Hi all
A hypothetical explanation of what is happening in CHerniak's story is
basically, saying that thought or idea may have the power to arrest human
thought, by virtue of paradox. As in the story describe that it is first
discovered on a computer, with the user staring intensely at the computer
screen. The paradox becomes known as 'The Riddle'and later it turns out the
disease becomes known as the 'Riddle Coma' afterword it spreads which turns a
human to be unresponsive. This bring to my knowleadge that of what Christopher
Cherniak's trying to prove is that humans are mostly irrational.
I think it is similar to a Recursive method which calling itself until the
information is being overloaded and it just crash. In the Dizzard and the few
other victims cases basically as soon as they read the line in this case like
calling the recursive method it forces the human mind to process without self
control until the brain cannot accepted anymore and then become
unresponsive(crash).
Which bring us to the Formal self-reference in Gödel's theorems.
