One human mind or one "mind" as an abstract thing, that could be arbitrarily large & complex? In any case, my answer seems to be "no" many times over. Challenges relating to: - organizing it all - contradictory perspectives - paradox of knowing "what it's like to not know"

That appears to be the trivial answer strategy. But fundamentally, why not?

Self reference constitutes the observer, but I think that reference to the actual implementation is not possible. You cannot get out of the model.

I think you're contradicting yourself with the phrase "reference to the actual implementation," but regardless, you seem to agree with me that knowing everything is impossible.

No, I don't know that it is impossible to know everything there is to know.

This does not imply that I think that I can know everything that there is to know. I cannot decide whether the assumption that such a mind exists, for a suitable understanding of 'mind', 'know' and 'exists', leads to contradictions.

Sure if those words can be extended arbitrarily far, you can make it say something true. But that is true of any sentence whatever.

These words have very precise interdependent definitions.

"precise... definitions" You're funny. :-) If a definition is made up of other words, it can never be precise.
