morse-Kelly, or to something
    different like one of the New Foundations Systems. The key is you tend
    to need to specify if you differ from ZFC which is generally considered
    the default.

    You seem to be having trouble with the words you are using.


    or reinterprete what others have said or proven based on you
    stipulation, in fact, by stipulating that definition, anythig that
    uses any other definition of it becomes out of bounds for your argument.


    Everything in logic the depended on some notion of True is
    changed. Any logic operations that were not truth preserving
    are discarded. The notion of valid inference is also changed
    because it was not truth preserving.


    And needs to be reproved to see if it is still true.


    When a conclusion is not a necessary consequence of all of its
    premises then the argument is invalid.


    Right, so YOUR argument here is invalid.


    It is proven totally true entirely on the basis of the

    simply ignore this.


    Nope. You are just proving by the meaning of the words that you are

    Sorry, but that is the facts.

    Logic is currently defined to work contrary to the way that
    truth itself actually works. No logician ever noticed this
    because testing the coherence of basic principles of logic
    is outside of the scope of logicians.

    That may be YOUR OPINION, but "Truth" (in logic) is actualy a DEFINED TERM.


    They are generally a learned-by-rote bunch. Philosophy of
    logic delves into this more deeply the problem. The
    learned-by-rote bunch assumes that learning by rote makes

    No, you have your never-learned-because-of-ignorance ideas that are just incoherent.

    Your trying to ally with Wittgenstein doesn't really help you, as his
    ideas were not always accepted, and considered prone to error, not

    That attitude is what proves you are stupid

    Of course, your mind can't handle the compliated logic, so you don't
    understand that.

    My guess is that you logic just can't handle supporting the properties
    of the Natural Numbers, that or it doesn't get you the clearity you want because it still supports truth by an infinite chain that becomes
    unprovable.

    On the other hand, I think you just don't understand the nature of what
    you are talking about, and I suspect what you are thinking has already
    been thought of before.

    Not at all, yet you only care about rebuttal.

    The formal systems are essentially the same as
    before except they exclude self-contradictory
    expressions as bad input.


    Nope, because changing a core definition invalidates ANY proof that used
    the old version of the definition until it is shown that it doesn't
    changee the proof.

    So, either your change does something, and needs all of the logic to be verified, or it doesn't actually change anything and thus has no afffect
    on it.

    In fact, it sounds like you are changing logic to multi-valued (since
    "reject" is a possible answer) and that totally changes things.

    Sorry, you are just proving you don't know what you are talking about,
    and it seems you believe that LYING is just valid logic.

    different rules, something that seems foreign to you.


    We change one key rule of logic and then all of the
    logical paradoxes suddenly disappear and logic becomes
    complete, coherent and consistent.


    And limited, too limited to be useful.


    Not at all, yet you only care about rebuttal.

    The formal systems are essentially the same as
    before except they exclude self-contradictory
    expressions as bad input.


    Nope, because changing a core definition invalidates ANY proof that
    used the old version of the definition until it is shown that it
    doesn't changee the proof.


    The non-existence of a concrete counter-example would prove otherwise.
    In this simplified version of my proposal a valid counter-example
    is categorically impossible.

    Nope, classical fallacy.


    When the ONLY change is that self-contradictory expressions
    are rejected then this cannot possibly have any effect on
    anything not involving self-contradictory expressions.

    When all of your eggs are white then none of your eggs are black.



    Nope, just shows you don't understand what you are talking about.

    If everything that was a true statement before is still a true
    statement, then you restrictions did nothing.

    And perhaps that is correct, as most logic systems already "reject" self-contradictory expressions as non-truth bearers. After all, the
    normal definition of a statement being true is that it has a, possibly infinite, path from the axioms of the system through the proven theorems
    to the statement.

    The issue with the "True" predicate, is that the way it is defined, it
    is allowed to be given statements that are neither true or false, but
    can not have a truth value, but are syntactically valid, and for these,
    since they are not true, it is to respond false, but because of the
    power of that system, we can construct a statement that uses the True
    predicate in a self-contradictory way that means that the True predicate
    can't form a correct asnwer.

    Not at all. I am doing the same sort thing that ZFC

    Zermelo constructed a new formal theory that does not have that paradox.
    Note that the paradox was not present in Cantor's original theory as
    Cantor did not promise that Russell's set exists. But Cantor's original presentation was not fully formal so it was not clear that Russell's
    set does not exist.

    (through a sequence of true preserving operations) in system
    F to its semantic meanings expressed in language L of F

    No, it does not. In every consisten system has some x that is
    untrue in the above sense. That does not make the negation of
    x true in the same sense.

    Whenever there is no sequence of truth preserving from
    x or ~x to its meaning in L of F then x has no truth-maker
    in F and x not a truth-bearer in F. We never get to x is
    undecidable in F.

    If x is not a truh-bearer it is undecidable. If x is not undecidable
    the it is decidable, i.e., either x or its negation is provable.
    You have the notion, you only used another vernacuar term.


    If you cannot prove or refute that you are going to
    the store to buy a carton of milk in Boolean algebra
    that does not mean that Boolean algebra is incomplete.
    It means that this proof is not in the domain of
    Boolean algebra.

    Who said I cannot prove or refute that? But I needn't.
    Someone may ask whether or when I am going to buy but
    in that case an answer may suffice or perhaps the milk
    is required but no proof.

    ZFC didn't need to do that. All they had to do is
    redefine the notion of a set so that it was no longer

    I guess you haven't read the papers of Zermelo and Fraenkel. They
    created a new definition of what a set was, and then showed what that
    implies, since by changing the definitions, all the old work of set
    theory has to be thrown out, and then we see what can be established.


    None of this is changing any more rules. All
    of these are the effects of the change of the
    definition of a set.


    No, they defined not only what WAS a set, but what you could do as
    basic operations ON a set.

    Axiom of extensibility: the definition of sets being equal, that ZFC is
    built on first-order logic.



    Axion of regularity/Foundation: This is the rule that a set can not be
    a member of itself, and that we can count the members of a set.

    This one is the key that conquered Russell's Paradox.
    If anything else changed it changed on the basis of this change
    or was not required to defeat RP.

    That is not sufficient. They also had to Comprehension.

    Axiom Schema of Specification: We can build a sub-set from another set
    and a set of conditions. (Which implies the existance of the empty set)

    This is added to keep most of Comprenesion but not Russell's set.

    No, you said that "ALL THEY DID" was that, and that is just a LIE.

    They developed a full formal system.


    They did nothing besides change the definition of
    a set and the result of this was a new formal system.

    Yes they did. They did show that the new system is similar enough to
    the old systems to be called "set theory" and sufficiently useful.

    When any tiniest portion of the meaning of an expression

    Meaningless does not mean has less meaning, it is
    an idiom for having zero meaning. https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/meaningless

    You are lying. According to that page the word "meaningless"
    has two meanings. The other is 'having no real importance or value'.

    We can not use the "ZFC" set theory from *JUST* the definition, but
    need all the other rules derived from it.

    The root cause of all of the changes is the redefinition
    of what a set is. Likewise with my own redefinition of a
    formal system by simply defining the details of True(L,x).

    Once I specify the architecture others can fill in the details.


    Yes, the ROOT was that change, but you don't understand that if they
    JUST did that root, and not the other work, Set theory would not have
    been "fixed", as it still wouldn't have been usable.


    Defining that no set can be a member of itself would seem
    to do the trick.

    It doesn't if there is another axiom that says or impies that the is a set
    that contains itself, or if several axioms together imply that. If someting provably exists then it exists even if you can prove that it does not
    exist.

    No. Just tacking it on at the end of set theory gets rid of RP.

    You needn't. It is provable in naive set theory that no set can be
    a member of itself. The problem is that in naive set theory you can
    also prove that there is a set that is a member of itself. Adding
    new definitions or axioms don't affect either proof. In order to
    remove a proof you must remove an axiom.

    ZFC is not an opinion, it is a thing. The abbreviation "ZFC" refers to
    that particular thing. You are free to ignore it but it exists anyway.

    No, it isn't an "opinion", it is a set of definitions, and the logic
    system that comes out of them.

    People are of course allowed to choose which ever set theory they want
    to use, but if they choose to use Naive Set Theory, they have the
    problem that it is known to be inconsistant, and thus any "proof" they
    build is suspect.

    They can also shoose some other Set theory  Theory, maybe even just ZF,
    or to one of the derived theorys like Morse-Kelly, or to something
    different like one of the New Foundations Systems. The key is you tend
    to need to specify if you differ from ZFC which is generally considered
    the default.

    You seem to be having trouble with the words you are using.


    Not that. I am taking the hypothetical extreme position
    to see where you set your own boundaries on this.


    or reinterprete what others have said or proven based on you
    stipulation, in fact, by stipulating that definition, anythig that uses >>>> any other definition of it becomes out of bounds for your argument.


    Everything in logic the depended on some notion of True is
    changed. Any logic operations that were not truth preserving
    are discarded. The notion of valid inference is also changed
    because it was not truth preserving.


    And needs to be reproved to see if it is still true.


    When a conclusion is not a necessary consequence of all of its
    premises then the argument is invalid.


    Right, so YOUR argument here is invalid.


    It is proven totally true entirely on the basis of the
    meaning of its words. Math conventions to the contrary
    simply ignore this.


    Nope. You are just proving by the meaning of the words that you are
    totally ignorant of how logic works.

    Sorry, but that is the facts.


    Logic is currently defined to work contrary to the way that
    truth itself actually works.

    The classical logic is empirically correct.
    As Aristotle says, we use the ordinary rules of inference
    because nobody has ever observed a situation where a valid
    inference from true premises gives a false conclusion.

    You needn't. It is provable in naive set theory that no set can be
    a member of itself. The problem is that in naive set theory you can
    also prove that there is a set that is a member of itself. Adding
    new definitions or axioms don't affect either proof. In order to

    I accept whatever process of fully integrating the

    Note, I said has rules, and different forms of logic have

    We change one key rule of logic and then all of the
    logical paradoxes suddenly disappear and logic becomes
    complete, coherent and consistent.


    And limited, too limited to be useful.


    Not at all, yet you only care about rebuttal.

    The formal systems are essentially the same as
    before except they exclude self-contradictory
    expressions as bad input.


    Nope, because changing a core definition invalidates ANY proof that
    used the old version of the definition until it is shown that it
    doesn't changee the proof.


    The non-existence of a concrete counter-example would prove otherwise.
    In this simplified version of my proposal a valid counter-example
    is categorically impossible.

    Nope, classical fallacy.


    When the ONLY change is that self-contradictory expressions
    are rejected then this cannot possibly have any effect on
    anything not involving self-contradictory expressions.

    When all of your eggs are white then none of your eggs are black.



    Nope, just shows you don't understand what you are talking about.

    If everything that was a true statement before is still a true
    statement, then you restrictions did nothing.


    Bullshit on that.
    Everything that was undecidable before is now rejected as
    incorrect. This invalidates the whole notion of undecidability
    as a linguistic error.



    No, because your definition doesn't change the meaning of "undecidable" statements like Godel's G.

    Godel's G *IS* established by an infinite series of truth preserving
    operations in PA, and thus *IS* True. It can not be established by a
    finite number of steps in PA, so it is undecidable in PA.

    Either you are changing the truth value of G, and thus breaking your
    system as you haven't removed the facts that made it true, or you
    haven't removed undecidablility.

    More likely, you are just proving that you don't understand what you are talking about and thus your whole idea is just worthless. The fact that
    you don't see how it is a fact that G is true in PA reveals how little
    you undestand of what you talk about.

    That is not sufficient. They also had to Comprehension.

    set and a set of conditions. (Which implies the existance of the
    empty set)

    This is added to keep most of Comprenesion but not Russell's set.


    All they did was (as I already said) was redefine the notion of a set.
    That this can still be called set theory seems redundant.


    Nope, the redefined the notion of a set, AN THEN WORKED OUT WHAT THAT
    MEANS TO SET THEORY.

    You don't seem to understand the work involved in that, which is why you
    don't understand what you need to do to make your change.

    Note the generic term "Set Theory" doesn't define a particular set of
    rules except by common agreement. Prior to Russel, that generic term
    refered to what is now called "Naive Set Theory". Russel showed that
    system was broken.

    Z/F worked out a new set of axioms (using SOME of the old ones, some
    slightly modified, and some new ones). Then they worked out many of the properties of that system so it was actually usable. Thus ZF-Set Theory,
    and ZFC-Set Theory were born. (and later some other variants). Because
    it was decided by the general community to be so useful, the default
    meaning of "Set Theory" changed (as words in Natural Lanugages, i.e.
    outside Formal System tend to do).

    If you want to propose a new logic system with different definitions,
    you need to do the same thing. You need to first formally define what
    your axioms of your basic system are, then show what you can do with those.

    Then you need to show why your system is better than the existing one.
    You don't have the breaking inconsistancy that Russel showed in Naive
    Set Theory, so you need to make a good demonstration showing that your
    system has some advantage, being able to do something that conventional
    logic can't do, and that at least most of the things we do with
    conventional logic still apply.

    My guess is this last point is going to be a problem, as Proofs like
    those of Godel and Tarski show that with very basic operations, system
    that support the full properties of Natual Numbers experience the issues
    you claim your definition solves, so either it doesn't remove them (and
    thus doesn't get any advantages) or it can't support the properties of
    the Natural Numbers, which makes it a very limited logic system.

    Not at all. I am doing the same sort thing that ZFC
    did to conquer Russell's Paradox.

    Zermelo constructed a new formal theory that does not have that paradox.
    Note that the paradox was not present in Cantor's original theory as
    Cantor did not promise that Russell's set exists. But Cantor's original
    presentation was not fully formal so it was not clear that Russell's
    set does not exist.


    I am redefining the notion of a formal system to get
    rid of undecidability. This requires few changes.

    Put a draft and a request for discussion on a web site.

    I never lie. Sometimes I make mistakes.
    It looks like you only want to dodge the actual
    topic with any distraction that you can find.

    Expressions of language that are {true on the basis of
    their meaning expressed in this same language} defines
    analytic(Olcott) that overcomes any objections that
    anyone can possibly have about the analytic/synthetic
    distinction.

    This makes all Analytic(Olcott) truth computable or the
    expression is simply untrue because it lacks a truthmaker.

    No, it doesn't. An algrithm or at least a proof of existence of an >>>>>>>> algrithm makes something computable. You  can't compute if you con't >>>>>>>> know how. The truth makeker of computability is an algorithm.


    There is either a sequence of truth preserving operations from
    the set of expressions stipulated to be true (AKA the verbal

    how the Liar Paradox is best refuted.

    Nice to see that you con't disagree.


    When the idea that I presented is fully understood
    it abolishes the whole notion of undecidability.

    If you can't prove atl least that you have an interesting idea
    nobody is going to stody it enough to understood.

    In epistemology (theory of knowledge), a self-evident proposition
    is a proposition that is known to be true by understanding its meaning
    without proof https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-evidence

    Self-evident propositions are uninteresting.


    It turns out that self-evident <is> the notion of {analytic truth}
    and all of math and logic only deals in {analytic truth}.

    A large part of what math and logic deals in is not self-evident.
    For examle, most people would not regard it self-evident that in
    classical geometry it is impossible to construct a square that
    has the same area as a given circle.

    Sure. The formal system must be consistent.

    There is no "must" about it. A formal system may be inconsistent.
    An inconsistent system has very little practical value but so
    have many consistent systems, too.

    It is actually very hard to prove that a formal system is consistent.

    ZFC didn't need to do that. All they had to do is
    redefine the notion of a set so that it was no longer
    incoherent.

    As the notion of set is the all what a set theory is about,
    a redefinition of the notion of a set is means Zermelo started
    from square one and built an entirely new formal system.


    The key functional difference was the result of few changes
    and everything else stayed the same. Besides defeating RP
    what was another functional result?

    The theory says that the universe of sets is infinite but does
    not say whether it is uncountable. Consequently there is a countable
    universe that can be proven to contain uncountable sets (and all
    their members because the theory says that all memebers are sets).

    I guess you haven't read the papers of Zermelo and Fraenkel. They
    created a new definition of what a set was, and then showed what that >>>>>> implies, since by changing the definitions, all the old work of set >>>>>> theory has to be thrown out, and then we see what can be established. >>>>>>

    None of this is changing any more rules. All
    of these are the effects of the change of the
    definition of a set.


    No, they defined not only what WAS a set, but what you could do as
    basic operations ON a set.

    Axiom of extensibility: the definition of sets being equal, that ZFC is >>>> built on first-order logic.



    Axion of regularity/Foundation: This is the rule that a set can not be >>>> a member of itself, and that we can count the members of a set.

    This one is the key that conquered Russell's Paradox.
    If anything else changed it changed on the basis of this change
    or was not required to defeat RP.

    That is not sufficient. They also had to Comprehension.

    Axiom Schema of Specification: We can build a sub-set from another set >>>> and a set of conditions. (Which implies the existance of the empty set)

    This is added to keep most of Comprenesion but not Russell's set.


    All they did was (as I already said) was redefine the notion of a set.
    That this can still be called set theory seems redundant.

    They did, as both Richard Damon and I already said, much more. They
    also explained their rationale, worked out various consequnces of
    their axioms and compared them to expectations, and developed better
    sets of axioms.

    One consequence of ZF axioms is that there is no set that contains all
    other sets as members. Some regard this as a defect and have developed
    set thories that have a universal set that contains all other sets as
    members (and usually itself, too).

    Some common forms of second order logic use sets. Those sets are different
    from the sets of ZFC. In ZFC all members of sets are sets but in such
    second order logic a set cannot be a memeber of set.

    I am redefining the foundations of logic thus my definitions
    are stipulated to override and supersede the original definitions.
    It took a long time to reverse-engineer the subtle nuances of
    the exact details of what needed to be changed.

    It took me two years just to define the term {analytic true}
    so that is became a semantic tautology. For the prior years
    to that most everyone simply disbelieved that there actually
    was an {analytic} side of the analytic/synthetic distinction. https://plato.stanford.edu/Entries/analytic-synthetic/


    And thus you need to first fully build the foundation, by FORMALLY
    defining with precisely defined words, the FULL set of axioms that you
    base foundation will use.

    THEN you need to build something on it to show what it can (or can't)
    do. Ideally, take it forward to the point of having a system of similar
    power to the systems of the theorys you are complaining about are built on.

    That is a lot of work, so you better get to it, but first you might want
    to learn how the existing systems are actually build so you understand
    what you need to do. My guess is you might have something worth showing
    is maybe 20 years or so. To bad you wasted all that time doing it the
    wrong way.

    They did nothing besides change the definition of
    a set and the result of this was a new formal system.

    Yes they did. They did show that the new system is similar enough to
    the old systems to be called "set theory" and sufficiently useful.


    They redefined the notion of a set in set theory and that
    by itself got rid of Russell's Paradox. Mostly this disallows
    a set to be a member of itself.

    The new notion is restricted to their new system. The general informal
    notion of "set" is unaffected. Some sets, e.q. Quine's atom that
    contains itself and nothing else is not a set in Zermelo's theory
    but is an example of a set according to the general notion.

    I redefine the notion of formal system in math and logic
    and this by itself gets rids of undecidability. Mostly this
    rejects self-contradictory expressions.

    Math and logic are not formal systems that could be replaced with
    other formal systems. The notion of formal system cannot be redefined.
    You can construct a new formal system where formal system is formally
    defined but that definition has no consequences outside that syatem.


    I am doing the same sort of thing that ZFC did to conquer
    RP and my end result is that undecidability ceases to exist.


    Nope, because you are finishing the work, probably because you just
    don't know how, so you have NO idea if your idea actually works.

    Sorry, you are just proving how much of a stupid dishonest liar you are.

    All they did was (as I already said) was redefine the notion of a set.
    That this can still be called set theory seems redundant.


    Nope, the redefined the notion of a set, AN THEN WORKED OUT WHAT THAT
    MEANS TO SET THEORY.

    You don't seem to understand the work involved in that, which is why
    you don't understand what you need to do to make your change.

    Note the generic term "Set Theory" doesn't define a particular set of
    rules except by common agreement. Prior to Russel, that generic term
    refered to what is now called "Naive Set Theory". Russel showed that
    system was broken.

    Z/F worked out a new set of axioms (using SOME of the old ones, some
    slightly modified, and some new ones). Then they worked out many of
    the properties of that system so it was actually usable. Thus ZF-Set
    Theory, and ZFC-Set Theory were born. (and later some other variants).
    Because it was decided by the general community to be so useful, the
    default meaning of "Set Theory" changed (as words in Natural
    Lanugages, i.e. outside Formal System tend to do).

    If you want to propose a new logic system with different definitions,
    you need to do the same thing. You need to first formally define what
    your axioms of your basic system are, then show what you can do with
    those.

    Then you need to show why your system is better than the existing one.
    You don't have the breaking inconsistancy that Russel showed in Naive
    Set Theory, so you need to make a good demonstration showing that your
    system has some advantage, being able to do something that
    conventional logic can't do, and that at least most of the things we
    do with conventional logic still apply.

    My guess is this last point is going to be a problem, as Proofs like
    those of Godel and Tarski show that with very basic operations, system
    that support the full properties of Natual Numbers experience the
    issues you claim your definition solves, so either it doesn't remove
    them (and thus doesn't get any advantages) or it can't support the
    properties of the Natural Numbers, which makes it a very limited logic
    system.

    Before anyone can work out the details of the effects of
    what my proposed change to the definition of a formal
    system involves it cannot be rejected out-of-hand as incorrect
    without review.


    No, it CAN be rejected out of hand when you try to IMPROPERLY apply it
    to a system that doesn't use them.

    Write up your system and prove what it does as a foundation, then we can
    talk about what it does.

    Trying to just graft it into the existing system is just a LIE and
    proves your ignorance of what you should be doing.

    It makes one wonder if you are even capable of building the system you
    claim to be talking about.

    They did, as both Richard Damon and I already said, much more. They
    also explained their rationale, worked out various consequnces of
    their axioms and compared them to expectations, and developed better
    sets of axioms.


    They made no other changes to the notion of set theory
    than redefining what a set is. Even then it seems they
    did less than this.


    Nope, maybe you should read their papers, if you can understand them.


    From what I recall it seems that they only changed how
    sets can be constructed. The operations that can be
    performed on sets remained the same.

    Nope, just shows you didn't actually study what they did, maybe read a
    few "cliff notes".


    One consequence of ZF axioms is that there is no set that contains all
    other sets as members. Some regard this as a defect and have developed
    set thories that have a universal set that contains all other sets as
    members (and usually itself, too).


    Then maybe they did this incorrectly. They only needed to
    specify that a set cannot be a member of itself when a
    set is constructed. This would not preclude a universal
    set of all other sets.

    The key point is they didn't say theirs was the only way to build a set
    theory, Just that this was *A* set theory that meet at least most of the
    needs.

    Their definitions CAN'T have a universal set, as in ZFC it is always
    possible to built another set FROM any set, including the "universal
    set", and the universal set can't contain that set.

    ZFC is constructive in nature and you build sets up. Other set theorys
    might start with a defined "Universal" set (likely infinite), and you
    break it down into sub sets that you work with. This gives you a
    different sort of set theory.


    Some common forms of second order logic use sets. Those sets are
    different
    from the sets of ZFC. In ZFC all members of sets are sets but in such
    second order logic a set cannot be a memeber of set.

    When calling someone a liar most people do not assume that
    you are accusing them of an honest mistake.

    People have different tolerances about "honest". People may call you
    "dishonest" or a "liar" if they regard your mistake as a consequence
    of a lack of reasonable care. People also have different opinions
    about "reasonable".

    When I specify semantic tautologies and people say that
    they are lies they make themselves look either foolish
    or dishonest.

    More often you make yourself look foolish or dishonest or both.
    Being dishonest is foolish if others can immediately notice it.

    OK. I always use the base meaning of a term as its only meaning.

    If you want to use this you should say so and specify the dictionary
    in the beginning of your opus. You shold not choose a dictionary
    that presents obsolete and archaic meanings first.

    None of this is changing any more rules. All
    of these are the effects of the change of the
    definition of a set.


    No, they defined not only what WAS a set, but what you could do as >>>>>> basic operations ON a set.

    Axiom of extensibility: the definition of sets being equal, that ZFC is >>>>>> built on first-order logic.



    Axion of regularity/Foundation: This is the rule that a set can not be >>>>>> a member of itself, and that we can count the members of a set.

    This one is the key that conquered Russell's Paradox.
    If anything else changed it changed on the basis of this change
    or was not required to defeat RP.

    That is not sufficient. They also had to Comprehension.

    Axiom Schema of Specification: We can build a sub-set from another set >>>>>> and a set of conditions. (Which implies the existance of the empty set) >>>>
    This is added to keep most of Comprenesion but not Russell's set.


    All they did was (as I already said) was redefine the notion of a set.
    That this can still be called set theory seems redundant.

    They did, as both Richard Damon and I already said, much more. They
    also explained their rationale, worked out various consequnces of
    their axioms and compared them to expectations, and developed better
    sets of axioms.


    They made no other changes to the notion of set theory
    than redefining what a set is. Even then it seems they
    did less than this.

    That is so obvious that needs not be mentined. There is nothing
    in the set theory expept what a set is so obviously nothing else
    can be changed.

    From what I recall it seems that they only changed how
    sets can be constructed. The operations that can be
    performed on sets remained the same.

    There are axioms about exstence and non-existence of certain kind of
    sets. For example, the axiom of regularity (aka foudation) specifies
    that ill-founded sets (e.g., Quine's atom) do not exist.

    One consequence of ZF axioms is that there is no set that contains all
    other sets as members. Some regard this as a defect and have developed
    set thories that have a universal set that contains all other sets as
    members (and usually itself, too).

    Then maybe they did this incorrectly. They only needed to
    specify that a set cannot be a member of itself when a
    set is constructed. This would not preclude a universal
    set of all other sets.

    The power set axiom prevents the existence of a set that contains
    all other sets. Set theories with an unversal set need to restrict
    the construction operations more than what is usually considered
    reasonable.

    Cantor's original presentation did not specify the permitted operations
    but all presented constructions were from already constructed sets so
    no presented set contained itself. Cantor did not use unlimited
    construction by properties but did not prohibit such constructions.

    You are lying. According to that page the word "meaningless"
    has two meanings. The other is 'having no real importance or value'. >>>>>>

    My original correction to this issue would be to have an ISO
    standard dictionary with standard subscripts for sense meanings.

    Just state in the beginning your opus which dictinary gives the
    correct meaning of your words. You may also state that only the
    first meaning applies.

    (3) an inaccurate or untrue statement; falsehood:

    a person who tells lies.

    When calling someone a liar most people do not assume that
    you are accusing them of an honest mistake.

    People have different tolerances about "honest". People may call you
    "dishonest" or a "liar" if they regard your mistake as a consequence
    of a lack of reasonable care. People also have different opinions
    about "reasonable".

    When I specify semantic tautologies and people say that
    they are lies they make themselves look either foolish
    or dishonest.

    More often you make yourself look foolish or dishonest or both.
    Being dishonest is foolish if others can immediately notice it.


    Your failure to understand what I am saying does not make me incorrect.

    Who said I don't understand it? Foolish and dishonest authors can write understandable texts, the latter often with good skill.
