Recursive Café: An Infinitely Recursive Dialogue on Consciousness
2025-09-18
Philosophy student Alex and the enigmatic Claude (possibly AI, possibly human) discuss Haskell's type system at Lambda Grounds café. The conversation spirals from nested functions to the nature of consciousness, culminating in the startling conclusion that consciousness might be the fixed point of universal computation—a self-replicating loop mirroring Buddhist Nirvana. The dialogue itself becomes an example of infinite recursion, the reader finding themselves embedded within a dialogue about creating dialogues about consciousness, ultimately merging with the universe's computation.
