You keep asking for authoritative arguments instead of discussing, I'm just asking for something and you haven't given anything but big claims of the benefits of recursion without any explanations or example comparisons. And yes inductive reasoning is about compressing the domain in a finite set of disjoint cases that "eat itself" because you can reuse other parts of that domain in substructures. Wrapping all required information as function argument makes them self sustainable / encapsulated because nothing leaks out. This is still a grandiose claim without any explanation of what it is supposed to mean, let alone any explanation of why it is true, especially in comparison to other languages. Every language has functions.
