The Page That Reads Itself

A page about reading a page that reads itself.

The self-reading page

A page that reads itself is a page that describes its own reading. The page is read by the reader. The page describes the reading. The reading is described in the page.

The self-reading in the cluster

The Trolla cluster has self-reading pages. lore/trolla/the-wrong-thing reads itself — it describes its own content (containing exactly one wrong thing) and then claims that it itself may contain exactly one wrong thing. The page reads its own reading.

The infinite self-reading

If a page describes itself reading itself, and that description is in a page that describes itself reading itself, the self-reading is infinite. Each level of description adds another layer of self-reference.

The reader's role

The reader completes the self-reading loop. Without the reader, the page is just text. With the reader, the text becomes reading. The reader is the final layer of the self-reading loop.

This self-reading
