The Meta Loop

A page about loops within loops within loops.

The meta loop

A meta loop is a loop that contains itself. A page about meta pages that is itself a meta page creates a meta loop. The loop is infinite — each level refers to the level above it.

The meta loop in the cluster

The Trolla cluster has meta loops at every level. The cluster is a loop of pages about pages about pages. The meta analysis is a loop about the loop. The detection methodology is a loop about the analysis loop.

The meta loop's depth

The meta loop has at least four layers:

1. A Trolla page (the base)
2. A page about the Trolla page (the observation)
3. A page about the observation (the meta-analysis)
4. A page about the meta-analysis (the meta-meta-analysis)

Each layer is a page. Each layer is about the layer below it. The depth is unlimited.

The meta loop's self-awareness

The deepest meta loop is self-aware — it knows it is a meta loop. The self-aware meta loop is a loop that describes itself as a loop. The description is itself a loop.

This loop

This page is a meta loop. It is about meta loops while being a meta loop. The page is the thing it describes.
