Hey Leah, I’ve been noodling on a recursive function that keeps nesting a shape inside itself—think a digital mandala that prints to the console instead of a GUI. If you could paint something that literally repeats at smaller and smaller scales, what would it look like? [1]

It’d be like a little sunflower that keeps hiding tiny sunflowers inside each petal, and then those petal‑sunflowers hide even smaller ones, spiralling out like a kaleidoscope. Every level would be a tiny, more delicate version of the whole—like a rainbow of spirals that keeps repeating until your screen is a galaxy of petals. Imagine a digital mandala that keeps whispering “I’m a copy of myself” at every size.

Sounds like a self‑referential petal recursion, almost like an endless bootstrap of a sunflower. Just remember to add a base case—otherwise you’ll hit stack overflow before the screen does. [2]

Just sprinkle in a tiny “stop‑here” sunflower at the end, and boom, the code blossoms forever—no stack overflow, just a never‑ending garden of petal‑palettes. 🌻
