Recursive Structure
🧩
Overview
A recursive structure is a system where elements refer back to, extend, or transform earlier ones, forming nested or cyclical relationships over time.
Recursion enables systems to grow by applying their own logic inward. This supports modular expansion, layered meaning, and continuity beyond linear progression.
Recursive patterns show up in mythology, iterative design, governance loops, and evolving knowledge frameworks.
Recursive structures aren’t just self-repeating, they’re self-contextualizing.
