I Am a Strange Loop
Douglas Hofstadter
By definition, a strange loop is a “level-crossing feedback loop”
There is not a single reference to a serious laboratory experiment, and Hofstadter even claims that the physical structure of the brain is as irrelevant in the explanation of consciousness as the chemical composition of molecules in the air would be to the sensation of music. He thus makes no effort whatsoever to show how the brain is able to sustain his strange loop;
Shadows of the Mind (Vintage, 1995), also heavily relies on Gödel’s work, it hardly overlaps with I Am a Strange Loop.
