'''Recursion''' can be described as a visual distortion which ~~manifests spontaneously for temporary periods of time. Once present, it~~ partially to completely alters the appearance of one's external environment by repeating specific sections of itself across itself in a self-similar fashion. ~~This experience~~ results in the appearance of fractal-like patterns which often zoom into or away from the original image.

'''Recursion''' can be described as a visual distortion which partially to completely alters the appearance of one's external environment by repeating specific sections of itself across itself in a self-similar fashion. It results in the appearance of fractal-like patterns which often zoom into or away from the original image. This effect typically manifests spontaneously for very brief and fleeting periods of time.

Recursion is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[~~2C-B]], [[psilocin~~]], and [[mescaline]].
