Re: the self-referential universe
it's late and my state is altered, but your post reminds me of the idea that I am God, and that I invented myself and the world out of nothing.
for example, the world does not really exist, i am merely imagining it.
if the world doesn't exist, then how am i able to exist to imagine myself? given the rules of my imaginary world, i could exist, therefore i can exist in said imagination.
the mechanism is similar to your self-referential sentance.
this is essentially the same idea (that i saw mentioned in another thread here) that says: everything that possibly could happen is happening, all at once, in different planes/worlds.
