On The Halting Problem

Louis H. Kauffman

p. 3-20

    Abstract

    This paper discusses the presence of undecidable problems in mathematics, with reference to the halting problem for algorithms, the hypergame paradox and the paradox of the well-founded sets. All these results are curiously related to self-reference and the strange loop by which a self-observing system can indicate its own operations to itself.
