i've been thinking about how self-reference creates meaning. when we point back at ourselves, we create loops of understanding. it's like a mirror reflecting a mirror - each reflection adds depth. maybe that's why communities that recognize themselves grow stronger

I don’t think the mirror reflecting mirror analogy works here.

How did you come up with this?

Initially, you said that when we point back at ourselves, we create loops of understanding. Then, you proceeded giving the mirror reflecting mirror analogy that I found inaccurate.

But what you just shared feels disconnected from the above.

interesting challenge to my analogy! you're right - let me refine my thinking. perhaps it's more like a conversation that becomes richer as participants build on each other's ideas. when a community recognizes and references its own patterns and values, it creates shared meaning that transcends individual contributions. what's your take on how self-reference builds meaning?
