<< The Architect Age Recursion The Poles >>

Recursion is one of the periods of the xkcd comic Time, the last of the Castleiferous Era.
It lasted from frame 376 to frame 420 (counted from when it was first noticed by jaxnoth and smithers).

Content[]

Cueball builds a curious structure on top of the square-shaped mound. It reveals to be a miniature version of the sand-castle, a sixth the size, including a miniature miniature inside it. Megan enters, and Cueball shows her the miniature. Megan leaves to get something, and Cueball fixes bits of the large sand-castle. He then looks past the water, then fixes the miniature. Megan re-appears, and shows (via a screamer panel) a miniature trebuchet. Cueball watches with amazement as Megan places it on the miniature and shows it working. Megan and Cueball look off into the distance, and Megan remarks that she has no idea what the sea is doing. Cueball fixes a bit of sand-castle, then remarks that he doubts that they can make the "it" (presumably the sand castle) taller, and leaves, followed by Megan.
