I (surprise!) demur. 1) We don't know of any "unsolvable paradoxes", only paradoxes which haven't yet been solved. 2) Self-reference may be an inherent feature of symbolic systems, but that does not imply that paradox is. 3) Existence cannot exhibit contradictions. Existence can only exhibit truths & truths cannot be contradictory.
