Personal bests as reference points [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Personal bests act as reference points. Examining 133 million chess games, we find that players exert effort to set new personal best ratings and quit once they have done so.

Fixed points and self-reference [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1984 It is shown how Gödel's famous diagonal argument and a generalization of the recursion theorem are derivable from a common construation. The abstract fixed point theorem of this article is independent of both metamathematics and recursion theory and is ...
