sotto voce: where are you +?


in mathematics the irrational designates some thing that cannot be described by 
a ratio of 2 natural numbers. for example, a form of a quadratic equation like
x^2 = 2 cannot exist; rather, it is expressed in the formula x = 2/x. 

x is thus a prerequisite to knowing x. in that case, isn't what the pythagorean
school confronted in the aforementioned equation already the self-referential
paradox +? a prohibition of the irrational number is in fact equal to the prohibition
of self-referentiality. however, in the context of post-cartesian, modern mathematics,
the same equation as described in x = sqrt2; and, by treating sqrt2 as a number,
the paradox is dissolved.

nevertheless, the whole movement of this expansion (invention) of numbers was
driven by a series of crises--paradox and solution--and ultimately reached cantor,
who regarded even the infinite as a number and then ended up reencountering the
paradox of self-referentiality. but it does not end there. george spencer-brown
resolved the paradox of self-referentiality by formulating it into another quadratic
equation, which francisco varela used to theorize self-organizing networks. these 
examples from the current scene, however, neither diminish nor render obsolete
the importance of gödel's proof. mathematics is
constantly being invented by shifts of concept.
