"It is extremely important to understand that the classical treatment
of
language interpretation parameterizes the universal quantifier over
collections. Moreover, the existential quantifier is interpreted only
with
respect to its status as a derivative concept relative to the
universal
quantifier. These are the underlying assumptions of construction that
allow
the self-inconsistency of a specific syntactic form to be extended to
a
metaphysical assertion of reality. "
so I can employ him to work on my Logic Solver!
Unfortunately his ideas weren't welcome in sci.logic 9 years ago.
Apart from that, I have some spots available here:
