Making the definition an analytic truth unequivocal so that
screwballs like Willard Van Orman Quine can't f--- it up is
very straight forward.

https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf
Linguistic truth is entirely comprised of relations between finite 
strings of symbols. Some of these relations are stipulated to be true
"an elementary theorem is an elementary statement which is true" (Curry)

Expression X of language L is true in L if and only if there exists
a sequence of truth preserving operations in L to the semantic meaning
M of X in L otherwise X is untrue in L.
