You are being deceptive. I quit!
Actually I am not. Your theory just makes no sense, that is all. You cannot define reality without ending in contradiction.
I am not trying to define reality that is impossible.
Physical sensations cannot be expressed as abstractions.
I am correctly defining aspects of a model of reality.
This whole conversation, as a physical event over a computer, is the manifestation of the physical through symbols which are abstractions.

Pete, the promise of the system you are claiming to be building is that it will determine what is and isn't true.

Great! Write me an algorithm to decide that.

this idea has been categorized as uncertainly true.
Great! Write me an algorithm to decide that.

Great! Write me an algorithm/function (lets call it ShouldInclude?() ) which given the input String: "The Big Bang Theory"
returns Boolean: True.

I don't know because I have no idea what "truth" is. You said your system will tell me.

I don't know because I have no idea what "truth" is. You said your system will tell me.
I would estimate that when you say that you have no idea what truth is you are lying.
What you really mean is that you do not have a perfectly complete and infallible criterion measure.

A perfectly complete and infallible criterion measure will require thousands of iterations of
improvements. The first step for you is acknowledging that what you just said:
---I have no idea what "truth" is.--- is a lie.

A rational dialogue cannot occur on the basis of dishonestly or gross exaggeration.

I would estimate that you are lying by calling me a liar.

What I really mean is what I said. Please stop insisting that you can read my mind; or speak on my behalf.

I am not asking you for perfection. I am asking you for minimum viable product.

Any algorithm. Even an imperfect one will suffice.

Then stop lying.
