Someone should put a screenshot of the article in that article.

But how much stack space would you need?

I'm reminded of I Am a Strange Loop and Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. About recursiveness being at the heart of consciousness.

There's a thesis that all particles are information, and all information is functional, thus perception is merely the lazy evaluation of the universe.
