The actual proof in meta-math that G cannot be
proved in PA is itself not any sequence of inference
steps. It simply uses a version of the proof that
Cantor use to show that reals are not countable.

2 + 3 = 4 in PA cannot be proven because
s(s(0)) + s(s(s(0))) != s(s(s(s(0))))

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).
