Shall we bootstrap?

Starting a computer is called “boot(strapp)ing,” which originates from a story where a man stuck in a bottomless swamp lifted himself out of danger using his bootstraps. This method of solving problems using only internal conditions, without external information, is called “bootstrapping” and has become a trend in twenty-first-century theoretical physics. Could the ultimate laws of physics be determined solely by internal consistency without external inputs? Indeed, bootstrapping methods can solve challenging problems in physics such as the beginning of the universe, phase transitions of matter, and the structure of nuclear force. To elucidate the fundamental law of nature in a unified manner, shall we bootstrap?
