IN ORDER TO UNIFY AND MAKE SENSE OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, WE MUST HAVE A UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL LANGUAGE IN WHICH THE SPECIAL-PURPOSE LANGUAGES OF SCIENCE CAN BE CONSISTENTLY EXPRESSED AND INTERPRETED. THE FACT THAT THIS FOUNDATIONAL LANGUAGE CONTROLS THE INTERPRETATION OF PHYSICAL THEORIES DEMANDS THAT IT BE METAPHYSICAL; IT MUST REFER TO SCIENCE “FROM ABOVE”. YET, IN ORDER TO DO ITS JOB, IT MUST ALSO BE NECESSARILY TRUE, WHICH REQUIRES THAT IT BE A MATHEMATICALLY VERIFIED INGREDIENT OF SCIENCE.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE REQUIRED METALANGUAGE IS THAT THROUGH WHICH SCIENCE, INCLUDING BOTH MATHEMATICS AND EMPIRICAL APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS, BECOMES SELF-REFERENTIAL AND SELF-NORMATIVE…THE “BOOTSTRAPPING” OF ORDINARY MATHEMATICAL-SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE TO A HIGHER VERIFICATIVE LEVEL OF DISCOURSE SPANNING SCIENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY. THIS REQUIREMENT LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE CTMU AND SCSPL, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THIS INTERVIEW AND ELSEWHERE.
