Extended Picture Theory or Models inside Models inside Models

📖 Description

This post offers a model of meaning (and hence truth) based on extending Wittgenstein's [Picture Theory](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Picture_theory_of_language). I believe that this model is valuable enough to be worth presenting on its own. I've left justification for another post, but all I'll say for now is that I believe this model to be useful even if it isn't ultimately true. I'll hint at the applications to AI safety, but these won't be fully developed either.
