Löbian entities appearing there.
This is what make explanations possible. Many seem to want matter and
consciousness primitive, because they don't accept that we can explain
them from non material and non conscious things. But we can do that,
even if that includes some part necessarily obscure, for logical
reason, as there is an arithmetical blind spot for arithmetical creatures.

Hi Bruno,
It makes sense for this to be true because if we can interact with
something, that something can interact with us. If knowledge or
explanation is a form of interaction, it makes sense that there is a
symmetrical relation involved. The mutual partial blind spot may be a
place where something hides.
