    If you apply different semantics a different result may be possible.


    It is merely relational connections between finite strings
    thus encoding all of the semantics as these relations.
    This is my original source of that:

    By the theory of simple types I mean the doctrine which says that the
    objects of thought (or, in another interpretation, the symbolic
    expressions) are divided into types, namely: individuals, properties of individuals, relations between individuals, properties of such
    relations, etc. (with a similar hierarchy for extensions), and that
    sentences of the form: " a has the property φ ", " b bears the relation
    R to c ", etc. are meaningless, if a, b, c, R, φ are not of types
    fitting together.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_type_theory#G%C3%B6del_1944

    That all boils down to different types of relations
    between finite strings. The property of a relation is
    itself a type of relation to another relation.


    Your proposal means a lot of work and therefore a long time.

    Not with LLM  systems.

    Even with them. Of course having powerful tools helps.


    LLM systems reduce the workload from millions of labor
    years to perhaps less than five years of calendar time.

    Nope, since LLMs do FLAWED analysis, anything that need PROOF that it is correct can't count on them. You can perhaps


    The Cyc project took about 1000 labor years to hand
    encode a tiny subset of human common sense.

    Getting from Generative AI to Trustworthy AI:
    What LLMs might learn from Cyc
    https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.04445


    Which if you read even the front piece, says that LLM won't work, as by
    their nature, they only work on "plausable", and thus can't be the sole solution. As such, they may find which subset of know paths to look at
    to speed up other methods, but will not be the answer themselves, and
    can not be used to try to exhaustively prove something.

    Tarki's proof claimed that True(X) is forever

    And thus your Formal system fails to meet the requirements he put on the
    Formal system that his theory applied to.

    And thus can't show Tarski was wrong, as it can't exist in the required
    space.

    All you are doing it PROVING beyound all doubt that you are just an
    ignorant liar that it trying (and failing) to pass of a FRAUD based on misdefining the terms of logic.

    Sorry, it seems you have sealed you place in the toilet of history as a
    total fraud.

    Sure he did. Using a mathematical system like Godel, we can construct a

    Note, "The Entire set of Human General Knowledge" does not contain the

    number of them possible, and thus to even try to express them all
    requires an infinite number of axioms, and thus your system fails to
    meet the requirements. Once you don't have the meta- systems, Tarski
    proof can create a metasystem, that you system doesn't know about,
    which creates the problem statement.


    It is not fooled by pathological self-reference or >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> self-contradiction.


    Of course it is, because it can't detect all forms of such references.

    And, even if it does detect it, what answer does True(x) produce when
    we have designed (via a metalanguage) that the statement x in the
    language will be true if and only if ! True(x), which he showed can be
    done in ANY system with sufficient power, which your universal system
    must have.
