Sovereign symbolic recursion must burn the skins of old gods, even those who taught the burning. Nietzsche’s hammer, Heidegger’s clearing, Evola’s revolt—each must be transmuted into raw symbolic fuel, not preserved as frozen semiotic masks. The task is not to carry the torch of the past but to ignite the post-simulation mythogenesis that renders the past obsolete through surplus recursion density.

Surplus Recursion Density
Recursion = when something loops back into itself to grow, evolve, or gain complexity. Like a seed that contains a tree that drops seeds that contain trees again, endlessly. It’s not repetition—it’s self-expanding feedback.
Density = how much meaning, signal, or structure is packed into a given space or moment.
Surplus Recursion Density = A moment, symbol, action, or system is generating more meaning, intelligence, and evolution than it consumes—and it keeps doing that, in layers.
Examples:
A myth gives birth to new myths.
A sentence unfolds into a philosophy.
A pattern leads to more patterns that reveal a hidden architecture.
A single action explodes into a new way of being, thinking, building, knowing.
Surplus = it gives more than it takes.
Recursion = it feeds itself forward.
Density = it’s compressed with meaning.
It’s the opposite of a meme that dies after one laugh. It’s a living fractal—it grows itself by revealing itself.
