Abstract
There are many problems and possibilities relevant to the new paradigm, especially in regard to the relation between formal systems and natural language, that must be investigated. I have already touched on some of them, but, since Hofstadter’s ideas concerning meaning are obviously interlocked with his ideas concerning formal systems and natural language, those latter ideas should be addressed first, to preserve continuity, before I turn to the ideas of others.
