I had to redefine the analytic side of the analytic/synthetic
distinction because Quine convinced most everyone that this
distinction does not exist.

Every expression x of (formal or natural) language L that
can be connected to the its semantic meaning in L by a
sequence of truth preserving operations is true in L.
The same thing applies to ~x making x false in L.

When x and ~x are both unprovable in L then x is not a
truth-bearer in L.
