Reading 'A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines' by Janna Levin I'm struck by one of the characters noting that 'We wanted to construct complete worldviews, complete and consistent theories and philosophies, perfect solutions where everything could find its place. But we cannot. ... We all prize a resolution, a gratifying ending, completeness and unity, but we are surrounded by incompleteness'.
