Voice referendum using ‘Syntax, Quantum Grammar Construct’. Mathematically correct wording that proves that fact is factual, with the words written. Mathematically correct language will mean there is no opportunity for the Voice referendum wording to be interpreted to mean anything else. Proving what the written words mean, if they are written in Quantum Grammar Construct.

Introduction to Syntax has been happening for some years, on a global scale. Australia Post is aware of factual language. That is, language is a linear equation in algebra. This has to be learnt and applied by the machinery of authority and applied to all forms of contract that our systems implement. Eliminating misinterpretations of the words used in all forms of contracts between people.

First, we need a referendum to establish a true factual language. Meaning, the Voice referendum can use true words to construct the true meaning of the Voice referendum. That will prove to everyone that there is a true mathematically proven correct meaning that we vote for. Eliminating any misunderstandings between all people. Reference: See YouTube and search, David Wynn Miller videos.
