  1. Fernando Rosas (unfortunately not on Mastodon) asked on bsky:

    "Has anyone figured out what exactly is the relation between the ideas of feedback, recurrence, and self-reference?"

    A really interesting question.

    He pointed to this paper for ideas: arxiv.org/abs/1711.02456
    "Self-referential basis of undecidable dynamics: from The Liar Paradox and The Halting Problem to The Edge of Chaos"

    I did some desk research and found this cool paper:
    arxiv.org/abs/1112.2141
    "Resolving Gödel's Incompleteness Myth: Polynomial Equations and Dynamical Systems for Algebraic Logic"
    that argues there is no essential incompleteness in formal reasoning systems if you look closely enough (using a more elaborate formalism based on polynomial equations to represent and evaluate logical proposition).

    I wonder if analogous construction could be created for related theorems like the halting problem in computability theory.
