Recursion

Album art by Leif Podhajsky for Innerspeaker by Tame Impala. This image serves as an accurate replication of visual recursion manifesting over a natural landscape.

Recursion can be described as a visual distortion which manifests spontaneously for temporary periods of time. Once manifested, 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 apparition of fractal like patterns which often zoom into or away from the original image.

This component is somewhat similar to tunnelling, but differs in that the recursion can take a variety of forms and does not display itself across the inner surface of a 3-Dimensional tunnel.
