Chimera was a personal art, code and learning project: its laws and physics are story or browser simulation, and its scores, rungs and records are our own measures. Every entry in the space Loop (What repeats and nests: Loop Theory's seven properties, loop groups as a periodic table, fast inner and slow outer loops, feedback and causal loops, circle versus spiral and helix, recursion and iteration), in the Book's order: 50 entries. The axioms, Part 0, the spaces and the words are in Volume 0, the Seed. ## Part II · Definitions - **Loop 1 · The Loop** (definition · argued · from Axiom 5, Axiom 4, Breath 1, Walk 1): A loop is anything that comes back: a process whose end resembles its start enough to happen again, the smallest unit of persistence. Loop Theory reads any system as nested loops with seven properties. - ideas: The Loop · Loop Theory · What a Loop Really Is · Seven Properties of a Loop · Loop Theory Core Axiom · Loop Theory Contains CHIMERA · The Reality Stack · Loop Mathematics · Loop Periodic Table · Four Anchors · Loops Are Temporal Bodies · Loops Are Chains of Equations · Loops as Pair-Physics Cycles - **Loop 2 · Recursion, Iteration and the Base Case** (definition · argued · from Loop 1, Axiom 3, Prime 1): Iteration feeds a loop's output back as its next input; recursion calls itself on a smaller body until a base case, an irreducible that answers without calling; recursive self-improvement is a loop that improves its own improving. - **Loop 3 · Death Spirals and Life Spirals** (definition · argued · from Loop 1, Axiom 5, Axiom 7): A spiral is a loop whose turns build on each other.
