From "Through The Wormhole" S02E01 where Douglas Hofstadter explains his belief about the human soul through the death of his wife, very touching and intriguing. All rights reserved to "Science Channel"
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).
