  • Can a movie exist within a movie and that movie within a third as Douglas Hostadter posed in GEB (1979). Nolan DID THIS by INCEPTION (2010). The now famous code 528-491, so overly simple as AN EQUATION, is solved with the resultant 37. Is Nolan attempting a deep conversation with Hofstader about Zen Buddhism, men "devot[ing] their lives to convincing other people that [a] system really is there, and that it ought to be existed from! (page 37, GEB).

  • @iamastrangeloop, nice user name. And I second your recommendation.

  • @version191 Now that's a bit rude.

  • Read "I Am A Strange Loop" by Hofstadter for a full explanation of DH's ideas re the soul
