Volume 6 — Meta-Logic and Reflexivity

Self-Reference and Incompleteness in Golden-Base Systems

This volume explores the meta-logical properties of φ-constrained systems. Through Gödel coding, fixed points, and self-reference, we discover the inherent limitations and paradoxes that arise when collapse structures attempt to describe themselves.
