   Can anyone direct me toward any viable theories of meaning that do not

   foundation of meaning?

Yes, Ray Jackendoff's "conceptual semantics" is explicitly non-truth
functional. See in particular the two books below:

Jackendoff, R. (1983) Semantics and Cognition, MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass.
Jackendoff, R. (1991?) Semantic Structures, MIT Press.
