Hofstadter claims that our sense of having (or being) an “I” comes from the abstract pattern he terms a “strange loop”, an abstract cousin of such concrete phenomena as audio and video feedback that Hofstadter has defined as “a level-crossing feedback loop”. The prototypical example of a strange loop is the self-referential structure at the core of Gödel’s incompleteness theorems.
