Reus B., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2016. 348 pp. Type: Book (978-3-319278-87-2)
In the early 1990s, a chance encounter with Douglas Hofstadter’s book Godel, Escher, Bach [1], an eclectic synthesis of philosophy, physics, and (dare I say it) computer science, left me intrigued about concepts of dec...
