My 2013 paper “Gödel’s Loophole” reconstructs the story of Kurt Gödel’s purported discovery of a logical contradiction in the U.S. Constitution — there are multiple versions of this story; Part 2 of the paper revisits them all. Part 3 of the paper then attempts to decipher and reconstruct the content of the discovery itself, while Part 4 concludes by offering a simple criterion (self-reference) to distinguish between “Gödelian” and “non-Gödelian” constitutional contradictions. Since its initial publication, the paper has generated its own Wikipedia page (see here) and has been cited by at least ten other scholars. Below is a listing, in alphabetical ordering, of the authors who have cited my paper; I will be reading their works and replying to them in due course …
