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.
