Now as to, Also, note that if this loop itself can be percieved and acted upon (self awareness), mathematical chaos ensues. Care to expand?

If you think of this as an iterative mathematic function, you can see how [link\|http://hypertextbook.com/chaos/\|chaos] enters the picture.

Thought perhaps you were exrapolating math to homo-saps doing a complete inventory and finding [their own loopiness?] (Actually, those who claim to have finished the inventory - always seem quite peaceful and unchaotic) A.

It may be neccessary, but certainly isn't sufficient, for enlightenment. The level of sophistication needed for self awareness, compared to that needed to attain that peaceful unchaotic state, is like comparing the functioning of a coma patient with that of a serious athlete.
