Now the formulation of this system creates a new job and problem: how to improve the processing of jobs. So it adds a new problem to the stack.
Now since the consideration of jobs and problems is itself a job and a problem it means that we can never revolutionise this level of reality. It is a normative given that we must accept within the paradigm of problem/solution.
So any model of something (a diagram so to speak of the component parts) can only be about itself if it agrees entirely with itself. A tautology in other words.
A statement can be about itself positively or negatively. If the statement is always positive then there is no problem, but there is no truth either as it is a tautology. If at any point it is negative about itself them there is the liar paradox. Now the liar paradox is famously odd. I suggest for now that its nature is the opposite of a Tautology which if it is Always True or False is Always neither True nor False. This is a non-logical statement with no truth content but so is a tautology in this argument since Always True or False has no truth content either! The only non-value in Logic is the contradiction which forces re-examination of assumptions, so maybe Tautologies and Paradoxes work like contradictions also.
I realise there is a confusion here between types of Truth. Deductive Truth works by tautology e.g. "¬(A & B) === ¬A v ¬B" (equivalent). While Inductive truth depends upon the possibility of falsehood. "Ducks === Ducks" has no information value.
OK need to think that thru...
So the SRH suggestion is that any existence of self-reference forces us to abandon Truth Content leaving the statement/system vacuous.
