A thought process that one arrives in by trying to
prove
or validate a statement, but in the process ends up with the
original question
. And now for the diagram:
To prove
A
, I need
B
, and to prove
B
I need
C
but to prove
C
I need
A
!
What is a
boy
to do?
I personally think that recursive thought is caused by some err in
logic
, such that either one identifies the
mistake
or goes slowly and terminally
insane
.
A bit more
practical example
. I started
talking to myself
. Then I
stated
that I was talking to myself. Then I asked myself why I was talking to myself.
