I've been practicing Transcendental Meditation for twelve years.
The quality of self-reference is interesting because it points to
the unmanifest area of the Transcendental Absolute. When a science
has reached the point of being able to express and theorize about
itself and to have the quality of self-reference, then it has reached
a point of maturity that does justice to Pure Consciousness.
Anyone interested in the understanding and experience of self-
reference and its role in modern science can contact the local TM
Center. Look in the phone book under "Transcendental Meditation."
And while you're thinking about that, why don't you look into Kant's

engineering? Teknowledge has a very nice expert-system-building tool,
S1, which follows the Kantian organization of mind. This architecture
also follows Nils Nilsson's three-part production system as presented
in his <>. Consider this:
