An unendly repetitive transformation from which the process or system is not anymore able to escape.

St. BEER writes: “… when this happens in the brain, the subject is called neurotic. Official politics, particularly in the field of economic affairs, seem to be given to such neuroses”(!) (1968, p.477).
