" they've nested the clause "the bat hit" inside of "the ball flew".Scientists have long wondered whether understanding these patterns is unique to humans.In the early 2000s, linguists thought that human language was the only form of animal communication that uses recursion.However, in a ...

There has been a recent spate of work on recursion as a central design feature of language and specifically of syntax. This short report points out that there is little evidence that unlimited recursion, understood as centre embedding, is typical of natu
In the time of Descartes and Leibniz, the defining technology was the mechanical clock. The human being became a sort of clockwork mechanism whose mind either was an immaterial substance separate from the body (Descartes) or was itself a preprogrammed mechanism (Leibniz). The mind has also, at...

Figure 2: The high-level description of the feedback mechanism in the learning process. Here, data are assumed to be human-curated and start off clean; then model 0 is trained and data are sampled from it; at step n, data are added to the overall data from step n−1, and this en...
I guess in theory a language with a single-function stack would not allow recursion (or any function calls at all beyond the main function). You could also artificially check that no function calls itself at any point I suppose. Don't ask to ask, just ask... please ...
