Dear Hal,

    This self-reference and self-containment is not a problem if one merely
assumes the anti-foundation axiom (set theory) instead of the usual axiom.
It is obvious, at least to me, that the totality of Existence must be all
inclusive, thus is Complete and co-Complete (includes all representations of
itself).
    It seems that we are stripping over the fact that we are playing around
with finite representations of the Totality and might be neglective the
consequences. ;-)

Onward!

Stephen
