On the Physiological Generation of Antinomies and Paradoxes
It has been proposed that subconscious retro-prediction in conjunction with brain state update cycles are instrumental in the physiological generation of conscious sensations and perceptions, and in all abstract thought. In this contribution, the hypothesis is supported by conducting
a detailed re-evaluation of the selfreferential statements in set theory and formal logic known as antinomies. This study concludes that the recursive behavior exhibited by abstract enigmas such as 'Russell's Paradox' is analogous to the oscillations typical of bistable perceptual
phenomena.
