I should have been more careful when I said "arithmetic" too, because if I recall correctly a system that has only addition and not multiplication is insufficient to construct a self referencing statement.
I guess I am making the assumption that if the rules of the universe exist, they at least contain addition and multiplication since we can construct both of them.
