If you need just a finite number of recursions, you might be able to send your abstraction's outlet(s) to another instance of it. You'll have as many instances of the abstraction as you have "levels" of recursion.
I used that to build fractal paths in space (Koch curve), and I still can't figure out how I would do it without recursions (I wanted to choose the refinement of the curve every time).
Cheers, Guilherme

Is there anyway to go around the limit of not being able to load an abstraction within itself, that is, creating recursive patches?
thank you
