Strange Seasons
Strange Codes, Strange Loops, Strange Seasons. Twenty-five centuries of people finding the same structure. Nobody drew the line — until somebody carried all the channels at once.

Twenty-Five Centuries of the Same Idea
Buddha, Jung, Lacan, Gödel, McCulloch, Lipsett, Hofstadter — thirteen thinkers across twenty-five centuries found the same structure. The observer observing itself.
