 Self-reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Self-reference also occurs in literature when an author refers to his or her work in the context of the work itself.
Reference is possible when there are two logical levels, a level and a meta-level.
The Examples section of this article refers to itself.

 A:Construction of Self
All utterances with self reference forms were isolated and coded in terms of a multi-level coding scheme which examined various semantic and pragmatic factors related to the degree of agency and control expressed in clauses surrounding usage of these forms.
They rarely used self reference forms when referring to self as agent and when doing so it always was in the context of a permission request to the child, thereby down-playing their own agentivity.
The self is something which has a development; it is not initially there, at birth, but arises in the process of social experience and activity, that is, develops in the given individual as a result of his relations to that process as a whole and to other individuals within that process (p.135).

Targets which indirectly refer to an internal target become one-hop indirect (their "refid" attributes are directly set to the internal target's "id").
When resolving the numbering, a ``label`` element is added to the beginning of the ``footnote``, and reference text to the ``footnote_reference``.
The labels and reference text are added to the auto-numbered ``footnote`` and ``footnote_reference`` elements.

The resulting reference to `x' comes indirectly from the expansion of `x', so it is a self-reference and is not further expanded.
However, the expansion of `x' contains a reference to `y', and that is an indirect self-reference now because `y' is "in progress".
Then the use of `x' in the expansion of `y' is not a self-reference because `x' is not "in progress".

 Damjan Bojadziev: Perlis on Strong and Weak Self-Reference - A Mirror Reversal
As soon as the formal system is interpreted (to refer, in the standard case, to numbers), some of its sentences turn out to refer to themselves, and some of its theorems turn out to express the corresponding statements of self-reference (insofar as they can be expressed within the formal system itself).
On the formal side, the interpretation of reference as seeing is even more productive: the self-reference of Gödel's sentence is then comparable to seeing oneself in a mirror.
This referring must find its way back to its origin through its own emergence from it, which means that it must somehow involve itself in the way it proceeds to its target/origin.

"Indirect self-reference" is one of the richest and most vivid of his conceptions; it is, he argues, a crucial process of our minds when we correct ourselves, solve puzzles, engage in interpretations.
Nor could proofs in meta-mathematics make reference to infinite numbers of strings or operations since such infinite sets had created paradoxes and confusion in the mathematics of the time.
Without some ability to refer back to our own mental activity, and to transform it, intelligence itself would be impossible.

 Computability, Self-Reference, and Self-Amendment
So long, we have been moving in the abstract domain, discussing computer programs and their ability (or inability) to express self- reference and self-modifications, and we discussed very general causal mechanisms that acted on essentially undefined primitives.
Lòfgren [1968] has shown that the axiom of complete self-reference is independent from set theory and logic, and can therefore be added to it as a new primitive.
Constructivism was initiated by mathematicians, like Kronecker and, above all, Brouwer, who felt uncomfortable with indirect proofs and implicit definitions, and in general with anything that was not directly accessible or tangible within mathematics.

Reference fixing sentences do not pass their properties (contingency, vagueness, indexicality, etc.) on to the sentences they rigidly designate.

 ejap 6:3: Brinck, "Self-identification and self-reference"
In giving the self two roles, both as source and receiver, or as subject and object, a gap opens up that may be difficult to patch up.
As regards "I", the referent is identical with the subject that has those experiences which constitute the foundation for the de re senses.
As I see it, they permit the speaker to focus her attention on the referent and give her the means to discriminate it from its surroundings by its non-relational properties.

 Galen Strawson: The Self
The substantival phrase ‘the self’ is very unnatural in most speech contexts in most languages, and some conclude from this that it’s an illusion to think that there is such a thing as the self, an illusion that arises from nothing more than an improper use of language.
This is that the mental self is standardly thought to be single in the two ways just characterized both when it is considered (3) synchronically, or as a thing existing at a given time, and when it is considered (4) diachronically, i.e.
I think there is a real philosophical problem about the existence and nature of the self, not just a relatively uninteresting problem about why we think there’s a problem.

Paradoxes which are not based on a hidden error generally happen at the fringes of context or language, and require extending the context (or language) to lose their paradox quality.

 Review of Buridan on Self-Reference
That is, the argument captured by (1)-(5) is meant to be at least an indirect response to the standard arguments for (A)'s falsity.
After all, the champion of the argument expressed by (1)-(5) will reject the standard arguments for (A)'s falsity precisely because he has what he takes to be a sound argument showing that (A) is false only if it is also true.
Accordingly, I will be content to describe Buridan's strategy in rough outline and then to focus on a limited, though significant, problem which both Buridan and Hughes have, I think, neglected to face up to.

 Consequences of a Token-Based Semantics
For given the direct as well as indirect self-referential capabilities of natural languages, it can be shown that different token expressions of the same type can have different logical properties on account of being different tokens, one with, and another without, indirect reference to itself.
Natural languages obviously abound with self-referential expressions, indeed, all sorts of indirect self-referential means that give rise to inferences which in principle ought to be able to be captured even by ordinary quantification theory.
Therefore, the atemporal proposition is just as self-falsifying as Buridan’s occurrent temporary proposition or the sentence-token is. Clearly, referring to atemporal propositions in the definition of a valid consequence only addresses Buridan’s first problem with this definition, namely, the possible non-existence of the proposition that figures as the consequent of an intuitively valid consequence.

 Damjan Bojadziev: Self-reference in Phenomenology and Cognitive Science
Namely, the self-reference of a sentence on which arithmetical incompleteness depends is indirect, by way of a numerical code: the sentence refers to a certain number which belongs to that sentence itself under some system of numeric coding of sentences as numbers.
This second role of diagonalization, in the formula on which it is used, brings about self-reference as reference of the sentence P(d(f)) to its own number.
The code thus functions as a numerical mirror for indirectly refering to expressions as numbers, the way mirrors are used for seeing objects as virtual images.

Statement A not only refers to a statement, it refers to itself, Statement A. Perhaps the root problem is this self reference.
Preventing a statement from referring to itself is too weak--if we only prevent it from directly referring to itself.
And Argument 2, which attempts to prove that Sentence A is also not not true, fails: Argument 2 refers to the proposition which is expressed by Sentence A, but Sentence A doesn't express any propositions.
