<Snipped quote by Legend>

The concept itself being influenced by its own concept.


Ah, at least our perception of the concept.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

A veritable loop of logic.


A loop in what sense of the term?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Right. In layman's terms, not good.


Although, according to determinism, they were always destined to be unnerved by its very concept.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Even still. There's bliss in confidence in knowledge, and as long as no one proves there's an issue, there's no reason to lose that bliss.


And still a fear of losing the concept of control.

I understand the importance of everything being consistent like that, but the show the chaos would put on would really be something else.

And honestly, it won't bother me if no one ever bears any fruit on experiments like that.


Possibility three still provides for some exotic interpretations, sans much of the danger.

Sad, it's the most entertaining.


And the most concerning. I see the appeal of the third position, and yet also recognize the satisfaction of a solvable, deterministic reality.

Not at all, just purely conjecture.


Certainly. My intuition is that of the three possible realities, this thought experiment is the least likely.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

I mean, it wouldn't be able to be described on principle. It'd definitely be incomprehensible.


Perhaps. But our words aren’t exactly formal systems.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Sounds a bit outlandish, but I do get it.


There’s also the question of what a physical contradiction would look like, rather than a purely logical one. It may be incomprehensible.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

You’re implying people believe it could be an infectious phenomenon, essentially?


Some believe so. Catastophrophists claim such a discovery could lead to complete collapse. I consider such an outcome unlikely.
