Mirrors Mirrored: Is That All There Is?

Recursive-hierarchical systems are multi-level systems that constitute their systemic closure through recursion. Their unique systemic nature has been ignored for years, causing confusion about their activity. In semiotics, for example, the logic of signification has fallen prey to the post-modernists’ “hall of mirrors,” which fails to grasp the logic of in-between that underlies recursive-hierarchical systems. My aim in this paper is to illustrate the logic of in-between by “deconstructing” the post-modernists’ hall of mirrors and the phenomenon of mirroring.
