meta-looping
Meta-looping is a self-referential process in which a system recursively contains scaled or analogous versions of itself, forming an infinite nested structure. Each level mirrors the prior one, generating an endless chain of identical or isomorphic patterns—whether in conceptual jokes, hierarchical systems, or physical scales—without termination.
That comedy sketch is pure meta-looping—every time they mock how overdone the joke is, the mockery itself becomes the new joke, and it just keeps folding in on itself.
Look at social media outrage cycles: people get mad about people getting mad about people getting mad. It’s meta-looping toxicity.
Fractals in nature are a perfect example of meta-looping—the coastline looks jagged at a mile scale, a yard scale, and a millimeter scale, all the way down.
