Chapter 3: The Recursive Ruins

As you walk through the ruins, you notice a glowing rune embedded in a stone door. It reads:

πŸͺž Rune of Self-Reference

The stone doors part, revealing a glowing spiral staircase. Glyphs pulse with recursive energy.

β€œTo solve the self, one must define the self…”

Rune of Self-Reference

πŸͺž Hall of Mirrors

Countdown from 5 using recursion.



    
    
    

Hint: Use if n > 0: countdown(n-1)

πŸŒ€ Spiral Gate

β€œGive me the sum of 1 to 5. Recursively.”



    
    
    

Hint: Use if n == 0: return 0 and return n + recursive_sum(n-1).

πŸ” Echo Loop

Convert this loop into recursion.



    
    
    

Hint: If n > 0, print "Knock" and call knock(n-1).

πŸŽ–οΈ Rune of Self-Reference

The spiral resolves into clarity. β€œYou understand the shape of thought.”
