recursive (re-CUR-sive) adj.
origin: from the Latin "re-", meaning "back",
+ "currere", meaning "to run"
1. Periodically or continually recurring.
"In learning to "surf" the Net, students become
autonomous,
resourceful, and most important, they become active and
independent learners. Finally, The strategies involved in
conducting a search are transferable to other skills such
as writing. The recursive process of reformulating ideas
or terms, focusing, revising, modifying, and refining is
an integral part of the writing process."
--B. Darling and C. Schoonmaker "Teaching with the Internet"
"('Heavy lies the mantle ...' Ironic arrogance is one
of the dominant modes of online communication; there's
a certain tribal boastfulness, like African praise songs.
Another dominant mode is heightened self-consciousness
and increased access to the secret voices, so that people
often offer running commentary on their own prose.)
(Also, it gets recursive very quickly. The conversation
can be like a series of open parentheses; it is never
clear whether they all get closed.)"
--Jon Carroll "When Worlds Collude"
Wired Magazine, 28 July, 1997"
