winner gets free copy of tiktoc03.

interesting to wonder too about the implications of the error if it were allowed to stand. an unstable feedback situation methinks. the problem with meta-anything. the problem with looping, self analysis, self referential-ness.; 15 March 2009 at 21:35
Mocksim said...: spot the error in the comment above. luckily this is un-interesting.; 15 March 2009 at 21:37
Anja Raben said...: there is no error if you remove the looping and self referential and pre 'ordained' structural thinking. I think 'meta' is ok it's just a question of getting of at the right stop...in the 'meta bus route' as it were.; 16 March 2009 at 07:47
Mocksim said...: correct equation you'll recall is:

X is equal to (minus B plus or minus (the squared root of B squared minus four AC)) all over 2A

not A is equal to...

Correct bus stop is where?; 16 March 2009 at 17:43
