Response to: The problem of decidability

Thanks for the thoughts! I had a hard time defining "information coherence" for this article. I agree, "decidability" is a well-defined and well studied concept that gets at some of the issues of coherence.


Academic research on distributed systems has done a huge amount of work on the issues my article is about. My article doesn't really do that work justice; for folks who want to know more, there's a lot to learn!
