This paper develops a computability and logic framework based on the Unbounded Nested Number Sequences (UNNS) substrate. We show how recursive sequences embody computability, how UNNS constants act as logical invariants, and how paradoxes such as Gödel incompleteness and Carroll's regress stabilize under UNNS repair rules. The approach unifies recursion, proof, and program within an operator grammar that can be extended toward a computational logic discipline.
1 Introduction
Recursion underlies both computability and logic. The UNNS substrate offers a natural framework for rethinking logic: inference as inlaying, implication as inletting, collapse as contradiction, and repair as normalization.
2 UNNS Sequences as Recursive Programs
an+r = c₁an+r-1 + ··· + cran
UNNS sequences are defined by recurrence relations with integer coefficients and nesting rules that allow recursions within coefficients themselves. This corresponds directly to primitive recursive programs.

3 UNNS Constants as Logical Invariants
Lemma 3.1: UNNS coefficients belong to algebraic integer rings.
Constants such as φ (golden ratio), e, π, and the UNNS Paradox Index (UPI) arise as invariants. These constants stabilize recursion analogous to axioms stabilizing inference.

4 Gödel and UNNS Collapse
Theorem 4.1 (UNNS Incompleteness): Every sufficiently expressive UNNS system generates undecidable nests.
Gödel encoding maps provability predicates into recursive sequences. Self-reference corresponds to a nest calling itself, which collapses under the collapse operator, indicating undecidability.
5 Turing Machines in UNNS
A UNNS tape is a nested sequence space indexed by integers, where each tape symbol is represented by a finite recurrence state. Turing transitions correspond to inlaying/inletting operators, while the halting condition corresponds to collapse.
UNNS provides a natural computability and logic substrate. Recursion, constants, collapse, and repair give rise to a full operational grammar that can model proofs and programs.
