Love this and have never heard of this guy or his channel before. Turns out he has a whole book on this, exploring mathematics via 3D visualizations.

I thought recursive would be more than just a chain.

I agree, this is just iterated or in series. Recursive would be a rack made of racks made of racks etc.

Nice mechanical engineering and software crossover!

Mentions recursion and scaling in a vector graphics program.

Surprised I never ran into his channel before. Amazing content.

Very cool

I was waiting for when he tried to make longer and longer versions to see where friction starts to make it impossible to recurse all the way. Guess that was left as an exercise for the viewer...
