This is an ancient story that I would be embarrassed for anyone to read and intend to leave where it is. However I could send you my latest one, although it is unfinished... mind you so was that one. I seem to have a problem with finishing... On 23 December 2013 01:53, Bruno Marchal wrote: > Hi

Hello Stephen, Does there really need to be a single level of the UD? ? What is the UD is intersecting with itself an infinite number of times? The UD emulates itself infinitely often, with all codes, that is: relatively to all universal numbers. Is there a relationship. may

Dear Bruno, Does there really need to be a single level of the UD? What is the UD is intersecting with itself an infinite number of times? Is there a relationship. maybe an isomorphism, between the UD and the set of Godel numbers of the UD? After all, there does not exist a unique universal G

The unexpected surprise is the jump up the "reductionist food chain" in the last frame. On 20 December 2013 14:15, Craig Weinberg wrote: > If it's all just math, what is the unexpected surprise that makes it > funny? Is math surprised that its math? > > > On Wednesday, December 18, 2013 2:07:47

That looks familiar. Have you posted it before? (Or maybe I just saw a cartoon like it once...) Because when you consider it, there are really only a few jokes, and some can be considered as basically just elaborations of simpler ones. ...skipping to the end, Jerry whacks Tom with a frying pan a
