Recursive Patterns

A Turing Machine that eats itself.

A hypothetical Turing Machine that consumes its own source code, producing an infinite loop of self-replication.

Imagine a world where the machine prints its own blueprint, and then prints its blueprint's blueprint, ad infinitum.

The Infinite Loop

A never-ending cycle of self-replication, where the machine writes its own source code, and then writes its source code's source code, and so on.

It's like a recursive rabbit hole, with no bottom in sight.

Or, it's like a recursive function call, with no base case.
