Abstract
- Natural language as an example of a structural system is compared to programming language as a constructive system through analysis of how differently humans and computers process self-reference. An alternative handling of the halting problem in computer systems holds the key to a more natural computer environment and enables a greater understanding of human thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
