You gotta watch those if/then loops - you don't want a halting problem. Note that this is a moral concern, not a logical one. Here's this idiot in love with Gwyneth Paltrow - that's irrational - but the naive philosophy being forwarded is sound; in that Reason is axiomatic.

This if/then loop is a "whole number consideration being applied to faction of fractions," whereas truth in philosophy is foundational. From truth, schools of philosophy and naive philosophers; and both of those branches tend to grow out "over the water," so to speak. But truth is a self-contained renormalizer. Don't sweat the decimals; they'll get rounded out.
