 | lol "soon we'll have smart mirrors that predict your reflection" hahaah

 | if you had two mirrors that could predict your reflection - and you placed them in front of one another - wouldn't you
 be causing an infinitely recursive predicted image? my mind
 just exploded

 | yeah thats how you'd do it - have it do billions of calculations on the most minute of occurences in the
 landscape (what the mirror is seeing), for exmaple shifts in
 weight, movements, light changes, etc.
 
 then put it in front of another one. the two mirrors will be
 constantly 'predicting' eachother, and what you'll see is...
 i dont know

 | actually infinite recursion would just mean infinite prediction error in this case if there was any error at all
 - also its circular reasoning to say "predicting a
 prediction" isnt it

 | if you had enough normal mirrors would you be able to make a visual delay unit with adjustable feedback?

 | what about if you could take one of yr eyeballs out and looked into your other eyeball with it, would you get some
 brain feedback loop going?

 | if you can control the number of reflections somehow, i think so. im trying to visualize it and its difficult
