The address was a word of thanks and an explainer: an answer to how work of mine can fall under those statutes. The main chord struck: the "and" conjoining the three areas of linguistics, mathematics and philosophy, reasonably read as an "or", might just take on a literal sense when the field is formal semantics, at the cross-section of all three.
