Incursion vs. Recursion — What's the Difference?

Incursion is a science fiction roleplaying game created by Richard Tucholka and published by Tri Tac Games in 1992.

Recursion (adjective: recursive) occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic.

An invasion or attack, especially a sudden or brief one

A method of defining a sequence of objects, such as an expression, function, or set, where some number of initial objects are given and each successive object is defined in terms of the preceding objects. The Fibonacci sequence is defined by recursion.

An aggressive entrance into foreign territory; a raid or invasion.

A set of objects so defined.

The act of entering another's territory or domain.

A rule describing the relation between an object in a recursive sequence in terms of the preceding objects.

The act of entering or running into

(Linguistics) The property of languages in which a structure, such as a phrase or clause, may form a part of a larger structure of the same kind, allowing for a potentially infinite variety of constructions.

An aggressive movement into somewhere; an invasion.

The act of recurring.

A running into; hence, an entering into a territory with hostile intention; a temporary invasion; a predatory or harassing inroad; a raid.

(mathematics) The act of defining an object (usually a function) in terms of that object itself.

Attack; occurrence.

(programming) The invocation of a procedure from within itself.

The act of entering some territory or domain (often in large numbers);

The act of recurring; return.

An attack that penetrates into enemy territory

(mathematics) an expression such that each term is generated by repeating a particular mathematical operation

The mistake of incurring liability or blame
