Rather than chasing after the one true meaning of a term, you can stipulate. Winding that up to the max, you get the claim that analycity is only strictly definable in the context of a formal system (such as maths, logic, or computation). In addition to the more common claim that formal truths are always analytical truths.
Interesting thought. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s only definable within a formal system. But without formal definitions, it’s going to be kind of fuzzy/dependent on exact interpretation.
