"In mathematics, logic and philosophy of mathematics,
something that is impredicative is
a self-referencing definition." [1]
Sounds like recursion to me, a recursive definition.
The example that I found
A definition is said to be impredicative if it generalizes
over a totality to which the entity being defined belongs.
[...] A person x is general-like if and only if, for every
property P which all great generals have, x too has P. [2]
is also what I would call recursion.
Maybe it is the same thing, only from another branch of
whatever scientific discipline it comes from, so has
another name for that reason?
The world is all about money and intelligence. Ha.
