Recursion: The Loop That Learnt to See
What if the universe could be understood not from a single point of view, but from many, light, water, matter, life, and the act of noticing itself?
The Loop That Learnt to See is a short, lyrical work of philosophical science writing told through shifting perspectives. Each story inhabits a different layer of reality, tracing a path from the early universe to conscious reflection, from photons released at the dawn of time to the awareness reading these words now.
Blending rigorous physics, biology, and cosmology with poetic clarity, this book explores evolution not as a simple linear progression, but as a recursive process, rules generating new rules, patterns shaping the conditions that shape them in return. Light propagates. Water persists through transformation. Chemistry repeats. Life stabilizes. Reflection turns inward.
The result is a meditation on time, entropy, continuity, and perception, one that resists easy answers while remaining grounded in what science actually knows. Each perspective folds into the next, until the loop closes where it not with an explanation, but with recognition.
This is not a book about escaping the universe.
It is a book about understanding how we are part of it.
