چکیده
Aging, along with the associated costs (not just in dollars), is a major health problem (cf. United Nations Programme on Ageing1).

The fact that the post-World War II baby boom generation will be reaching elderly status in the coming years adds urgency to the need to address foreseeable problems before they occur. This situation is tantamount to a “Sputnik” for research in aging, similar to what became the impetus for the American space program (cf. Kennedy2).

The final sentence of Stephan F. Barker’s Philosophy of Mathematics (1964) can be paraphrased as follows: The house of semiotics has many mansions, and in it many games are played. But we can ask ourselves whether consistency and completeness-logical concepts in the first place are effective in approaching the legitimacy of semiotics, not to mention that after Gödel’s (1931) research on the rel...
