Concept recursion is the idea that a concept can be applied to itself.

An example of concept recursion is epiepiconcept which means knowledge about the knowledge about the concept. Epi2concept is a simplification of the term epiepiconcept. The number after the prefix defines how many times the concept is applied to itself.


A definition of recursion is:The repeated application of a recursive procedure or definition.
