Are contradictions the result of SRH?

Google Chrome stores its bookmarks in a json file with the hash key at the start. Does this hash include itself. Well obviously not, otherwise we'd be looking a very long time to find the hash that hashes the bookmark file that contains itself.

Self reference adds some very strict conditions on things. And we can see that these conditions lead very easily to contradictions: or where not concerned with True/False more broadly "schisms" where something is not what is should be. In the rules of chrome bookmark json files the hash "should" be the hash of the bookmarks.

So I learn from this post to relax the SRH a bit. The issue of self-reference is just the unique nature of the constraints that it adds: I need to understand this. But also that it is not a matter of True/False only but "schisms" in the rules of any system that includes itself, or a feature of itself.

Tho note that hash doesn't not enforce total self-reference: hash collisions means that we can find a solution to the google chrome bookmark self included hash problem. If hashs had a one-to-one relationship with what they hash we can arrive a problem with no solution: e.g. "I am a lie" where "I" completely encompasses the sentence so no refuge to escape the constraints.
