Complexity of Loops
“... within a procedure, fascinating problems exist - for example, verifying the correctness of a loop, one of the most complex structures in logic.”

Strange Consciousness
“My belief is that the explanations of emergent phenomena in our brains — for instance, ideas, hopes, images, analogies, and finally consciousness and free will — are based on a kind of Strange Loop, an interaction between levels in which the top loop reaches back down towards the bottom level and influences it, while at the same time being itself determined by the bottom level. In other words, a self-reinforcing resonance between different levels.”
