:: The Sand Fence <--> Snow Fence loop used to exist, but the articles have now been substantially updated. Like you've noted, Sand Fence now reaches Philosophy, and thus so does Snow Fence (which still links to Sand Fence). --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 08:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

::: I get stuck in the Sand Fence <--> Snow Fence loop! Except you hit the cleanup link in the cleanup-banner. But how did you get to Sand Fence in the first place ? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.253.144|108.162.253.144]] 00:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 
  
 
Saying that everything ends up in "philosophy" is simply choosing from a long list of possible entries to suit an argument.  I found it much more interesting, having gotten to philosophy, to keep going through the loop, then to see where certain pages drop you into said loop.  The loop currenty is reality, existence, world, human, hominini, tribe, biology, natural science, sciences, knowledge, fact, proof, necessity and sufficiency, logic, reason, consciousness, quality (philosophy), property (philosophy), modern philosophy, then finally philosophy.  It's as if we've stumbled upon a new classification of knowledge.  If only we could look recursively at ALL the things that lead into a certain topic in the loop.  For example, goat drops you into the loop at biology, which makes perfect sense, but Volvo drops you in at natural sciences from a very convoluted path which includes physics, time, dimension, list of time periods, and scandinavia.  In other words, it's the journey not the destination that I find interesting. - naginalf [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.40|108.162.216.40]] 15:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
