Harv,

How about this as a working definition of truth? If a statement is internally self consistent than it is true! (In this case, the term "statement" is to be understood to be something put forward: i.e., it may be anything from a single simple sentence to an involved essay or an entire philosophy.)

Listening -- Dick
