A semantic tautology might be considered the
complete definition of a a word by providing
the complete definition of every word in this
definition recursively all the way down until
every one of these words is completely defined.

Also it is very important that the formal language
fully integrates every aspect of semantics directly
in the syntax. Much of the issues with formal systems
is that the model can get out-of-sync with the formal
system. When the model is one-and-the-same as the
formal system then getting out-of-sync is not possible.

To eliminate ambiguity with the sense meanings of
words each lexeme has its own GUID.

A lexeme is the fundamental unit of meaning in a
language, representing a single word or a group of
words that convey a specific concept.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning" computable.

This required establishing a new foundation
for correct reasoning.
