Yes, it does seem to be a consistent construct. However, one of the results of this construct is that no construct in itself can ever be used to prove the consistency of a given construct. This is what Gödel's theorem proved for just regular arithmetic. As such, there really is no way to truly know whether the construct of computer science - or anything with mathematics for that matter - is really consistent.

Isn't that how life is, though?

From the sublime to the ridiculous again. Yay!

Isn't "There and back again" the subtitle of The Hobbit? (The Road goes ever on and on...)

[westerling.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is. :)
