Eric, I like:
So here, "syntactically internally inconsistent" takes the place of Popper's "falsified", whereas "apparently syntactically internally consistent" takes the place of Popper's "not yet falsified". Trying to find a semantics for an apparently-consistent formal system takes the place of building empirical confidence in claims that in Popper's construction are still eligible to be "true". Might just work.
