Interesting. I reviewd the live-bootstrap project (a project to build a trusted C compiler for building Linux) in the past years, including writing a Linux on i368 simulator/interpreter, and gave a presentation about this at WHY2025.

Assigning 11 to mean "v" in the sequence "\v" sounds like replacing words (or letters) with numbers.

Is that related to Godel's idea that a system can be either complete or inconsistent?
