giraffe recursion

A method of recursion that assumes, given the great distance that it can see, that infinite recursion is impossible so there's no need to check for the termination case.

recursively-chained doohs

Defined as "Dooh's goes dooh's goes dooh's goes dooh's goes...", a recursive chain of doohs represents a repeated exclamation of stupidity, often indicating that something is awry.

RECURSIVE COMPRESSION THEORY

A theory that says reality from matter to minds to memes evolves through repeated cycles of compression. Each layer condenses the previous one, creating shortcuts, symbols, and versions of versions. Consciousness shows up when something can compress itself while modeling the world.
“TikTok shows the recursive compression theory in action: a 10-minute idea crushed into 20 seconds that spawns another remix that spawns another trend.”
