Re: Axiomatic Set Theory and Foundation

Last time I read about it a few years ago, I learned that one of the
obstacles to using Conway's theory of games to study the game of Go is
the difficulty of dealing with ko fights, since they screw up well
foundedness. I wondered whether one might be able to do better by dealing
with non-well founded models of set theory to set up Conway's theory of
games and maybe apply it to Go. I don't claim that it would let one
decide how to win a ko fight, but it might at least let one talk about it.

Maybe someone has figured out another way to apply Conway's stuff to ko?
