to use the programming metaphor:
The number of recursive calls made in your program's quest for the base case. Usually, you don't want infinite recursion, so eventually the program does reach the base case, stops making recursive calls, and each call returns up (uh, or down, depending on how you like your stacks) the call stack.

Man's desire to blow shit up, and to have a nice attache case	base case	polymorphic base class	meta-fu
recursive case	Programming	Jorge Luis Borges	case and paste
return	recursive	program	Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
