Can these universes be mutual subsets? I'm grappling with the incompleteness theorems as they pertain to statements that are not contained in the set of possibilities which they describe, as in Gödel Escher Bach when discussing ideas foundational to Hofstadter's strange loop concept. The self-descriptive nature of information or lack thereof, essentially the existence of recursion without exclusion of the seed itself is stretching my mind. I think I need to start G.E.D. from the beginning (i.e. re-read the 40 pages I made it through).
