Math and Poetry meet again...

Today I went to a colloquium on the computability of self-referential machines...can you tell?

Game Theoretic


He told me I shut down and close off some things some times.
You cannot successfully argue with that assertion.
You can only circle down the drain of the Liars Paradox.
But I didn't want to argue, anyway.
I just wanted to ask
"When?"

Now,
I'm just arguing with myself.
What rooms in my own house
have I forgotten existed?
What windows have been shut for so long
I think the walls are endless?
I can circle myself in logic
but only as spirals.
Holding an apple
doesn't make it an apple.
Truth is relative.
But I...
I am lying now.
