Is Scripture a Strange Loop/Mobius Strip?


Since the Word is ...

  • "living
  • active
  • sharper than any double-edged sword"

... of course in some sense it is both
  • Loop .............and
  • Mobius,

and bigger than both..

..but they can't be as perfectly looped/Mobiused as God (such would be bibliolatry).

AND it just hit me that a double-edged sword would by defintion looped and Mobiused.

If you need some info on the terms in my post title:

  • See this on Strange Loop,
(and this on theological implications thereof).


(and this on theological implications thereof),


Eco:

"Even though the senses of the Scriptures are indefinite, none of them annuls the others, each increasingly enriching this immense storage of meanings...perhaps a Mobius Ring"
-"Semiotics and The Philosophy of Language" p. 150


Maybe chiastic-matrix a better term...
is that loopy enough?
