Recursion

Recursion (and/or recursive embeddedness) is the process of repeating items in a self-similar way. For instance, when the surfaces of two mirrors are exactly parallel with each other the nested images that occur are a form of infinite recursion. Also see fractal. Also see recursion in computer science.

The term has a variety of meanings specific to a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic.

The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, in which it refers to a method of defining functions in which the function being defined is applied within its own definition.

Russell Wright of Theme Zoom is fond of using recursion in the context of neurocognitive emergence theory, artificial intelligence as well as hydrodynmic theory (as related to water purification and energizing mechanisms) within fluid dynamics. *Wright studied with Dan E Winter for many years as an intern. Daniel Winter (former child prodigy and controversial genius electronic engineer) is a huge proponant of recursive embeddedness and fractal (Phi) mathematics. This influence can be seen in Wright's new and emerging philosophy called Epimemetics, where recursive embededness is a core Epimeme.

Rollin McCraty of Heartmath (involved in the early lawsuit between Dan Winter and Meru) also has a wealth of legitimate scientific information dedicated to Heart Coherence. Please see Mr. McCraty's 2003 statement on this issue.


VS Ramachandran's work in neuroscience predicts the existence of a portion of the brain called metarepresentation generator and this is the source of what he calls "recursive embedding" and he predicts this region as the location of recursive (self-aware) thought.
