Abstract
The concept of Recursion occurs in several contexts: mathematical
reasoning (Poincaré), computability theory (Turing, Church), cybernetics
(von Foerster), linguistics (Chomsky), epistemology (Cassirer),
sociology (Luhmann) and others. It is remarkable that recursion is also
emerging as a fundamental key in unraveling biological processes
(Maturana, Varela, Damasio, Edelman). We show that there is an
isomorphism between biological recursion and all other type of
recursions and it is precisely this isomorphism which gives order and
therefore meaning to the multiplicity of our experience.
