John,

I deeply appreciate your response and your slide show.  At first I had 
trouble understanding the difference between what you called 
"syntax-semantics" mapping with the Goedel-related consistency 
assertion.  I think the issue is now resolved and it was a pleasure to read.

Thank you so much for your explanation.

Reza.
