Cyclical events:
→ Reproduction
→ Echoes
→ Rise and fall
→ Fractals and patterns
More than cyclical. The object's existence is dependent on its own self production. For the object to be, it must already have been.
I wouldn't say that, because nothing is a perfect clone of something else, nor a perfect cycle, it's more like a spiral... They are sequences that occur within similar parameters, and that occur more in one direction, that of attenuation and dispersion, according to the law of entropy / chaos theory.
the formula is a short hand for a dynamical equation, like the ones from fractals,
`f(t+1) = a*f(t)`, "the next state is dependant on what happened in its previous state"
With `f(f)=f` its more mind bendy than that. f is a function, which takes itself as an input, and produces itself. For something to be a live (living as a process, alive as a state), it must come from something alive (if you subscribe to a specific definition of life). It itself is the origin.

Fun night of reading and diving down rabbit holes. I'm done for now... GN

A while back I put Satoshi"s words that wrote on chain as an ordinal to ensure they'd always be immutably stored. So the words that started the #Bitcoin blockchain now persist on the chain that they started.
