You. Can't. Do. That.

How do two nodes agree on the meaning of one word starting with zero knowledge?

Go ahead and get Bob and Alice to agree on the semantic meaning of "Truth".
Go ahead and get Bob (who knows what Truth means) to communicate that meaning to Alice (who doesn't know what Truth means).

The harder problem at your feet is the leader election problem.

Bob says that "Truth" means one thing. Alice says that "Truth" means something else. Whose Truth-semantic is right?

To solve this problem you need to solve the relativization barrier.

Conceptual truth is a set of stipulated relations between meanings mutually defining
each other semantically comprising the body of conceptual knowledge. That fact
that nearly all conceptual knowledge can be effectively encoded and decoded
correctly refutes your claims to the contrary.

That means the definitions of all words, as defintion is a relation, are circular.....

20 years on that meaningless word salad. It's funny or sad, pathetic or horrifying.

It is pretty pitiful that you only have empty rhetoric bereft of reasoning.
I thought that I remembered that you were my best reviewer on this forum.
Maybe the philosophical aspects are out of your comfort zone?

What I am proposing has the same structure as a Prolog database, thus not circular at all.

What defines the conceptually true concept of 'definition'?

You need some morphology in your life.

FYI, you do know that Quine succeeded in reproducing the Liar's paradox in the form of a directed graph, right?
E.g no self references.

The relation of words to each other is handled by predicates, which is merely
another name for Relations:
"="("2 + 3", "5") has its Boolean property assigned the value of TRUE.

The above is merely a single example to show the gist of what stipulated
relations between finite strings are. Arithmetic would actually be handled
by an algorithm.

When Quine handles the Liar Paradox without self-reference he does
so incorrectly because the Liar Paradox specifies Self-Reference.

The ONLY way to fully understand things as difficult as the Liar Paradox
is to boil them down to their barest essence, Quine does the opposite of this.

LP := ~True(LP) This one is logically equivalent LP ↔ ~True(LP).
The second one essentially says that it is logically equivalent to not being logically equivalent.

The Formalized Liar Paradox says that LP is materially equivalent to Not True.
The truth table shows that this is self-contradictory.
LP ↔ ¬True(LP)

It necessitates circularity...I learned this by looking up words in a dictionary within the first few weeks of taking my philosophical studies seriously.

One word leads to another word, which leads back to the original word, while both words lead to a new group of words.

Same applies to the number line.

What I am proposing has the same fundamental acyclic directed graph structure
as a Prolog database. That you continue your rant about circularity after I
pointed this point seems quite foolish.

That you don't understand the meaning of what I said only proves your own
ignorance and nothing more.

That prolog database is dependent upon the context of languages outside of it...it is not limited to all languages bowing to prolog.

Please continue ranting your gibberish, beating up your work is a great stress reliever.

Kind of like a pinata, I keep beating it and little fun and interesting facts spill ever where...they make me sick and disgusted like a child who ate too much candy...but hey kids will be kids...

You are the guy that believes 1=0, right?

The directed graph inheritance hierarchy knowledge ontology only has upward paths
thus making cycles impossible.
