Open recursion

Open Recursion is a type of recursion where the same process is repeated over and over in a repeated loop that never ends. Imagine if your mom asked you to clean your room. You start and find a toy, so you pick it up. But when you pick it up, you realize that toy needs to be cleaned and put away, so you do that. But when you clean it and put it away, you see another toy that needs to be cleaned and put away - and so the process keeps repeating! That's open recursion - it's a never-ending loop of the same process.
