    The purpose of this paper is to introduce a category-theoretic pattern that complements the \textit{F. W. Lawvere} fixed-point theorem [Repr. Theory Appl. Categ. 2006, No. 15, 1--13 (2006; Zbl 1089.18004); Category Theory Homology Theory Appl., Proc. Conf. Seattle Res. Center Battelle Mem. Inst. 1968, 2, 134--145 (1969; Zbl 0218.18002)]. The author produces a construction for indirect self-reference that applies directly both to situations in ordinary languages and to Gödel's incompleteness theorem [\textit{K. Gödel}, Monatsh. Math. Phys. 38, 173--198 (1931; Zbl 0002.00101; JFM 57.0054.02)]. The paper is in the lines of the author's ones [Kybernetes 34, No. 1--2, 129--150 (2005; Zbl 1073.03003); Syst. Res. 13, No. 3, 293--310 (1996; Zbl 0860.03007); Ser. Knots Everything 6, 1--110 (1995; Zbl 1149.03301)].
