Random Dynamics 365 Brain Teaser


There is an entity in the entities table called "entity"..... Why do I find this funny?


Gemini gives me a beautiful response:

That's a great observation! It's funny because it's a bit of a self-referential paradox or a recursive definition.

Think about it:

  • You're looking for information about all the entities in your system.

  • That information is stored in a table... which itself is an entity.

  • And that entity's name is simply "entity".

It's like saying, "To find out what a 'word' is, look in the 'word' dictionary." Or, "The class that defines all classes is called 'Class'." It's a bit of a logical loop that makes you chuckle because it's so straightforward yet wonderfully circular. It's often found in programming and database design, and it's a common source of amusement for those of us who deal with data structures!
