Recursion
A system that refers to itself in its own definition

Recursion Bias
A form of generative bias where the attempt to correct a bias leads to the same bias at a higher level, creating an infinite regress. For example, being aware of confirmation bias might lead one to engage in confirmation bias about which information confirms that confirmation bias exists. Recursion bias can cause paralysis: everything you think is suspect, because your thinking about your thinking is also biased. It highlights the limits of pure introspection.
Recursion Bias Example: “He doubted his own doubt about being biased, then doubted that doubt—recursion bias, the infinite mirror of self‑skepticism.”

infinite nerd recursion
The situation wherein a small group of nerds will tend to jump from tangent to tangent because each point gives other people new things they want to talk about.
"Okay, so my wizard will cast color spray on the three guards."
"Man, wizards are so overpowered"
"Wait till I get epic level and can teleport you into orbit of the planet. You can't get down unless you have some ability to fly"
"Wouldn't you just explode from the pressure"
"Actually, as long as you breath out, you can stay alive and conscious for a minute or so. And the people at spaceX have training for when this might happen"
"Man, I'm amazed that a privately funded space organization has gotten so far"
"It's what happens when you get a bunch of nerds together"
"And a lot of money"
"You don't need the money, one of my professors built a submarine with his friends"
"It must have been a pain in the ass to organize"
"Yeah, it's like herding cats, where one of them can weld really well!"
... this infinite nerd recursion can continue indefinitely ...
