Building a Quine from Kleene's Second Recursion Theorem
Original: Constructing a Quine from Kleene's Second Recursion Theorem Article URL: https:// emarzion.github.io/KSRT/ Comments URL:
A new technical article walks through how to construct a quine, a self-reproducing program, directly from Kleene's second recursion theorem, connecting a classic result in computability theory to hands-on programming. The piece is being shared among developers and theoretical computer science enthusiasts, who are reading it as an accessible bridge between abstract mathematics and working code.
Why now: The article offers a rare practical demonstration of a foundational theorem, which appeals to programmers and theorists interested in self-referential computation.
