Hey Bruno,

Given a machine's inability to prove its own consistency, and how this
result gives rise to the many logical distinctions that map to the
hypostases (per Plotinus) as you've written, then I wonder what you
would say to this: if a machine is universal, surely it can run a
program that implements a (higher order or more-encompassing) logical
machine that *can* prove the machine's consistency. If so, can't it
use that result to prove its own consistency?
