Recursive Message
A recursion message is a message where an instance is both the caller and the receiver of the message.
Explanation
When a message is sent between two instances it is possible for the sender and receiver to be the same instance. This is a reflexive usage and should not be confused with a message that is sent between two separate instances of the same class.
A synchronous message is related to a recursion message as a recursion message is most often a synchronous message, where the source and the target are the same instance.
