My purpose in refuting the HP proofs is to establish the required
truckload of credibility so that my Gödel and Tarski reasoning will be
accepted. My purpose in getting this reasoning accepted is to formalize
the notion of truth to anchor Davidson's truth conditional semantics.
After having completed all of that I would like to lead a team to derive
the process required for automatically populating knowledge ontologies
such as the Cyc project. I have determined that this is the key required
step to create a fully functional human mind from software.
