Recursive Gender / Recursigender
I did not coin "Recursive Gender" or this concept! I'm not sure who did but you can find others using it if you search (if you do have a source, please let me know so I can give proper attribution!). I did make Recursigender as an alternative term!
Recursion is the process of repeating items in a self-similar way, or simply "defining something in terms of itself". A procedure that goes through recursion is said to be 'Recursive'.
So a Recursive Gender would be one that repeats itself in a self-similar way and defines itself in terms of itself. An example would be "a boy who is a girl who is a boy who is a girl who is a boy who is a girl-[continuing on recursively in an infinite loop])".
Another example is one who is Recursively Bigender, with both of those genders being Bigender, and both of those genders within each of those genders being Bigender, and so on, recursively.
The flag was made by making a flag, then putting a smaller version of itself inside of it, then putting a smaller version of that flag inside of that flag itself, etc. etc.
I did this to reference the Droste effect, which is an example of Recursion where an image recursively appears within itself (in theory creating an infinite loop of the same image). The Ouroboros/Uroboros is used as a symbol to represent recursion, since the serpent is eating itself infinitely.
The flag PSD is at the post source link (or you can just go to my Deviantart @isobug). The Ouroboros symbol is from the Open Clip Art Library and is public domain.
