Here's what recursion is:
- What means "what means"?
- Who is "who is"?

recursion

Recursion is when something repeats. It does it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

That picture is having a smaller version of itself and a smaller and a smaller all the way down forever. It's recursion!

Recursal

Something that endlessly loops forever is recursal.

In theory, a black hole is recursal.

If you understand programming, you can endlessly loop a method (a) by putting that methods name inside of its own method, therefore method (a) is going to be a recursal method.

recursive

A procedure that is repeated over and over again.

This problem is a perfect example of a recursive formula.

recursion

Actually, recursion also includes a situation where B follows A and A follows B right back. Also, recursion doesn't have to be infinite. So there you go, that's your geek lesson for today.

A vicious circle uses recursion. Recursion exemplifies a vicious circle.

Recursion is not in common usage as far as I know. The whole entry is a joke (duh...)
