  using System;


class MyWorld
{
public static void Main()
{
MyWorld.Main();
//do something
}
}


recursion causes stack overflow in a limited resource
environment. in humans recursion provides the satis-
faction of self-justification; the elixir of foundation; a
closed-loop positivism of pleasure, reason or revelation.

nevertheless, there is a certain beyond-recursion that
is forever the apophatic ground of what is called my
world--the impossible that is presupposed in any system
of possibility that will eventually make itself known in the
stack overflow that happens in the dissonance that
causes reflection: the opening to the possibility that the
code of the class is not the definitive prism for under-
standing the system--not to mention the platform that
embodies the system and the hardware that encases
the platform and the network that brings communicated
identity to the hardware and on and on ad infinitum.

self-recursion is a bug.
it will inevitably crash the system;
binary on silicon or biochemistry on carbon.
