From a New Yorker  theatre review posted at 5 AM ET today —

“A Strange Loop” takes its title from a concept pioneered by
Douglas Hofstadter, the cognitive-science professor who
wrote the book “Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid”
and, later, the more focussed study “I Am a Strange Loop”;
both were premised upon the impossibly complex, hopelessly
circular means by which each of us composes a self, an “I.”

Tomorrowland , which also posits a futuristic world that exists in an
alternative dimension, Nichols sighed. 'I was a little bummed, I guess,'
he said of when he first learned about the project. . . . 'Our die was cast.
Sometimes this kind of collective unconscious that we're all dabbling in,
sometimes you're not the first one out of the gate.' "
