RecursiveAutophagia names a system’s capacity to consume parts of itself in order to continue operating. Autopoiesis, autoimmunity, self-reference and disautomation converge when internal structures—a self-revising code, an institution pruning its procedures or a model trained on its own outputs—are dismantled, recycled or absorbed to sustain further production. The operator marks the unstable boundary between adaptive regeneration and terminal exhaustion.
