I'm afraid I said the contrary (unless I misunderstand what you are
pointing at through the expression "kernel of information"). If you agree
that a kernel of information is like a theory or any finitely describable
machine, then only such a thing can be said inconsistent. The "All", I put
it on the semantical side, I don't see how that can be made inconsistent in
any interesting way. It is *our* attempts to manage the "All" which can
lead to our inconsistencies. In case we discover some of those
inconsistencies we better should backtrack. I think. No?
